But the promotion of tourism to Germany is only one of the many tasks of the BMWA. Its focal point is the preservation and strengthening of the German economy. Among its responsibilities are the advancement of European integration, promotion of international trade relations, strengthening of the economic position of small and midsize companies, and the fostering of entrepreneurial spirit in the economy.
