On 09.03.2017, Johannes Bohnen discussed how politics steers tourism as a political analyst on a panel of Inforadio rbb. What are the effects of populism, terrorism, and national isolation on the stream of visitors? Dr. Bohnen suggested that tourism companies in particular are being asked to invest in the political stability of their travel destinations. Taking this responsibility would ultimately strengthen their economic success. Dr. Bohnen was joined in the debate by Songül Göktas-Rosati, Managing Director of Öger-Tours GmbH, Norbert Fiebig, President of the German Travel Association, Prof. Dr. Martin Lohmann, Scientific Director and Managing Director of the Institute for Tourism and Spa Research in Northern Europe, and Frank Püttman, Director of Public Policy at TUI. The program was broadcast on March 12, 2017.
