NEW SALES DRIVE FOR GREENLAND ABROAD
The Greenland Government and four large companies join in efforts to promote Greenland, Greenlandic goods and tourism in a new, huge sales drive abroad. The official start takes place in England in April where press and business contacts are invited to a large arrangement about Greenland.
In 2004/2005 the Government of Greenland defined an export promotion strategy for Greenland and subsequently a panel was established to look at the possibility of branding Greenland abroad. In addition to official representatives, the panel consists of people responsible for marketing from Air Greenland, KNI, Royal Greenland and Greenland Tourism and Business Council.
”The aim of international branding is to ensure positive associations and expectations to Greenland abroad when the word “Greenland” comes up”, says Minister for Finances and Foreign Affairs, Josef Motzfeldt, and he continues:
”Branding Greenland is important to the national economy and important to manifest Greenland as an international partner. It is also an opportunity for government and business to join forces to shoulder a heavy burden for the benefit of other businesses in Greenland, for the entire market in Greenland and for the people of Greenland.”
