European City Breaks Press Event 2016
Promote your city, airline, hotel chain, railway or coach company or travel gear brand directly to the travel press at the 'European City Breaks Press Event'.
At this event, participating city tourist boards and other relevant travel organisations can promote their destination or product to travel press and bloggers. You will have your own table for face-to-face talks with journalists and bloggers so you can discuss in detail all the novelties and news of your destination, brand or product. Inform them about new sights and attractions, trends, connections, campaigns, theme years and more. In addition to European cities, we also welcome intercontinental destinations that have a strong city break connection on the Dutch market such as Istanbul, New York, Dubai and Marrakesh.

Successful concept
This thematic event is an initiative of us. Media here in Holland are inundated with invitations for press workshops by hundred-and-one-companies. Gone are the days that they had the time to visit each of them. In today’s changing media scene where editorial departments are short-staffed journalists simply do not have the time anymore to visit each workshop. Our set-up is different! In just one afternoon we present them with the popular holiday segment city breaks - and great deal of relevant participants. It is an ideal opportunity for the travel press to meet a great deal of tourist offices and other relevant parties in just one day in one location. They love this set-up as they can gather information on a multitude of companies and destinations. That’s why the previous four editions we had many many media visiting the workshop. The first City Breaks Press event was organised by us in 2010.
