Take a trip! But how? In these times of Zoom fatigue, people have a longing once again to relax on the sofa and enjoy a good evening of information and entertainment. From 9 to 12 March 2021 from around 7 to 9.30 p.m., the Berlin Travel Festival // Digital (BTF // Digital) will be providing an alternative to the travelogues on streaming services and television. An online video magazine is due to be launched that will offer travellers fresh inspiration for their upcoming vacations. The programme series slogan is “A stream comes true!”. Access to the BTF // Digital service and streaming programme is via the website of the Berlin Travel Festival only. The Berlin Travel Festival is a partner event of ITB Berlin. The new virtual platforms ITB Berlin NOW and BTF // Digital complement each other perfectly by separately targeting B2B and B2C audiences. While those taking part in BTF // Digital can either enjoy a travelogue premiere every night, or make their own selections in the mediatheque at a later date, the leading business event ITB Berlin NOW will once again be bringing the global travel industry together - at a live virtual event and on demand.

It will offer immediately usable ideas and bookable services”, said Bernd Neff, founder and managing director of the Berlin Travel Festival.

The four episodes will each be devoted to an aspect of travel of interest to the public: Safe Trips + Safe Places, Tiny Living + Slow Travel, Freedom + Adventure and Culture Trips.Each evening’s entertainment will feature a wide range of formats, including essays, interviews, live
