Linz09 made another of its many appearances abroad this week. Host city was Cologne.
Together with the Linz City Tourist Board and Blue Danube Airport, Linz09 held a briefing about the Capital of Culture year including a rundown of the program’s focal-point themes. The Upper Austrian delegation is cooperating with KölnTourismus to increase travel between the two regions. In the campaign to raise Linz’s profile as a tourism destination in this part of Germany, one excellent sales angle is Cologne’s close proximity to the Ruhr District, which will be Capital of Culture region in 2010.
