Last week I was traveling at the ITB in Berlin, the world's largest tourism fair. Which was expected, pure sensory overload - noise, smells and views from almost every country on Earth, the force, all within a few hours to a port; Hinz and Kunz as the way, every possible language ringing through the halls ... Hammer.
The Fair: understand the Germans to stage really, and the others notice. In Hanover, there is CeBIT, the world's leading computer science fair, in Frankfurt, the world's biggest book fair takes place always Otherwise, the greatest things usually found in the U.S. or, increasingly, China. But with shows to know from the Germans.
you even have invented the term "fair". Since the English need many words - "fair trade" for the event and exhibition center "for the venue - and the rich somehow failed to match the meaning of" fair ". The fair is an important part of almost every major German city, always in the public transport network anchored and architecturally accessible, uh, impressive. And not only every city has one, each city also has its themes: From dogs in Dortmund toys in Nuremberg about so few things of more or less important.
In the UK, however, be there at the Birmingham NEC and Earls Court in London, and that's it anyway. Media effect and are popular by the general public in any case, the Ideal Home Show (houses and establishments shall constitute something like a British fetish) and the Boat Show, but since it was somehow too.
No, the show is a German thing per se. Take them but also many aspects of Germany together today: a not to be striking sense of organization, the obvious large-scale operation of public transport and an informal and friendly international.
Thank you for the pictures I Schrottie Flickr users (top) and the ITB (below)
