Bonn, Aug. 15. West Germany is going all out this year to make things easier for tourists.
The removal of some of the irksome border formalities is good for business-and travel agencies confidently forecast that they will beat last year's record of at least 7,500,000 nights by foreigners, who spent about 1,000,000,000 marks (about £83,000,000 sterling).
