Numerous promotional activities have had a positive impact on the image of the City of Poznań as a city of tourist and business interest.
Tourism fairs and events
Apart from organised events, the tourist offer of Poznań was promoted by the PLTO at foreign and domestic tourist fairs and tourist events, including:
- Berlin (ITB Berlin – International Travel Trade Show)
- Tokyo (JATA Tourism EXPO Japan)
- London (London City Fair)
- Frankfurt (IMEX)
- Poznań (Tour Salon Fair of Regions and Tourist Products).
Poznań’s participation in the Polish delegation in workshops with the Israeli tourist industry contributed to the launch of a new, direct air connection between Poznań and Tel Aviv.
Study visits
The development of tourism in Poznań is facilitated by study and press visits organised by the PLTO for journalists, bloggers and representatives of the tourism industry. In 2017 Poznań was visited by journalists and tour operators from all over the world: Poland, China, Denmark, Spain, India, Israel, Japan, Canada, Ukraine, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The result of these activities includes blog entries, press materials, promotional videos showing the tourist values of Poznań or closer contacts between tour operators from the countries mentioned above.
