Prepared for take off: Berlin’s Sleeping Beauties podcast, Episode 5

  The latest podcast episode from AXICA Berlin’s Mark Felstead, in conjunction with Mash Media, updates us on what events are currently allowed to be held in Berlin. Viewers will also get expert insights on how the next phases of the loosening of the restrictions might effect the process of hosting events in the city. There is also a new prognosis on that long running saga surrounding the city’s airports and, in particular, some good news on the opening of Berlin’s new city airport! Marco Oelschlegel, Berlin’s recently appointed Head of the Berlin Convention Office and main guest expert on this week’s show, offers valuable insights on all the above themes and more. He offers a rundown of the current situation in the city for both tourists (so sadly missed) and marks the cards for planners intent on hosting events in the capital. Marco explains the phasing in of the loosening of the restrictions, with Germany’s Senate now realising just how important the event and tourism industry is to the city’s economy. Mark and Marco also explore the prognosis for air travel returning to the city and discuss some live and hybrid events taking place this week.
