ITB Berlin undertakes, understands and encourages Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as an overarching concept for sustainable corporate development in tourism. As the leading trade show for the tourism industry, ITB Berlin is actively aware of tourism’s responsibilities to society as a whole and sees itself as a link between research and science, between companies, markets and societies. As an example, ITB Berlin supports the events of the Studienkreis für Tourismus und Entwicklung
