Budget lock in Berlin: High -class trips at risk - worries in Brandenburg!

Bremsdorfer Mühle, 15537 Schlaubetal, Deutschland - NAG/NAG Redaktion - In Berlin, a budget lock ensures uncertainty in the youth travel industry, especially when it comes to school trips. Schools in the capital are currently not allowed to book school trips, which provides great concerns in Brandenburg. According to a letter from the Berlin administration, no new contracts may be concluded to avoid costs for the state budget. Youth hostels, which are strongly dependent on bookings by Berlin students, are particularly affected - in some facilities they make up to 60 percent of the bookings.

The restrictions could not only cause problems at short notice, but also have long -term consequences for planning school trips. Providers strive to offer open reservations to continue to offer Berlin classes. "Despite the budget lock, many teachers or parent representatives ask for free places," reports Marcus Hirschberg from the youth hostel. In order to counteract the uncertainties, many houses offer non -binding reservations. The problem remains that numerous hostels have already been fully booked for months and even years, which makes the Situation very difficult for Berlin students.
