Berlin Unveils Ambitious Water Tourism Expansion Plan

The city's new strategy aims to enhance infrastructure and digital services to boost sustainable tourism on its waterways.

Berlin's Senate has approved a new water tourism concept, spearheaded by Economic Senator Franziska Giffey, to be implemented by spring 2025.
The plan includes the development of more docking stations, rest areas, and charging points for electric boats along Berlin's waterways.
A digital information system will be introduced to provide real-time updates on docking availability, weather conditions, and recommended routes.
Berlin aims to leverage its extensive network of rivers and lakes to attract tourists beyond traditional city hotspots.
An initial budget of €800,000 has been allocated for planning and marketing efforts to promote Berlin as a premier water tourism destination.
