Berlin, January 2009 – February 6th, 2009 is the planned publication date of the new issue of REISEZEIT. Karstadt Warenhaus GmbH has entrusted Berlin marketing specialists Grafenstein with the relaunch of its customer magazine. Four times per year, REISEZEIT will invite readers on an entertaining journey to top destinations in Europe and around the globe. Large-format photography, gripping coverage and portraits of destinations as well as essential travel information transport the reader into a world full of adventure, interesting encounters or simply lazing in the sun. 



Berlin, November 2008 – Until Christmas, Grafenstein’s meeting room will be quite packed. The reason: This year, the Berlin agency acts as a collection point for the charity "Christmas in a shoe box". This is done in support of an initiative, which, since 1996, helps children in Eastern Europe to enjoy the festive season. "We have also decided to cut the amount of presents intended for our customers and instead pay for the postage as well," says Frank Grafenstein, Managing Director of the company.





Berlin, April 2008 – In the near future, the marketing department of the North-Sea branch of the state of Lower Saxony, Nordsee GmbH and Grafenstein will join forces. Starting from 2009, both tourist organisations will work together at refining a marketing strategy in order to raise the awareness of German consumers with regard to the North-German coastline as an attractive holiday resort.
Further information on the Malta Bus Game can be found in the corresponding 


The information material destined for the German market has so far been centrally managed in Budapest; now, the Hungarian Tourist Authority has commissioned Grafenstein with producing a customer magazine specially geared to the requirements of the German reader. “Due to this decision, Hungarian marketing in Germany will take great leaps forward,” says Maria Pap, Regional Director for Berlin and East Germany of the Hungarian Tourist Board. “This way, layout, structure and the choice of topics can be tailored 100 per cent around the interests of German holidaymakers.”

Berlin, September 2007 – Since August 31st, a new edition of the travel magazine for France, “Bon voyage – French highlights” has been available for the trade. With the special Autumn/Winter issue, the French Tourist Board, Maison de la France in conjunction with Grafenstein have extended the range of travel magazines entitled “Bon voyage”. “The intention was to provide German readers with fascinating photos and exciting features during the cold months of the year in order to create a passion for France and to introduce attractive destinations and travel offers,” editor-in-chief Nicolai Blank from Grafenstein explains.
Berlin, August 2007 - The 






During the Deutsche Post direct-mail competition, Grafenstein’s contribution proved successful against eleven competing entries in the category “open format”. The entries were judged in a total of five different categories according to the criteria concept/strategy, creative idea and realisation, target-oriented approach as well as effectiveness. The regional winners of each category will receive the seal of approval “Mailing-Partner of Deutsche Post” and are automatically entered in the final nationwide contest.
The programme contains a well-balanced mixture of information and entertainment: After the presentation of Viennese highlights for 2008 and the new film “Vienna Collections”, there will be a 45-minute dance workshop, where participants get the chance to practice the famous Viennese waltz. Following that, a buffet with Austrian specialities and a selection of wines from Vienna provides a welcome opportunity to exchange views. 


















The seven extensively introduced? regions of the country are the focus of the E-Learning that the Portuguese tourism board (ICEP Portugal) has brought into being. Additionally, modules relating to subjects such as “accommodation” and “journey and locomotion (?)” are in pre- paration. The tourist board sets (places) a high value on the fact that the knowledge should be imparted in a playful manner: Several games and videos create an easy atmosphere, a mascot leads through the programme.
With Grafenstein the Portuguese tourist board confides in (relies on) a creative expert in the field of E-Learning. The communications agency has already implemented a very successful E Learning-Project for the Maltese tourismt board. Since its introduction in (the year) 2003 the programme has been nominated for 2 prizes: the E-Learning award EureLea 2004 and the Willy-Scharnow prize 2004.


The acquisition team of Grafenstein can again announce an enjoyable addition (is happy to announce another addition: We welcome Thorsten Dzionara as a new member in our team.

