nachhaltige Erlebniswelten

English translation: memorable experiences

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:nachhaltige Erlebniswelten
English translation:memorable experiences

Marketing - Tourism & Travel / Werbetext
German term or phrase: nachhaltige Erlebniswelten
Es handelt sich um den Werbetext für ein Tourismusunternehmen. Es geht um Natur, Sport und Kultur, in diesem Zusammenhang heißt es: "Nachhaltige Erlebniswelten, die den Urlauber einladen, mit allen Sinnen zu genießen und zu sich selbst zu finden".

Mir wäre "A sustainable environment ..." oder "A sustainable world of experience... " eingefallen. Ich komme hier irgendwie nicht weiter. Kann man das so sagen? Gibt es eine bessere Lösung??

memorable experiences
Explanation:
I think it's less about sustainability here than memorability. They want to create a lasting memory.

Memorable experiences that invite holidaymakers to enjoy them with all their senses and discover something about themselves.

I'm not sure whether the '-welten' needs shoehorning in or not.

Providing a venue/backdrop for memorable experiences that invite holidaymakers to enjoy them with all their senses and discover something about themselves.

Hmmm, still thinking!

Reference: nachhaltig - a buzzword

Reference information:
You can interpret "nachhaltig" in a number of ways here. It may be a nod to the ecological or environmentally-friendly character of these tourist offers, or a reference to the memorability of the experiences -- or both! -- but essentially "nachhaltig" is a buzzword that is rapidly losing it's original meaning.
