The annual (ITB) travel show in Berlin is regarded as the world's biggest vacation catalogue: From the tourist magnets of Spain, the Dominican Republic and Austria to best-kept-secret destinations such as Bhutan, Gambia or Tajikistan - 180 countries will be presenting themselves under Berlin's radio tower from March 10 to 14. Visitors will be able to gaze in awe at the Indian dancers, admire the dexterity of cigar rollers from the Caribbean and try out Mongolian nomad tents for size and comfort. The travel trade will be watching the event closely too since the world's largest event of its kind is an important barometer for business. According to the German Travel Agents' Federation, bookings for 2009 held up well despite the global economic crisis. On the other hand, prices are under pressure which affects turnover too.

Germany’s winegrowing regions are among the most northerly in the world. That is what makes German wines so distinctive: the grapes enjoy long periods of growth in moderate summer heat, which gives the wines their renowned lightness and fruity aroma. Except for two regions in eastern Germany, all the country’s winegrowing areas are in the south and south-west, where they are subject to the mild Gulf Stream climate from the west and the dry continental climate from the east.

The United Nations has designated 2010 as the International Year of Biodiversity. Reason enough for the German Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU) as official UN partner to devote this year – the 111th anniversary of its founding – to the dramatic decline in biodiversity. Globally, 16,000 species are regarded as threatened with extinction, that’s around a quarter of all mammals, a third of all amphibians and twelve per cent of birds.

RUHR.2010. European Capital of Culture
On 23 January 1710, the Elector of Saxony, August the Strong, founded the first European porcelain manufactory in Meissen under the name “Royal Polish and Electoral Saxon Porcelain Manufactory”. A couple of years before, the alchemist Friedrich Böttger had been the first person in Europe to create a fine, hard-paste porcelain that closely resembled the then highly regarded porcelain imported from China.
