Food exporters and VisitDenmark in unique, coordinated collaboration to promote Danish food experiences for the benefit of both tourism and food exporters.

Danish Michelin restaurants have achieved a high level of international recognition. As a follow-up, in 2021 (delayed due to Covid-19) the partners launched a digital campaign on the German market focusing on the many other Danish food experiences. The aim was to attract more food and gastro-tourists to the whole of Denmark and to increase general awareness of high-quality Danish food.

Eleven videos tell unique stories about local produce and enthusiasts from selected destinations across Denmark. The marketing efforts were complemented by a successful press campaign aimed at the international press.
