Here's a marketing calendar to help you align your marketing activities with the most important international holidays and celebrations. You'll find traditional holidays, world days dedicated to important causes, or landmark events on the global scene. Use these dates to create impactful campaigns and engage your audience.

Here are a few examples of how this calendar can be applied in the hotel industry:

• Send targeted campaigns
• Offer exclusive experiences to your best guests, keep guests coming back with special promotions
• Capitalise on off-peak periods, and spread your peak activity over the whole year
• Avoid generic offers that don't stand out from the crowd
• Personalise your offers according to your guests' interests
• Celebrate local festivals with your international guests, organise themed events in your hotel for your guests and staff
• Launch online contests to raise your profile and boost your social networks by involving your subscribers (User Generated Content).
• Update your website with offers, articles and landing pages
• Encourage visitors to subscribe to your newsletters so they don't miss out on your events and offers
• Transform your hotel into an events venue, reinforce your presence with the locals by organising events where you decorate the hotel and invite them to a visual and immersive experience
• Choosing partners for special collaborations
• Highlighting your CSR actions during solidarity days
• Liven up your teams' daily activities by celebrating special days, and encourage team building
• Reinforce your innovative brand image

School vacations have not been included in this calendar, but they are important to take into account for your communities of guests from these countries, or to find out when families from neighboring countries are likely to visit. Here are the links to find the list of school vacations:

It is Carnival month 🎭 in Venice and Nice! Offer disguises, masks and accessories in shared areas, with a photo kiosk to take snapshots for keepsakes!

Organise get-togethers or games to bond with entertainment : bingo, karaoke, board games, etc. The classic Valentine's Day 💞 can be converted into a festival of love to include singles, with little words and declarations left in the rooms: a paper left on the pillow, a message on the mirror, hearts, or a wall in the lobby to display your love and declare yourself! Be sure to adapt your celebrations to your guests' origins: some countries celebrate family love, while others take a less positive view of Valentine's Day. On February 24, showcase your barmaids 🥃 by organising a cocktail evening with demonstrations and tastings, and give them free rein to use their imagination by creating tailor-made cocktails for guests.
