THE IDEAL STARTING POINT
For the names building their international base — reaching Germany and the Netherlands, Austria's two largest foreign winter markets, through features prepared by PrimePressQ and published in Rheinische Post / RP Online and Marie Claire Netherlands.
No other two markets bring more winter guests across the border — this is where Austrian tourism's foreign demand actually comes from.

Publication Profile
Beyond the Publications
What does participation actually create?
-
An Austrian winter is booked early — flights, rooms and tables are settled while the leaves are still on the trees. Each feature in this series appears in front of readers in the Netherlands, the United States, Italy and the United Kingdom during that window: while the decision is still open, not after it's made.
-
Your own channels can say anything; that's exactly why they persuade less. A feature prepared by PrimePressQ and published in Marie Claire Netherlands, USA Today, Rolling Stone Italia or The Independent carries the standing of the title it appears in. Readers meet you inside a publication they already trust, in their own language
-
Published features live on the publications' own platforms — pages that rank when someone searches an Austrian winter in Dutch, English or Italian. Your name appears in the results those travellers actually read, on titles search engines already treat as authoritative.
-
The way travellers plan is changing. A growing number now ask AI assistants where to stay, where to eat and what to see, and take the answers as a starting shortlist. Those tools do not invent their recommendations — they draw on trusted, published sources across the open web. A brand featured in leading international titles is far more likely to be part of the material those systems reference, and so more likely to appear when a traveller asks. It is one of the few ways to build presence inside a channel that barely existed a few years ago and is growing quickly.
-
The series is not a single piece of coverage repeated in four places. Each market reads its own feature, written specifically for it — the reference points, the framing and the emphasis shift to suit an American, Dutch, British or Italian reader. Together they form a coordinated international profile rather than a scattered set of mentions, reaching four of Austria’s source markets in a single campaign. It is the difference between being seen once and being recognised across the markets that matters most to a destination.
-
A standard advertising campaign ends the day the budget runs out; this does not. Once published, the feature stays live and becomes something a property owns and can use, linked from its own website, cited in sales and partner conversations, and referenced wherever credibility needs to be established quickly. Its value compounds rather than fades: the same feature that reaches a traveller at launch continues to reassure the next one a year later. It is an investment in a lasting reference point, not a moment of visibility that vanishes once attention moves on.
