#ExploreMyRegion – Our support for the local tourism industry

Slowly restrictions are being eased, but the lack of freedom to move and travel is nonetheless affecting the tourism industry worldwide. Guests are either still bound to lockdowns or limited to their close surroundings, looking for ways to go beyond their four walls and explore what’s close to home. 

As a reliable partner presenting Europe’s largest outdoor platform, we feel committed to help you, your guests and the tourism industry on a fast track back to normality. 

How? With our campaign #ExploreMyRegion, we show support to all the actors of tourism and especially push local tourism back to normality.

Your guests were able to enjoy your destination for the past years and experience the welcoming embrace of your local actors. It might have been unconsciously, but each one of them played a main role in the creation of the guests unforgettable travel experiences. We want to bring attention to these silent actors by addressing the guests and opening their eyes to the current situation, highlighting the message: you don’t have to travel far to experience adventure. 

Now it is their time to give back and support those who make their adventures so memorable. Let them know you are in as well and read further on how you can join the already more than 100 participating organizations! At this point we want to thank all of you, who are already participating and supporting us with their logo and their great feedback.
