The German National Tourist Board (GNTB) is supporting the re-launch of the inspirational campaign ‘German.Local.Culture.’ to restart tourism. The campaign will be launched digitally as a cross-media inspiration.
Petra Hedorfer, Chief Executive Officer of German National Tourist Office said, “After two years of the Corona pandemic and against the backdrop of the terrible war in Ukraine, the tourism industry is facing major challenges. In this situation, it is important to send out a signal for peaceful tourism that brings people together and stands for openness to the world and tolerance.”
“The campaign ‘German.Local.Culture.’ conveys exactly this peaceful coexistence of generations, traditions, and different cultural influences. With the launch of the campaign, we are reflecting authentic, local experiences in urban destinations with the integration of rural areas and their sustainable tourism offers.”
“With countless travel events, the campaign also aims to promote Germany as a destination for longer for culturally interested travellers, families, and active vacationers in the source markets,” she informed.
“German.Local.Culture.’ will be launched digitally as a cross-media inspiration campaign based on the social first principle in important source markets for German incoming tourism digitally. The campaign will have a wide reach via programmatic advertising, social advertising, social media channels and influencer measures,” added Petra.
Talking on the occasion Romit Theophilus, Director for India, The German National Tourist Office said Germany as a travel destination offers a wealth of hidden treasures for Indian travellers. Picturesque Old Towns, urban city vitality, impressive industrial monuments, castles and palaces, romantic vineyards and unspoiled nature, there is so much to discover for Indians when travelling to Germany.”
“With the easing of restrictions, travellers can look forward to local festivals as well as vibrant life once again. Theophilus added, we look forward to welcoming you and your family for your next holiday in Germany,” he added.
