One more year in a row, the tourism offer of the Danube region is presented at the world leading travel trade show – ITB Berlin 2017 from March 8-12, 2017.

The Danube Competence Center had a stand in Hall 1.1 and the theme for 2017 stand branding was Cultural Heritage along the Danube.

Besides our own materials, on the stand we promoted the offer of more than 20 members and partners including most of the key players in the Danube region – DZT / Deutsche Donau, ARGE Donau Österreich, Bratislava Region Tourism, Hungary Tourism Agency, National Tourism organisation of Serbia, Tourism organisation of Belgrade, Tourism organisation of Vojvodina, Mehedinti County, Ministry of Tourism of the Republic of Bulgaria, Tourism Agency of the Republic of Moldova and Department of Culture and Tourism of the Odessa City Council. Also, as a national coordinator for Eurovelo for Serbia we have presented the newly published Eurovelo maps.

The focus at the stand was on the recently published brochure “A Day on the Danube – Culinary Culture” which provides information about authentic, local products from the Danube region as well as a list of recipes which conjure up the atmosphere of a trip on the Danube in one’s own four walls. The brochure was developed in cooperation with German National Tourist Board, Hungarian Tourism Agency, National Tourism Organisation of Serbia, Tourism Agency of the Republic of Moldova and Department of Culture and Tourism of the Odessa City Council.

Also, for the sixth year in a row, a comprehensive package of promotional and networking activities related to the second largest European river at the International Tourism Fair Berlin (ITB), called “Danube@ITB“ was organised in cooperation with six organisations – German National Tourist Board, Hungarian Tourism Agency, National Tourism Organisation of Serbia, Ministry of Tourism of the Republic of Bulgaria, Tourism Agency of the Republic of Moldova and Department of Culture and Tourism of the Odessa City Council. This set of activities promoted the touristic offer of the Danube and creates a joint platform for increased cooperation between partners from the Danube region.
