At this year`s Internationale Tourismus-Borse (ITB) in Berlin (16 to 20 March) the tourism companies in the Preussag<.> Group will be showcased in Hall 25 on a functional stand covering almost 3,000 square metres. The part of the stand open to the general public provides visitors with an informative round trip of the World of TUI brand world. The rear of the stand is designated for discussions with trade visitors.

The main focus of our participation this year is an intensive exchange of ideas with business partners, and we have therefore provided an appropriate forum for discussions. This trend is fully reflected in our new stand concept which is designed on the basis of our past stands, says Elfi Henze, Preussag Group Head of Events.

The new stand echoes the new World of TUI design and includes information counters on the well known tourism brands such as TUI, Hapag-Lloyd Flug, Hapag-Lloyd Kreuzfahrten, 1-2-FLY, airtours, Wolters and GeBeCo. The major hotel companies within the Group are also presented including RIU Hotels & Resorts and Robinson.

For the first time, the Group will inform about career and training opportunities. Staff from the Personnel Marketing Department will be on hand to provide potential applicants with professional advice.
