“Bratislava needs strong promotion,” Melicharová said. “We were searching for the right form and decided to do so via these world-known personalities”
The campaign will be launched on social networks and at underground stations, airports and important international bus and rail hubs.
The board wants to communicate historical monuments, design and smart solutions that are important to Bratislava through people such as Albert Einstein. Maria Theresa was crowned in Bratislava 276 years ago. Pope John Paul II, who visited Bratislava a couple of times, will represent the proximity of Bratislava and its residents to the spirit of nature, coherence and sport, which unite people and create unrepeatable moments, Melicharová said, as cited by TASR.
Bratislava’s annual coronation ceremony, at which the coronations of kings and queens of the Kingdom of Hungary are re-enacted, should be boosted into more of a tourist attraction, showing that the Slovak capital is proud of its rich history.
1.2 million tourists visited Bratislava in last year, an increase of over 15 percent from the previous year, when the one million limit was exceeded for the first time.
“We want to outdo these figures,” Bratislava mayor Ivo Nesrovnal told media. “The first estimates indicate that we might succeed. This is thanks to the fact that Bratislava makes investments in cleaning, restoring monuments and reconstructing roads, so that tourists won’t come here just for a few hours but will spend a longer time here and then return.”

Baku is visited by more than 2.5 million tourists yearly. and Azerbaijan’s capital city had the world’s attention with hosting the Eurovision Song Contest, First European Games, Formula 1 race and now 4th Islamic Solidarity Games, the www.azernews.az website reported.
Azerbaijan can accommodate some 40,000 tourists in its 535 hotels, which include a series of luxury hotels – Excelsior, Hilton, Four Seasons, Fairmont, JW Marriott, Kempinski – as well as several budget hotels for cost-conscious travelers.
And, 25 hostels and 92 apartments for tourists operate in Baku. Rent of private apartments is gaining popularity and for some this is the best way to spend vacation in Azerbaijan.
Muzaffar Agakarimov, the adviser of the Chairman of Azerbaijani Tourism Association AzTA noted that more and more tourists rent private houses in the country.
Local residents lease out houses both in the center of Baku and on the outskirts of the city, according to him.
The expert noted the need to build new hotels in Azerbaijan. “The number of tourists visiting Azerbaijan is growing, so there is a need for new hotels,” he said.
As many as 146 of the hotels are located in Baku and Absheron peninsula, Agakarimov said. In addition, some 25 hostels and 92 apartments for tourists operate in Baku, he said adding that all these facilities are private.
Bulks of the hotels located in the country are 5-3 stars, which sometimes creates inconvenience for low-budget tourists.
Tourism in Azerbaijan has a thousand-year tradition. To make sure it is enough to remember the Great Silk Road, which contributed to not only commercial, but also cultural exchange. A special surge of interest in the country located on the Caspian Sea shore, however, arose during the era of hydrocarbon resources.
Situated on the Great Silk Road, and divided partially between Eastern Europe and Western Asia, Azerbaijan blended the best from both cultures, forming its own unique rich culture, that’s why its people are neither totally Eastern, nor totally Western.

I år markerer Icelandair sitt 80-års jubileum, og feiringen skjer på vulkansk vis – selvsagt, skriver travelnews.no
Et Boeing 757-200 er omgjort til en flyvende utgave av ikke bare Islands, men Europas største isbre Vatnajökull.
Icelandairs fly er alle oppkalt etter islandske vulkaner, og i 2015 ble Hekla Aurora skapt etter inspirasjon fra vulkanen Hekla og nordlyset. Det er samme kunstnere som står bak forvandlingen til Vatnajökull og prosessen er ganske usedvanlig og komplisert, da dekoreringen er gjort for hånd, skriver nettstedet.
25 personer har brukt over tre uker og 195 liter maling for å gjengi isbreen, 1.062 liter i alt for å dekke hele flyet. Kabinen holdes i is- og vannfarger, kabinlyset er i blått og nakkestøtter, matvogner og servietter er dekorert for å gi en så autentisk opplevelse som mulig.
