“Together with our customers, we are starting the new event year full of energy, because the industry is finally on the upswing again,” says Marina Christensen, Head of Sales at BWH Hotel Group Central Europe GmbH and responsible for the Corporate Travel and MICE divisions. “It has already become clear in 2022 that events are coming back in the presence and that classic conferences, meetings and workshops in particular have re-established themselves with great strength. Nevertheless, our conference hotels continue to contribute with their technical infrastructure to successful digital event formats, which are still in demand as well.”

“Day-to-day business in the MICE segment is becoming increasingly short-term. That’s why meeting planners need a good overview of what’s on offer, comparability and fast, uncomplicated processing, ideally with personal advice,” says Marina Christensen. “On the one hand, we can serve that with our MICE Guide. On the other hand, our experts at the MICE Desk are personally available to our customers for advice and assistance – whether on the phone, by email or via our appreciated Express Inquiry.”
