WINTERS SPORTS & WINTER SUN PRESS EVENT
There won't be a better opportunity in the Dutch market to promote your region as a Winter sports or Wintersun destination than on our Meet the Dutch Travel press workshop.
For the past 8 years we have been organising an annual Winter sports press event. On this event participating national, regional and local tourist boards, tour operators, Dutch train and airline companies can promote their news, new connections, destinations, new developments, new hotels, new packages, resorts and more to the media. The day has become very popular with media as we do not limit the participants to just one country but allow a wide cross-section of European countries to participate.
This year we will be augmenting to the success of the press event by introducing a second segment on the day: Wintersun destinations. At the request of Dutch media, they asked us if we could also invite the main sun holiday destinations for Dutch tourists such as Turkey, Canaries, Greek islands, Gambia, Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt, Israel and other winter sun countries.
Media invited by us include national and regional newspapers, press agencies, consumer travel magazines, travel trade publications, websites, bloggers, freelancers, weekly and monthly glossies, womens magazines, and more.
The media event will take place in an appropiate location: the indoor skicentre Snowworld in Zoetermeer near the city of The Hague.
Date: Thursday 5 September 2023
Time: 14.00-18.00pm
Cost: 750 euro (ex 21% VAT)*
This date had been chosen for a particular reason. The summer holidays have finished so everybody is back to work and it allows journalists to start planning their editorial choices in time. Lots of media complain that they are receiving information far too late plus more importantly: they just do not have the time anymore to visit the hundred-and-one press workshops that are organised in Holland.
Our approach is different as we invite and allow participants from all over Europe and beyond to participate, which is far more practical and efficient for media than when one national tourist board is organising its own media event as the participants will in that case be from one country only.
Says Florien van Rees, editor of the travel supplement of Holland's national newspaper Algemeen Dagblad: 'I only visit media events where I can meet a great variety of destinations and travel organisations. I simply cannot spare the time anymore to go to the multitude of media workshops which are organised by just one country or just one region.'
