”With the ITB Buyers Circle we have established an institution at ITB Berlin“, said David Ruetz, head of ITB Berlin. ”This year numerous senior buyers have applied. Many of them are regular visitors whom we are welcoming again. This is proof that our exclusive circle is very popular with buyers.“

The three tours will take visitors to Hanseatic cities on the Baltic, the islands of Rügen and Usedom and to the federal state’s palaces, lakes and national parks.
