GNTB campaign #DiscoverGermanyFromHome brings together current social media activities

The campaign includes virtual experiences of the destinations in Germany in all of the 16 federal states. The campaign therefore invites consumers to experience Destination Germany virtually and furthermore strengthens the communication with potential future Germany visitors. Besides #DiscoverGermanyFromHome the campaign also uses the hashtags that are currently circulating such as #staysafe, #stayathome or #traveltomorrow.    

“We are active despite the lockdown,” explains Petra Hedorfer, Chairwoman of the GNTB Executive Board, “with over 30 social media channels we are continuously trying to keep the interest in Destination Germany alive, inspiringly and informatively. Besides the direct consumer contact, we are also using our established online tools to maintain the active dialogue with our Germany tourism partners and the international tourism industry.”    

Due to the current situation, the GNTB has postponed all planned market specific and worldwide marketing campaigns such as the start of the planned campaign “German Summer Cities” and “#WanderlustGermany” to the second half of the year. The preparations for the campaigns have been completed to the extent that the digital parts of the campaigns can start at the flick of a switch.    

Depending on current developments in the various source markets recovery measures could be started with the beginning of the second half of the year, campaigns could be rescheduled and campaign contents could be rolled out and quickly adjusted if necessary.
