A similar visual identity has been successfully used to promote ITB Berlin for the last two years.

Designed by Berlin-based creative house, Heymann Brandt de Gelmini, the look was adapted for ITB Asia by the use of a Eurasian (Japanese-German) model with 10 Asian travel icons positioned in her hair, which is styled to represent the tropical rain forests of Asia. The model is also wearing a Chinese qipao dress.

“Inspiration is the central proposition,” said Dr Martin Buck (pictured right), director of Messe Berlin (Singapore), which organises ITB Asia. “The imagery is evocative and inspires people to think about travel to and within Asia.”

To celebrate the new look, Messe Berlin (Singapore) has launched a competition offering 50 trade visitor passes for the next ITB Asia, 19-21 October 2011 in Singapore.

The tickets, worth US$100 each, will go to the first 50 travel industry professionals who complete the list of Asian attractions featured in the girl’s hair.
