BY PETER JOHNSON

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).
