VDR business tour 2024: Mobility of the future in focus
Yesterday the Hessian State Representation in Berlin became a melting pot of ideas: At the VDR business tour 2024, brilliant heads from politics and business came together! They discussed the pressing challenges in the world of business mobility. VDR managing director Jens Schließmann left no doubt as to how important business trips are for our economy. "Modern mobility must be simple, sustainable, safe and reliable," he called, and thus implied the urgency to urgently meet these requirements!
But what does that mean for companies and tour operators? The answer lies in the seamless integration and linking of various modes of transport. The VDR is the key player here. "Future -oriented solutions are in demand!" So continue. Federal Minister Dr. In his digital greeting, Volker Wissing praised the personal encounter as a "currency for success" and described the need for robust, networked mobility as indispensable for the German economy.
multimodality as the key to the mobility revolution
The first panel revolved around the future -oriented multimodality, and the mobility experts were unmistakable: "Multimodality combines the large trends - climate neutrality, individualization and digitization," explained Jana Kugoth from the Tagesspiegel Background. VDR Vice President Inge Pirner emphasized that the seamless integration of modes of transport was essential to meet modern business travelers. And Uta Maria Pfeiffer from the BDI noted that the so-called mobility budget would be an easy way to address these challenges-a "low-hanging fruit" that would only have to be picked!
The infrastructure on the test bench!
But what about the infrastructure? In a further discussion, VDR President Christoph Carnier made it clear that a resilient and reliable infrastructure for business travelers is the be-all and end-all. Together with Daniel Geraskov from Deutsche Bahn and Jan Körner from Lufthansa, it became clear: "The current renovation of the railway may now be a hindrance, but it will bring more stability in the long term". Nevertheless: The cost pressure at the German location leads to drastic flight plan reductions that rob the business travelers!
In the final discussion round, the reduction of bureaucratic hurdles was discussed. The politicians Daniel Bartz and Anja Karliczek underlined the need to expand the infrastructure to guarantee future -capable mobility. Everyone agrees here: "Business trips are an important part of the tourism industry!"
to stretch the bow, Sven Liebert from the Federal Association of the German Tourism Economy emphasized that it makes no difference whether you wear a vacation case or a briefcase - it's about the same mobility!
Inge Pirner closed the event with an appeal: "There is no standstill in the business travel industry. We have to create a robust infrastructure that also works in times of crisis!" Political framework is essential to enable transformation. The interest and commitment of political decision -makers are a promising start!
A strong network for mobility: the VDR has been the driving force in the area of business mobility for over 50 years. With more than 600 member companies, he is the largest network for mobility management in Germany and is committed to a regulatory environment that is economically and ecologically balanced!
