After VisitDenmark's successful marketing event during the Olympic Games in London in 2012, VisitDenmark and the Ministry of Industry, Business and Financial Affairs took initiative to create a global showcase for Denmark during one of the world’s most visible events – The Olympic Games. As the only country in the world, Denmark managed to get permission to place a pavilion on the famous Ipanema Beach in Rio de Janeiro during the 2016 Olympics.
