Trinidad & Tobago

Forming the south gate of the Caribbean the sister islands of the small Antilles are situated about 11 Km from the coast of Venezuela. Due to average temperatures of 29° Celsius a breathtaking flora and fauna can be found. Trinidad & Tobago are situated outside of the Hurricane-belt and can be travelled to at any time of the year.

The islands offer many extraordinary events and attractions such as the famous Carnival of the Caribbean on Trinidad, the ‘Crab & Goat Race’ at Easter, the ‘Underwater Carnival’ and the ‘Culinary Festival’ in May on Tobago, and the Parang in November. This variety of happenings is a result of the very multicultural population. 41% of the population is of African and Indian descent and about 16% are mongrels.

Shortly after the agency had been founded, Trinidad & Tobago became loyal clients of the BSG and for nearly 15 years we have been conducting marketing actions for them, such as flyers, conceptions of brochures with renowned tour operators, press releases and representations at tourism fairs.

Once a month we publish a newsletter, including events, travel specials, tasteful Caribbean recipes or secret tips, which we send to all consumers and trade interested in Trinidad & Tobago.

In 2009 ‘touristik aktuell’, one of the German leading tourism magazines, nominated our roadshow around Germany the third best of the year. In 2010 we got even better and our roadshow including music, entertainment and information, won the golden medal as the best one.

Montserrat

The glowing emerald of the Caribbean. Breathtaking, natural and one of the most spectacular islands of the Caribbean Sea.

After a break of over 400 years the volcano Soufrière Hills destroyed about 2/3 of the island in the year 1995. As a result the capital Plymouth was buried under rubbles and ash and resembles nowadays a modern Pompeii. As a consequence the south of the island is now a prohibited area and a new capital is arising in the north west part of the island, in Little Bay.

Inhabitants of the green island have turned the volcano eruption into something positive for the tourism industry. The island offers the opportunity to book guided tours of the Soufrière Hills and a half marathon takes place around the volcano in November. Away from mass tourism the island also offers great opportunities for fishing, diving, beach holidays and wedding events.

Since the year 2000 we regularly send out press releases about events taking place, any news, and also a regular newsletter that gets sent out to all friends of Montserrat, in order to keep the German speaking markets up to date.

Further information about getting there, arrival, accommodation and culinary highlights can be found under www.visitmontserrat.de.

Z-Travel

Mali is situated in the middle of West Africa between Algeria in the north, Senegal and Mauritania in the west, Guinea and Ivory Coast in the south and Burkina Faso and Niger in the east.

Mali offers breathtaking scenery and impressive wildlife that can be found all around the lifeline of the country, the river Niger. Right through desert in the north, thorn bush savannah and wet savannah in the Mopti region, Mali offers an immense variety of landscapes and vegetation. The country also offers great architecture – including builds and sights that are part of UNESCO’s cultural heritage.

Seen as the agency was unknown to the German market we started working with Z-Travel Mali in 2009. Throughout our successful cooperation we developed a corporate identity and a design for them. We developed the logo and a homepage destined at the German market for which we produced the texts.

We can observe increasing numbers of visitors since the launch of the website: www.ztavel-mali.de

Learn2Travel.de

Seeing that travel agents and tour operators play an essential part in selling tourism destinations, especially in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, we have developed an e-learning platform destined to German speaking professionals of the tourism industry who promote and sell destinations on the German speaking markets. Learn2travel.de is an online platform providing access to e-learnings of destinations as well as other service providers in the field of tourism. The tourism expert only needs to register once and has then access to over 30 destinations’ e-learnings.

Whilst developing L2T our team paid great attention to make the e-learning platform as user friendly as possible to enable travel agents to quickly and efficiently get to grips with new themes and knowledge. Online trainings can be carried out at own pace and goals of achievement get set by each user individually.

The platform has been re-launched in November 2010 and has many active users who continuously gain expertise in destination knowledge. Each month the platform grows by about 37% new registrations and by 60% recurring users.

A monthly newsletter informs all registered users about new e-learnings that are available on L2T, sweepstakes, and cooperation representations.
