On Thursday, 9 March 2017, the EUROPETOUR team represented by our project partners from Austria & Germany, Elena Paschinger & Karin Drda-Kühn, will host their second press conference as part of the European Conference of working with Best Agers in tourism.

Read on & register here.

The press conference will focus on progress made by the EUROPETOUR team in the first one and a half years of the project, including the results from the EUROPETOUR survey, the analysis report as well as the development of training modules for stakeholders in cultural tourism, as well as the Social Media Guidelines due for publication later in the spring.

It starts at precisely 11.30 a.m. on 9 March, 2017, at the Brandenburg Restaurant, Halle 24 (1st floor), Messedamm 22, D-14055 Berlin, and will be followed by a nice get-together over lunch at the restaurant.

Mr Hermann Paschinger, managing director of EUROPETOUR partner Kreativ Reisen Österreich as well as the 50plus Hotels, will open the conference, followed by a talk of Bente Grimm, project manager of the Research Institute for Tourism in Northern Europe (NIT). Together, Elena Paschinger and Karin Drda-Kühn will then inform about the most recent developments of the EUROPETOUR project.

what we expect from joining ITB this year

Of course, ITB always provides a welcome opportunity to stay up-to-date with the most recent developments and trends in cultural tourism worldwide, and we hope to receive a lot of inspiration from other destinations and relevant experts.

We will also communicate our EUROPETOUR survey results, training modules and Social Media Guidelines for cultural tourism in rural areas, for which we would like to find a publishing partner interested in editing a printed version of both.

Do you happen to have any tips and recommendations for us?

Thank you so much and see you in Berlin!
