EU hledá agenturu na propagaci výjimečných turistických destinací

Tendr: Zvyšování povědomí a propagace turistických destinací EDEN (European Destinations of Excellence)

Zadavatel: Výkonná agentura pro malé a střední podniky, Brussels – BE

Kontrakt na 18 měsíců

Budget €1.350.000

Deadline pro odevzdání nabídke: 21/11

Stručný popis: Půjde o vývoj a realizaci celoevropské informační a propagační kampaně pro iniciativu Evropské komise EDEN. Cílem iniciativy je podporovat udržitelné modely správy destinací v oblasti cestovního ruchu v celé Evropě prostřednictvím výběru a podpory evropských destinací excelence.

Iniciativa má „upozornit na hodnotu, rozmanitost a společné charakteristiky evropských turistických destinací a propagovat destinace, kde je cíl hospodářského růstu sledován tak, aby byla zajištěna sociální, kulturní a environmentální udržitelnost cestovního ruchu“.

Evropská komise zahájila iniciativu EDEN v roce 2006 jako pilotní projekt a pokračovala v jejím provádění v podobě přípravné akce až do roku 2011. Od roku 2011 je iniciativa EDEN organizována prostřednictvím dvou typů výzev k předkládání nabídek určených všem členským státům EU a dalším zemím, které se účastní programu EIP/COSME. Ročně se na iniciativě EDEN podílí v průměru 20 zemí COSME.

Česko je členem (např. v roce 2017 vyhrály v kategorii “Cultural Tourism” zámky na řece Orlici – na fotce Zámek Doudleby), Slovensko bohužel ne.

Tasks: to meet the objectives mentioned in section 1.3, the contractor will perform; as a minimum, the following tasks: 

1. design and implement a coherent communication strategy (set of communication and promotion actions) in order to raise awareness of the EDEN concept and increase the visibility of the EDEN destinations awarded in 2007-2017 (winners and runners-up);

2. design and implement the most cost-efficient and cost-effective 18 months awareness raising and communication campaign using the most appropriate, creative and attractive promotional messages, media forms and dissemination channels for different target audiences;

3. group all the EDEN destinations by several themes to be promoted and identify the relevant target audiences for each of the theme (families with small children, youth, senior/retired travellers, adventurers), 

4. define and list sub target groups with highest relevance and potential to the campaign (taking into account geographic, as well as demographic and socio-economic factors) and adapt the content and the channels used to these groups. When targeting local audiences, local languages should be used by experts with specific language knowledge.  

5. implement the social media analysis based on media consumption of target audiences to select the most relevant social media channels to maximise the impact of the social media advertising and promotion;

6. create a visual identity integrating the existing EDEN logo in compliance with the EC requirements; 

7. measure generated behavioural impacts of the campaign on target audience: 

a. For the first level of such behavioural impacts (i.e. perception change) run at least two surveys among target audience – one before the campaign starts, so called base-line survey, and one after (optionally one half-way through). All these surveys must feature the same questions and can therefore measure an opinion shift (if any) during the campaign. 

b. For the second level of behavioural impact (actions – from preliminary ones like finding more information, to the actual visit of the destination) – put in place methods and tools to be able to measure this level of impact as much as possible. Examples of metrics to measure include: increased number of visits to the website of the EDEN destinations, enquiries by telephone or email, bookings, number of visits to the destination(s)…). All the selected metrics have to be compared before, during and after the campaign. 

8. provide advice on checking the number of visits and revamping, as necessary, the EDEN page on Europa website http://ec.europa.eu/eden  to make it more user friendly, in compliance with the EC requirements9.

9. prepare interim and final reports describing the implementation of the campaign and summarising the results;

10. perform an ex-post evaluation of the communication activities that are part of this contract. The contractor shall fill the ex-post evaluation form of DG GROW external communication activities and return it to the contracting authority within one month of completion of the communication activity.
