VISIT EUROPE NEW COMMUNICATION STRATEGY |
IN RESPONSE TO TOURISM CRISIS |
Press Conference |

12.30 pm Tuesday 4th November at World Travel Market,
Platinum Suite 6 (Press Centre) EXCEL London

The European Travel Commission, with the support of the European Commission, has stepped up its efforts to promote Europe as a destination. Research conducted by the ETC reveals that traditional, one-way communication is rapidly losing its effectiveness in the face of digitally sophisticated consumers.
The ETC is innovating the way Europe presents itself on the Internet by switching to a new marketing approach, where experiences and stories focussed on specific consumer interests are at the heart of its promotional activities.

What does the current digital traveller look like?
What makes a great story?
How can the online travel ecosystem be tackled?
What does the new inspirational platform offer?

The ETC will answer these questions and unveil the new VisitEurope.com portal at the press conference where speakers will include:
