• Plans detail a beach club, sunset arena, open-view concert shell, hotel, playground, and dog area with a seamless link to pedestrian zones.
• Ole König cited expected state and federal grants and noted a €18 million cash balance at Insel Sylt Tourismus Service as part of the financing concept.
• The scheme forecasts new restaurants and a hotel that proponents say could generate seven-figure annual business tax receipts.
