Bayer 04 Leverkusen have been partners of SalzburgerLand Tourismus (SLTG) and Zell am See-Kaprun Tourism for over seven years. "Germany is by far our most important overseas market with over 11 million overnight stays. Just from North Rhine Westphalia, we have 350,000 guests with around two million overnight stays each year," said SLTG managing director Leo Bauernberger in underlining the significance of the long-term partnership.
Fernando Carro, chairman of the board at Bayer 04, also welcomed the extension of the partnership: "For years, we've enjoyed outstanding conditions in Salzburger Land for the build-up to the new season. We're looking forward to our next visit in the summer."
Tourism director Renate Ecker is also very keen, "to be able to welcome our friends from Bayer 04 Leverkusen to Zell am See-Kaprun this summer. The partnership is of great value to us in our positioning as an Alpine holiday destination full of sporting opportunities."
The partnership with Bayer 04 Leverkusen is full of activity again from day one. In addition to the annual summer training camp, there are a range of joint marketing activities such as at last Saturday’s Bundesliga top game against Borussia Dortmund. At the "SalzburgerLand home game" partners from SalzburgerLand brought Alpine flair to the BayArena and invited people to holiday in the Salzburg mountains.
Job done: the Bayer 04 eSports team defeated SV Darmstadt 98 in the play-offs to secure their consecutive participation in the VBL Club Championship final. The journey continues now for Leverkusen on Saturday 7 March (from 17:00 CET) with a last-16 encounter at Hamburger SV.
