About this file

The document is a Request for Proposal (RFP) BPM006069 issued by the Arizona Office of Tourism for Media Relations and Travel Trade/Consumer Marketing Services in Germany. The RFP includes an Attachment 10 – References, which provides detailed information about three client references: Great Lakes USA, Travel Michigan, and Tourism Nova Scotia. These references demonstrate the vendor's experience in providing representation services across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

The referenced services consistently involve full-service contracts including trade marketing, PR, social media, events, and consumer marketing from 2000-2024. Each reference highlights long-term, ongoing relationships with successful outcomes, such as Travel Michigan ranking Germany as its third-biggest international market in 2023, and Tourism Nova Scotia developing direct flights from Frankfurt to Halifax. The contracts have been renewed multiple times, including through the COVID-19 pandemic, and showcase the vendor's ability to maintain and expand tourism marketing efforts in German-speaking markets across multiple destinations and clients.
