Who we are – and what we do

We are your direct connection to Bavaria. And we connect our Bavarian partners with you. Bavaria consists of the four holiday regions Allgäu / Bavarian Swabia, Franconia, Upper Bavaria and East Bavaria. With alpine and hill landscapes, historical towns and cities and a lively culture, UNESCO World Heritage Sites and world-famous culinary delights, those regions make up Germany's most popular tourist state. As Bavaria's official marketing organisation, we know all about its markets, trends and developments. Now we'd like to share that knowledge with you.

We are absolutely at your service: our sales guide and event calendar give you all the information you need about Bavaria. In 'Meet the Locals' we introduce you to inspiring Bavarian personalities, who represent a particularly authentic travel experience. With our regular trade newsletter we keep you abreast of events relating to the touristic Bavaria at all times and pass on the whole of our expert knowledge to you. What's more, you can count on us when it comes to sales tools such as pictorial and video material, brochures etc., which we keep on hand for you in the very best quality. 

Where you can meet us

We're out and about a lot, connecting Bavaria with the rest of the world – and sparking the world's enthusiasm for Bavaria. Why not drop in at these events and fairs which will be taking place soon? We look forward to meeting you!

My Bavaria is the feeling of being able to experience and live Nature, tradition, festivals and celebrations. As a native of Munich I have the epicentre as my home. This is where I feel at ease, spreading my bathing towel somewhere along the Isar, enjoying a freshly draughted tankard of beer in the English Garden or freewheeling through the city on my bike. My Bavaria is homeland.

My Bavaria means rediscovering home again and again — taking in the stunning landscapes on a road trip, spending a relaxed afternoon by one of the many lakes, and appreciating the unique charm of this region. Where else can you enjoy such a delicious Bavarian “Brotzeit” with pretzels, Obatzda, and a cold wheat beer? Where else is the joy of life celebrated so vibrantly — whether at lively folk festivals or traditional mountain gatherings? And where else would I rather live than here?

This is the sound of Bavaria

Experience Bavaria's diversity, people and traditions with all your senses - simply magical!

Science Congress Center München

Meet Bayern: MICE - Traditionally different

Outstanding expertise in business and science. Innovative strength, a first-class infrastructure and an attractive network of providers ranging from large exhibition halls to rustic alpine huts.    

Plus mountains, forests and lakes. City and culture. Traditional costumes, brass bands and rumtata. Schäufele and Weißwurst. Silvaner and a freshly tapped beer.

Unconventional and cosmopolitan, but always rooted in the homeland. Traditional and yet different. That is Bavaria. And it is precisely this combination that makes the Free State a first-class MICE destination.
