The street clothes the players and coaches will wear on the summer tour will bear the Catalan
Tourist Board logo.
There will also be presentations for the media and tour operators in the cities the team
visits featuring Catalonia as a tourist destination and which will be attended by Catalan Tourist
Board and FC Barcelona representatives.
Promotional video
One of the highlights is to be a promotional video in which viewers are welcomed to Catalonia
by first team players Xavi, Iniesta, Henry, Márquez and Martin Cáceres.
The video will be shown at the tourism promotion presentations in the cities on the tour and
on the video scoreboards at the grounds where Barça plays.
Long-standing partnership
The two organisations have been working together for some seasons now to promote tourism in
Catalonia.
The partnership has involved presentations in major source markets such as the United States,
Mexico, Japan, Korea and China, and in Europe the UK, France, Italy, Denmark etc.
