DEHOGA Spring Festival 2025

On 5 May 2025, DEHOGA Baden-Württemberg welcomed around 3,500 hotel and gastronomy entrepreneurs to the “Beim Benz” marquee at Stuttgart’s traditional spring festival in Cannstatter Wasen. Coming from all across Germany, this event provided excellent networking opportunities for guests, as well as the chance to discuss key industry topics such as reducing red tape, introducing fair VAT rules and ensuring more flexible working hours.

There was also a strong political presence, with party representatives from all levels of government keen to share their ideas for strengthening the hospitality sector, an issue currently under discussion. One particular highlight was the raffle, the proceeds of which will be invested in training for the hospitality experts of tomorrow.
