Case studies: what PR with BISS achieves

Case studies: what PR with BISS achieves

Every collaboration starts with a task: making a hotel better known, bringing a region into the travel media, keeping a brand in the conversation. Using selected clients, we show what we do for them and what has developed as a result.

Outdoor Region Imst

since 2024

press relations for the region in German-speaking countries

+3.6 %

overnight stays in winter 2025/26, all of Tyrol +1.8 %

+5.0 %

overnight stays in summer 2026 (May to August), all of Tyrol +2.0 %

+2.3 %

The starting point

The Outdoor Region Imst in Tyrol combines active holidays with town flair, tradition and culture: from the Rosengarten Gorge and AREA 47 to the Alpine Coaster, and in winter the family ski area Hoch-Imst. BISS PR has handled the region’s press relations since April 2024.

Our work

Strategy consulting, classic and online PR, editorial visits and press lunches, press and influencer trips, events and press and B2B partnerships. This includes ongoing topics from the Imst outdoor summer to “Ski Hoch 3” and trips such as the 2024 season opening with the raft battle through the Imst gorge.

The result

Since April 2024, 943 reports on tourism in Imst, in daily newspapers such as the Oberösterreichische Nachrichten, in Freundin and in outdoor magazines. Three BISS press releases alone were published 121 times. Since the collaboration began, overnight stays in the region have grown faster than the Tyrolean average, twice as fast in winter 2025/26.

Only good stories sell, and BISS PR delivers them! A good network, a collegial and always professional cooperation are the other ingredients of a very good collaboration. We are delighted to have the BISS PR team at our side.
