Description
How to attract more young people into tourism professions? Due to the chronic shortage of staff in the industry, the Slovenian Tourist Board decided to launch the 'I Create Experiences' the campaign, highlighting the positive aspects of tourism professions. Creatim created a website where the relevant information is conveyed through real-life stories of young people pursuing careers in tourism.
Client
Slovenian Tourist Organization aimed to counteract the bad reputation of tourism jobs by accentuating the positive aspects such as personal growth, international experience, friendships, and the impact on the development of the local community and the co-creation of sustainable actions. In tourism, each individual contributes to the quality of the service and leaves their mark, which is particularly important for Generation Z.