The successful Malta E-learning programme was once again (being) nominated for the European E-Learning Award "EureLea": The Willy-Scharnow-Stiftung for Tourism nominated the learning programme for the Willy-Scharnow-Award 2004 (with) which each year honours special performance, innovative projects and consistent commitment in the field of education and further training (are acknowledged every year).
As one of three finalists, the Malta E-Learning has been nominated for the European E-Learning Award that will be awarded during the LEARNTEC (the European congress and trade fair for education and information technology) on 14 February 2005. The award is offered by the government of the Land Baden-Württemberg and will be assigned by an international jury for the Europe-wide most outstanding application of electronic and multi-media based study methods.
Uwe Heinelt (www.heinelt-comic.de), creator of Johnnie Valletti, the popular character mascot used in the Malta-Online-training, has kindly provided three copies of his latest comic "Berlin, Berlin: Frog Kings", made for the German cult-TV series "Berlin, Berlin" for a lottery drawing. To enter participate, simply send an email mentioning the word "Comic" to jm@grafenstein.net
At the beginning of 2005, the new "Malta Magazin" will be published instead of the Malta Salesguide. It differs from the Malta Salesguide by addressing both travel agents and consumers. It also introduces a revised concept with features, interviews and insider tips on Malta’s best-kept secrets. Among others, there will be a contribution on Malta-eLearning, a programme which, since October 2003, has provided training for more than 1800 travel agents on that holiday destination (www.malta-schulung.de).
On behalf of the Irish Tourist Board Tourism Ireland, Grafenstein Freizeit- und Tourismuswerbung GmbH has published a special-interest guide for the city of Dublin, aimed specifically at visiting couples of the same sex. The compact guide which fits into your back pocket contains a wealth of information regarding places to visit, plus shopping, activities, restaurants and gay-friendly hotels and clubs.
The advertising budget of VisitBritain goes to Berlin for the next three years. Grafenstein Freizeit- und Tourismuswerbung GmbH was put in charge of the 7 digit budget. From october on, throughout the integrated campaign city shorttrips will be specially promoted.
Coinciding with the "rentrée", the beginning of the French school term, is the launch of the new series of travel magazines Tours de France, which we have been producing for the French Maison de la France as well as for participating regional tourist offices. The issues "France", "Limousin", "Picardy", "Alsace", "Normandy" and "La Réunion", published in 2004, will be joined in 2005 by the edition "Provence, Southern Alps, Côte d’Azur".
Kleber PR Network is a full service and network agency specializing in customized communications solutions, and has been a member of the Tourism Network since early 2002. Kleber awaits your visit to its website, designed by Grafenstein Freizeit- und Tourismuswerbung GmbH:




The completely updated second edition of the Malta Sales Guide came right on time for the ITB 2004. It complements the successful Malta Online Seminar, which kicked off in October 2003. During the coming year MTA’s brochures Malta Holiday Hints” and Malta Sales Guide will be merged into the magazine Malta Holiday, aimed equally at consumers, agents and operators.
Grafenstein Freizeit- und Tourismuswerbung GmbH has responded to market demand with two new publications: a special edition of the Portugal magazine on Madeira, the Madeira Special, and the brochure Events, Incentives and Conventions in Portugal.
The third edition of the updated Portugal Sales Manual 2004/2005 came out right on time for this year’s ITB. ICEP sends it out on request, and it can also be found at all the major tourism fairs where Portugal is represented.
The hundred-page travel magazine France - Explore, Experience, Enjoy came out right on time for the opening of the ITB on 12 March 2004, rounding off this year’s Tours de France series. The six publications were launched by Thierry Baudier, director-general of Maison de la France, and Jean-Pierre Courteau, director of Maison de la France Deutschland, at a presentation at the French Embassy on 14 March with invited guests. Afterwards the successful cooperation was celebrated in fitting style at the Maison de la France party in the nearby Peugeot Avenue Showroom on Unter den Linden avenue.
Dusit Hotels & Resorts, one of Thailand’s largest hotel groups, was at the ITB in Berlin with its own booth. The commission to build the exhibition display was won by Terra Trends GmbH.
Deserted airports, empty hotel lobbies, abandoned cities, people wearing mouth protection: these shocking pictures flicker daily across our screens. Is it all just a hype - or will travelers indeed have to postpone their long-planned Asia trip? This doubts should be cleared up now! On an invitation of the marketing and communications experts of "The Tourism Network" more than 25 representatives of the affected businesses - including airlines, travel promoters and representatives of travel agencies - met in Frankfurt, to discuss concerted actions to
A great connoisseur and lover of all things French, Nicolai Blanck in countless journeys has come to know France like the back of his hand. His degree in French and history, which he studied in Germany and Aix-en-Provence, as well as his experience as a reader at the Berlin-based Propyläen publishing house make Nicolai Blanck the ideal project leader and editor of the new France magazines we will assemble for the Maison de la France from this year on.
Created by Terra trends in the context of the goasia campaign, this new Internet platform offers travellers to Asia all the information they need. The website went online on 1 July 2003 and addresses both consumers and travel agents.

Geoplan is a specialized travel agent focusing on destinations in Asia for whom we once again produced the 208-page catalogue Best of Asia 2003/2004.

As in the past two years, Grafenstein Freizeit- und Tourismuswerbung GmbH has prepared a new edition of the Ireland group planner. The colourful, lavishly illustrated brochure offers information on group tours in Ireland and contains all information required for selling group tours. This makes the planner an indispensable tool for every group tour operator.

After the Maison de la France entrusted us with assembling the Tours de France magazine covering the whole of France, five regional tourist authorities based in five French regions commissioned us to produce their brochures for the German market: Normandy, Picardy, La Réunion, Alsace and Limousin. While the main magazine will be issued in time for the ITB 2004, the five regional magazines will be available as early as January.
Our first project in an international collaboration reaching out beyond the German source market is the Great Britain Sales Guide for the Polish market. We rely on a firm basis of detail knowledge on the targeted markets and destinations in both countries, and an excellent relationship with partners in the Polish tourism industry. The British tourism authority has been consulting our services since 1999, the Polish tourism authority since 2000.
The new, modular trade fair system developed for GO ASIA will come into operation in the 2003/2004 season. Visit GO ASIA stands at the following locations:
