Sustainable tourism development

We enjoy hosting Berlin’s visitors, and are always working to ensure that both visitors and locals can enjoy the city to the full. This is why we support city-friendly, sustainable tourism. We regard it as especially important for all those involved to play an active part. Our business activities are informed by a strong awareness of our responsibility for Berlin’s important economic sector and for the city’s residents and visitors.
