The travel industry calls for political support: act now for the future!
Find out everything about the travel industry's current challenges and political demands on June 1, 2025.
The travel industry calls for political support: act now for the future!
The travel industry is urgently calling for more political support in order to recover from the effects of the last few years. Many companies are still severely affected and see political decisions as a key to stabilizing the market. This was particularly evident at the last industry representatives conference, which took place on June 1, 2025. The participants emphasized the need for measures that support tourism and enable positive development. Ariva reports that these demands have become more urgent, especially after the challenges posed by the pandemic and other crises.
A key point was the call for a timely framework for action that includes both financial support and clear guidelines. This would help companies better prepare for market challenges and adapt more quickly. The industry agrees that without the right political support, recovery will be slow.
Technical challenges in the trading system
Parallel to the developments in the travel industry, technical disruptions occurred in the trading system of the Xetra platform. It was discovered that there was a problem in the trading system that was affecting the market status windows. These status windows show the current technical availability of the system. Loud Xetra inform newsboard messages about existing technical problems and express the recommendation not to make decisions based on the status windows, but to wait for information from the production newsboard.
There is an emergency playbook for dealing with such disruptions, which can be found on the Xetra website. It contains important information on communication strategies, reopening measures and recommendations for action in times of crisis. The corresponding chapters 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 of the playbook are particularly relevant for how to deal with technical problems.
These current events show how important it is for all industries to be prepared for technological and political uncertainties. While the travel industry is calling for more support, it is also important to ensure the stability of the trading infrastructure so as not to put additional strain on the market.
