According to a report by dentsu, 71 % of users consider Instagram, TikTok or YouTube to be new search engines. The trend is very strong among young people (86 % in 18-29 years old, 78 % in 30-44 years old), but it also impacts seniors with 65 % among 45-54 years old 👀 At #Civitatis, we are fully aware of this. Therefore, our new advertising campaign, launched a month ago, directly attacks this insight and invites consumers who are inspired by social media to make their expectations come true with our 90,000 tours and activities around the world. In this article, published by elDiario.es, we mention some of the destinations that are hitting the hardest on social media this summer 📱 So... What do we do with all this #hype? 😉

We know how to lead the category of tours and activities in Spain and LATAM. We know how to fill the journey of millions of customers around the world. But we also know how to have fun! 😎 We have welcomed European summer with a great party in true #Civitatis style. We have a lot to celebrate for what we have achieved in the first half of the year, but above all, we are excited to celebrate everything that is coming in the second half of 2024. Let's go for it! 🚀

We continue to expand our leadership in the tours and activities category. This time, we are doing so through a major #B2B agreement: we have signed a partnership with CEDIV TRAVEL! 🤝 "CEDIV TRAVEL is a renowned and respected network of travel agencies in the French market, and we are confident that this partnership will be mutually beneficial," said Alberto Gutiérrez, our CEO and Founder. Absolutely, we couldn't agree more! Let's go for it all! 🚀

For many years now, at #Civitatis we have understood the importance of Latin America within the tourism sector. It is not only a huge market, but also a very valuable one, and we are determined to consolidate our leadership there 🌎 Check out the interview with Enrique Espinel, our COO, where he talks about this issue and our future plans in the continent 📣

There are several reasons that have led us to lead the tours and activities category in Spain and LATAM. One of them is the careful curation of our activities catalog, which is led by our Supply team. Less is more 😉 Leonardo Zago is part of this team. He is in charge of managing our inventory of activities in Brazil and Paraguay, as well as direct contact with our suppliers.
