With the slogan ‘Share our smile’, Flanders aims to attract more tourists to the region in the coming months. The campaign is targeted specifically at countries that have not issued a travel warning for Belgium. Flemish tourism minister Ben Weyts would like to see the campaign extended to Brussels and Wallonia, writes De Standaard.
“We’ve seen a lot of different campaigns launched recently, all with different messages. It was immediately apparent that Flanders should do something, too, which we did quietly in consultation with the tourism industry.”
The result will be rolled out gradually over the next few months, starting already in May with a promotional campaign for train travel to Flanders from neighbouring countries. In June, when Brussels Airport is back up to capacity, air travel will also be promoted.
