Living ideas – Connecting lives Munich for Tourism Professionals

Dear travel industry partners,

Isn’t it true that the backbone of our industry is service and support? Yes. And when you top excellent service with efficiency and passenger-friendly facilities you have what it takes to successfully operate an international hub airport. »Living ideas – Connecting lives« is much more than ’s new slogan; it defines the steadfast commitment to our passengers and partners. They are among the 12 million travelers worldwide who participated in the internationally renowned Skytrax survey 2013 that identified Munich Airport as »The Best Airport in Central Europe« and »The 6th Best Airport Worldwide«.

As Munich Airport is constantly improving its state-of-the-art facilities and service portfolio we have also decided to reposition our brand and thus to redesign our tool for the travel trade. Our Sales Guide has a new layout and will make it easier for planners to organize travel packages to Munich, Bavaria and Romantic Europe. Spectacular Alpine scenery and numerous UNESCO World Heritage Sites await the traveler upon arrival at Munich Airport. One is quickly captivated by the places where history was made and quite tempted to travel down Bavaria’s extensive network of holiday routes to experience the region’s culture. Why resist the opportunity to experience medieval cities, picturesque villages, amazing architecture and fabulous shopping?

Another Bavarian jewel is the city of Munich itself. Here trend merges with tradition to create an atmosphere of magic. Discover the features that make Munich an extremely popular city: outstanding museums, famous theaters and orchestras, magnificent palaces, lovely parks, gourmet temples, down-to-earth beer gardens and much more…

Great travel destinations need powerful gateways. Looking back, the development of Munich Airport has been a dynamic process from a mainly point-to-point airport into one of Europe’s most modern hub airports. Currently, Munich Airport ranks number seven in the »Champions League« of European airports. Yet, I firmly believe that we have a good chance of becoming one of Europe’s Top 5 hub airports by the Sales Guide Online! year 2020. • Munich information (recommended tours, top sights, excursions,…) Even so, we will always pursue the commitment to our tourism region and the close • Service (guides, brochures, hotel reservations, fam trips,…) cooperation with you – our travel industry partners. • Partners (incoming agencies, PCO, DMC, car rental, public transport,…) • News (newsletter, new hotels & sights,…) • Press & Media service (photo service, press releases, footage,…) • Facts and Figures Dr. Michael Kerkloh President and CEO of Munich Airport
