Of all the places to seek and cherish a staple of Baravian hospitality, the airport lounge is not what comes to mind. But now it will, with the opening of the Bayern Welcome Lounge, travellers arriving in Munich from all over the world and those meeting them at the airport have a pleasant place to meet. The lounge, operated by Bayern Tourismus Marketing, the official marketing organisation for the Bavarian tourism industry, offers them a spot to relax in contemporary, Bavarian-themed surroundings. It is situated in the public area of Terminal 2, immediately after the exit from the baggage claim.
Designed as a multimedia experience, the lounge presents visitors with enjoyable infotainment and travel inspirations covering every aspect of Bavaria, Germany's most popular state for tourism. The concept utilizes interactive touchscreens, 360° video projections and a large media wall. Dr Michael Kerkloh, the president and CEO of Munich Airport, was delighted with his first impression: "This gives our guests a virtual foretaste of what awaits them in our many-faceted region right after landing here."
With direct access from the lounge to the new Käfer Bistro, guests will not go hungry or thirsty.
