X Design Week

With the never-before-festival “X Design Week“, the project urbanana (initiated by Tourismus NRW e.V. together with Düsseldorf, Cologne and the Ruhr Area) brings the international network Digital Tourism Think Tank to Cologne. This is the first time this future forum will be held in NRW. From 6 to 10 June 2022, we’ll talk about topics, trends and developments in tourism destination management as well as in the digital scene. Under the motto “Shape Destination Experiences”, the English-language event will focus on the importance of start-ups, gaming and XR technologies for the tourism industry.
