Public Relations

Through its traditional public relations work, the CIVD is an independent and expert contact for journalists and media representatives in the industry, and thus functions as an interface to the public. The Press (and Public Relations) Department supplies press representatives from other industries in particular with current figures and the latest information related to mobile leisure. The objective of the association's public relations work is to increase the general public’s understanding of caravanning as a form of tourism and leisure, and to familiarize it with the industry's products.

The CIVD continually supplies over 400 journalists from every media sector with information from the industry, thereby ensuring steady media coverage throughout the year about caravanning in the press, on radio and TV, and on the internet. 

The objective of CIVD’s PR work is not just the supply of facts and figures - it also aims to bring caravanning to life for journalists. A most suitable tool for this purpose is the annual Caravan SaloN Press Trip. In 2009 24 journalists from radio, TV and print media experienced the various possibilities of caravanning during a tour along the Polish Baltic Sea.
