Taxi meets Counter – DeHoGa and TMV seek common ground
The message was clear: Two industries, both characterized by medium-sized businesses, are coming closer together. In the future, the TMV and DeHoGa want to cooperate more closely — not only because their customer bases often overlap but also because the political challenges are similar.
Common Interests – Common Voice
The TMV has long seen itself as a service provider in the background of the tourist experience. "When someone arrives at the train station or airport, they want to get to the hotel reliably and comfortably," say Kroker and Meinhardt. For hotels, inns, and restaurants, taxis are therefore more than just a means of transport — they are part of guest care. In many cities, this interface runs relatively smoothly; however, in rural areas, there is room for improvement. Here, both associations see potential.
But it is not only service issues that are driving the alignment forward. The broader political climate also plays a role. The debate about a nationwide minimum wage of 15 euros concerns both industries equally. What at first glance looks like social progress has side effects from the perspective of the associations: rising costs for personnel, prices – and ultimately also for social security contributions.
Appeal to the Minimum Wage Commission
“We fight for fair wages,” emphasizes TMV President Kroker. “But there is an independent Minimum Wage Commission for this. Their decisions should not be politically undermined.”
Particularly the medium-sized sectors would otherwise face additional burdens that many smaller businesses would hardly be able to cope with.
The two managing directors Hartges and Meinhardt have already made arrangements for the coming weeks. The goal is to develop a structural collaboration from the current rapprochement. This also includes coordination in political networks – such as in reducing bureaucracy or in a support agenda for medium-sized businesses.
Two Industries, One Guest
There are many points of connection in terms of content: tourism and mobility are interdependent. Whether it's a city vacation, business trip, or conference – a functioning transportation system is part of hospitality. Taxi rides are often the first and last contact with the travel destination. Accordingly, there is great interest on both sides in securing standards and simultaneously developing new solutions – even beyond major cities.
What began in Berlin as a personal commitment could thus develop into a long-term alliance. The taxi is not only to be a means of transport but also part of the overall tourism package – a perspective that could help both industries not to lose touch during difficult times.
