      30th anniversary of\nthe fall of the Berlin Wall: <\/strong>In the current week, not only Berlin has\ncelebrated the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall with events and\nexhibitions dealing with its construction, the division of Berlin, the Cold War\nand the Peaceful Revolution of 1989. This was also one of the talking points of\nthe annual meeting of the German travel industry (BTW) in Berlin. BTW\ncommunicated market numbers for the tourism industry: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Economic factor tourism:<\/strong> Nearly 3 million people in Germany owe their jobs to tourism. Around 4 percent of gross value added in Germany is accounted for by tourism consumption. Thus, the industry is on par with the automotive industry and mechanical engineering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Travel mood:<\/strong> The tourism index also showed a positive travel mood and forecast for the whole of 2019 in the middle of the year. Consumer mood as well as the desire to travel lasted until the middle of the year – despite criticisms critical of tourism in the course of the climate debate. The tourism index was clearly in positive territory at 1.4 points in the middle of the year. Based on the tourism index, travel days are expected to increase by around 1.5 percent for the full year 2019. (Source: BTW).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Insolvency protection\nof TUI and DER:<\/strong> Examinations by the German Federal Financial Supervisory\nAuthority (Bafin) in the case of customer money protection agreements of the\nGerman Travel Price Security Association (DRS), include tour operators such as\nTUI and DER Touristik, have concluded its financial securities to be\ninsufficient, should a case of emergency arise. The procedure of its customer\nmoney protection is based on mutual protection. Although its form has offered\nas reliable and cheaper option to its client, the evaluation of the German\nFederal Financial Supervisory Authority have categorized it to be an\ninadmissible risk mitigation. Since the insolvency of Thomas Cook, all options\nare being evaluated and reconsidered, such as the classic form of reinsurance\ncoverage or the alternative bank guarantees. Although the classic forms of\nfinancial protection are calculated to be of higher costs, the importance of\nreliable safeguarding cannot be dismissed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      German tourism\nindustry looks ahead to post-Cook future: <\/strong>The tourism industry needs\nto re-establish consumer trust in package holidays and ensure fairer business\nrelationships in response to the Thomas Cook insolvency, top German managers\nagreed during an fvw round-table discussion. Five senior managers \u2013 S\u00f6ren\nHartmann (DER Touristik), Gerald Kassner (Schauinsland-Reisen), Thomas B\u00f6sl\n(RT-Reisen), Paul Schwaiger (Condor) and Finn Ackermann (Iberostar) \u2013 accepted\nfvw’s invitation to discuss the impact of the insolvency of Germany\u2019s\nsecond-largest tour operator on the market and on consumers.  All the\ndiscussion participants agreed that the German tour operator insolvency\ninsurance law would have to be reformed in the wake of Cook’s collapse, which\nhad shown that \u20ac110 million was far too low as an insurance sum. But opinions\nvaried whether premiums should simply be increased or a new model was\nnecessary. The tourism managers were united in their support for Condor, which\nis currently in talks with potential buyers, as an independent leisure airline.\n\u00abIt’s important for Condor that we say that we want to have this product\nin future. That will give any future investor the necessary security,\u00bb\nsaid Hartmann. \u00abAs an industry, we stand behind this airline and want to\nhave it as an independent carrier.\u00bb Condor sales director Paul Schwaiger\nwelcomed this support. \u00abIf we had not had the support of our major\ncustomers, sales partners and the public, then we would not have stood a\nchance,\u00bb he admitted. In future, Condor wanted to sell capacity mostly through\ndiverse tour operators with only a relatively small proportion of direct sales\nto consumers, he added, according to FVW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Turkey drops as\nGerman bookings weaken in October: <\/strong>German bookings for top holiday\ndestinations dropped back in October with a slump in demand for Turkey, Greece\nand parts of Spain reported FVW recently. The overall 3% fall last month\nfollows a surprisingly strong 8% rise in September. However, this latter figure\nmay have been distorted by a surge in new bookings by Thomas Cook customers,\ngiven the 27% rise in summer 2019 bookings in September reported by researchers\nTDA who highlighted this one-off effect. In October, demand appears to have\ntailed off again as German consumers mostly focused on destinations for winter\n2019\/20 holidays in the sun or booked early for next summer, according to the\nAmadeus figures for package and online bookings for the top ten mass\ndestinations. Demand for Spain fluctuated strongly last month. Bookings for\nPalma tumbled by 15%, continuing the generally weak demand for Majorca in\nrecent months. Further west, however, three of the four main Canary Island\ndestinations grew on the German market last month. Bookings for Fuerteventura\n(+12%) and Lanzarote (+9%) increased strongly while Tenerife South (+1%) showed\na slight rise. But Las Palmas (-7%) once again suffered a significant decline.\nGreece had a poor month in terms of the German package and online bookings.\nBoth Heraklion (-7%) and Rhodes (-6%) saw weaker demand in contrast to strong\ndouble-digit growth in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
