Oktoberfest for 2020 and 2021 were cancelled....lot of cash revenue/profits....down the drain.
I noticed while watching N-TV (German commercial news) this morning....new hype. The Munich mayor is meeting with folks, and he wants a full-up plan for 2022....to conduct Oktoberfest.
But he's blunt on this fact.....no one will get entry if they aren't tested or vaccinated.
My gut feeling, just on 'fear' alone, I'd expect the crowds to be 10 to 20 percent less than normal.
Then you take the problem of forcing everyone (probably even those vaccinated) to specially tested (probably some entry fee into the fest grounds of fifteen Euro to pay for this business). A massive security fence operation? More or less, with posted guards everywhere.
But I suspect the city revenue machine is desperate to make this work. A normal fest would turn around 1.5-billion Euro for the city/region. A lot of people would hint that their 'take' during each fest was almost 50-percent of their yearly income.
