European Travel Commission Strengthens its Online Marketing Team

The Executive Director of the European Travel Commission (ETC), Rob Franklin OBE, announced in Brussels the appointment of Nick Hall as the new ETC Web Administrator to support Karine Bruere, the ETC Online Marketing Manager of the prestigious European tourism portal visiteurope.com.

A native of England, Nick Hall previously worked in UK local government, as well as for a number of organizations including HUBSolutions, TUIfly and iPod Traveler Podcast.

He was also employed by Guardian Newspapers as a Guardian Netjetter, selected by the newspaper readers to travel to every corner of Europe and to write about his experiences.

Financed under the European Commission’s IDA Program, this web portal for Europe has been providing a unique access point to all national tourism information websites and makes available multiple cross-country travel information.

Its aim continues to be to create a major online resource featuring Europe as the most attractive destination for visitors from overseas and Europe alike, and offering access to vast information content.

The European Commission transferred management and operation of the portal to ETC in March 2006, at which point ETC also became responsible for its future financial sustainability.
