The young guests proudly carry around the prizes they have won and promotional items such as drinking bottles, lanyards and balloons.

They all stop at the campers, cars, bicycles and motorbikes and marvel at the latest models. In direct conversations with the sales advisors, they receive individual information about the vehicles, but also, for example, about funding opportunities for electric cars.
