A sign on a traditional East German Plattenbau shows the way to the Ostel, a no-frills hotel that specializes in retro communist-era East German furnishings in Berlin, Thursday, Sept. 20, 2007. Berlin Tourism Marketing research shows that between January and July of 2007, the number of overnight stays in Berlin increased by 11.4 percent compared with the year before. Forty percent of these visitors are younger than 35-years-old, a group particularly sensitive to budget and trends.
