Thanks to the European Clubs and the National Committees, the traditional ITB Berlin meeting took place on March 8, 2023, with Skal Germany collaborating with Skal Italia, who organized the traditional gathering of Skal members present at the ITB Berlin.
Unlike previous years, Sardinia Region, (Italy) hosted Skal members from Germany, Spain, Croatia, Czech Republic, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, India, Nepal, USA, and Georgia at their stand.
