Under the slogan “Vacation Right Next Door – Discover Your Region,” Hannover Marketing und Tourismus GmbH (HMTG) is launching its campaign today, featuring day trip destinations, events, and tour recommendations in the Hannover vacation region. You don’t have to travel far for the perfect getaway: Just a stone’s throw away, the Steinhuder Meer, the Deister hills, the Horse Region, and Marienburg invite you to enjoy exciting experiences. The months from June through September, in particular, offer a variety of events—many of them outdoors.

Regional President Hauke Jagau commented: “The Hannover Region has so much to offer in terms of quality of life: beautiful landscapes and gardens, wonderful cultural institutions, and great recreational opportunities. And everything is easily accessible by bus, train, or bike. Anyone who spends their vacation here has plenty of opportunities to discover new things, even if they live here.”

With the state capital at its heart and small towns and villages dotting the surrounding area, the Hanover region offers a wide range of opportunities to make your vacation both exciting and relaxing. Whether it’s theater performances, city festivals, sporting events, or concerts in unusual venues—the calendar of events is packed.

The summer special “Vacation Right Next Door” is included with the June issue of *Stadtkind Hannover* magazine. If you’re not one of the approximately 10,000 *Stadtkind* readers, you can pick up the 32-page brochure for free starting June 1 at the Tourist Information office at Ernst-August-Platz 8. To complement this, posters featuring striking photos draw attention to the vacation region and its events—on a total of 115 large billboards in Hildesheim, Braunschweig, Lüneburg, and Göttingen, as well as on 20 full-height columns in Hannover.

Hans Christian Nolte, managing director of HMTG, is looking forward to the coming months in the vacation region: “There’s so much to discover that ‘boredom’ is truly a foreign concept in the Hanover region. So here’s my tip: check the calendar of events, pack a picnic blanket, and let the open-air fun begin.”

The trend in the number of overnight stays also supports this assessment. In 2017, the Hannover region surpassed the 4-million mark for the first time. Over the past 10 years, the Hannover region has even recorded growth of over 32% (comparing 2008 to 2018). This figure does not include the approximately 53 million day visitors annually, who make up the largest market segment. As a result, tourism generates billions in revenue for service providers and is one of the most profitable economic factors in the Hannover region. In addition to retailers, the hospitality industry, tourism-related facilities, and the transportation sector benefit in particular. (Source: dwif)
