19 Apr Germany Tourism Board Annual Media Event in Croatia
The regional office of the German National Tourist Board in partnership with Lufthansa Group during the gathering for the media organized by magic4.club, on Thursday 7th of April in the Restaurant “Pri Zvoncu” in Zagreb presented the thematic campaign for 2016 “Wonderful vacation in the heart of nature in Germany”, as the leading theme of all marketing activities in 2016. At the gathering we hosted around 35 journalists whose work greatly contributes to the development of the culture of traveling in Croatia.
Welcome speech was given by Thomas E. Schultze, German Ambassador in Croatia while the annual theme of Germany promotion was presented by Tijana Djuricic, PR manager of the Regional Office of the German National Tourist Board for Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Montenegro, Romania and Serbia. Surrounded by greenery, in an rural and idyllic restaurant “Pri Zvoncu”, and with tasting a great local food, media representatives had the opportunity at least to shortly move away from the city noise and feel the atmosphere similar to the one that is offered by rural regions of Germany.
