withBetween flight price comparison apps, digital package deals, and travel discounts through newsletters, the next vacation is just a click away, and traditional travel agencies have disappeared from the urban landscape for years. As if this were not enough, the pandemic will of course deal a particularly severe blow to the tourism industry. “Kalender Reisen” in Sanderstraße in Berlin is one of those small travel agencies in the fashionable district of Kreuzkölln that doesn’t really make you wonder if it has disappeared. And because between sports bars and trendy bars, dusty second-hand dealers, and overpriced antique shops, gentrification means that old-fashioned establishments are gradually being eliminated anyway. This is actually a shame-after all, personal advice is an asset in any industry, especially when you travel more than eighty-five times.
In the four days from August 25th to 29th, “calendar travel” was actually suppressed-by a different travel agency, all places-which may be the best thing for new and old tourists. To understand this, you have to look back: As a pop-up event, Swiss running brand ON now rents the so-called “Cloudaway Travel Agency”, a temporary travel agency that invites Berliners to redesign their own city exploration. From running to hidden architectural treasures, unusual destinations in the Berlin area or visiting exhibitions and restaurants in the capital that may not be known to everyone-free!According to the motto First come first served -Can be booked.
Most importantly, there is a city map where Berliners such as director and casting director Tsellot Melesse or photographer Jorge Alvarado shared their city tips. These include weird attractions, such as the “Bierpinsel” tower restaurant in Steglitz, whose futuristic design makes it a particularly weird architectural “sign” in West Berlin, as well as the Liu Noodle House, the recommended Sichuan cuisine inside, or the hopscotch reading Room, a bookstore specializing in English and non-Western literature. Target? As always, look far away when traveling in your own city. In addition to Berlin, Los Angeles will also have “Cloudaway Travel Agency”.
Why do running shoe manufacturers open temporary travel agencies?
On actually means that they are as sustainable as technologically advanced sports shoes. They are known for the so-called cloud technology. This sole is not continuous, but is composed of many small “cloud clusters”, which should be able to distribute the runner’s weight well. They are also related to the theme of “travel” because they have now launched a travel shoe: “Cloudaway”, a particularly light style made of vegan suede or mesh fabric made of recycled polyester, which is also very Squeeze into each suitcase flatly and leave. According to the brand, this shoe should be designed in the way of future travel: more conscious, slower, and stay in one place longer.
Of course, when the name “Cloudaway” was heard, the doorbell rang. Travel agencies and shoe promotions are a neighbourhood spectacle. You can also try them on at Cloudaway Travel Agency-by the way, I recommend it because it is not only small in terms of ecological footprint, but you can also imagine walking comfortably in urban spaces. Hour. In an era when long-distance travel is faltering, and at the same time eager for personal encounters and new experiences, the idea of travel agencies, whether they are promotional or not, seems to be very clever. Especially because local travel agencies also have rental support during this time-and already at the opening event on Tuesday night, one or another local announced that they will also stay at “Kalender Reisen” after the pop-up event. In this regard, both parties benefit from it.
By the way, people can afford this spectacle. Since the epidemic, running experts have experienced a real “running” unlike the travel industry. In 2020 alone, the textile industry has achieved sales of 397 million, an increase of 59% over the previous year. It is expected to reach its peak this year. In addition, they are currently planning an initial public offering. You cannot book such a high flight at any travel agency. Instead, for example, visit the Gaia restaurant that recently opened in Uckermark. Or in the Julia Stoschek series. Or take a shuttle bus to the countless lakes in the Berlin area.
