[BERLIN] Berlin, Europe's fastest-growing tourist destination, is taking a page from Dubai as it expands retail for the hordes of visitors.

The Mall of Berlin, a 270-store complex opening in the city centre on Thursday, gives the growing numbers of tourists who visit the German capital a new place to spend their money. Within a year, it's set to become the country's largest shopping centre as 30 per cent more space is added.

"It's not really a mall, but a whole new city quarter," said Andreas Kogge at Jones Lang LaSalle. "The malls on the edge of the city will certainly suffer."
