TESTIMONIALS

Mr Nicolas Martin, Executive Director Bordeaux Tourism:

              ”The year was exceptional in terms of tourism growth with an increase of 10.7% in international
              arrivals in Bordeaux Merignac Airport (source GDS / Forward Keys) or of 12.26% in hotels pro-
              gression of Revenue per room (RevPar) for all categories (source MKG). Most nationalities are
              increasing, especially this year European travellers (British, Spanish, German, Swiss, Belgian, Italian
              ...). It is undeniable that the fact of being elected European Best Destination 2015 has contributed
              to this result, press fallouts after winning this title have been global and massive“.

Mrs Darja Jurbazic, Zagreb Tourism Board:

              “The promotion of Zagreb with EBD team has given us a great opportunity to increase appeal of
              Zagreb as Croatia's capital and foster its visibility. The emphasis which EBD puts on city market-
              ing and promotion is very valuable to us. We enjoyed a + 41% growth of overnight stays after
              winning the EBD contest”.

Mr Ante Galic – Zadar Tourist Board:

                  "The year that we have been awarded "European Best Destination" we have had a record
                  growth of +13% in overnight stays, when our yearly growth for many decades was of 6%.
                  During this special year we reached a new administrative record of 447,925 arrivals and
                  1,721,928 overnight stays".

Mr Emmanuel Fromm, Colmar Tourist Board:

               "Our collaboration with European Best Destinations has undeniably brought us an excellent com-
                 plement of visibility and notoriety. EBD is one of the few organizations whose credibility is
                 systematically repeated many times by the media as soon as our destination is quoted.. We hope
                to be able to count on their support for a long time!".
