Purpose and tasks of the association

The "Verein zur Hebung des Fremden- und Geschäftsverkehrs" was founded on April 24, 1897. Until the 1980s, the tasks of developing tourism were divided between the association and the town council. In 1988, the Tourist-Information e.V. was founded, to which the tourist task was completely transferred by the state capital of Kiel in the interests of the common good.

The Kiel-Marketing e. V. association was formed in 2006 from the merger of the Tourist-Information Kiel e.V. and the old Kiel-Marketing e. V. It combines the business areas of tourism and city and town management. The current association can therefore look back on 122 years of tradition and experience. It is managed by the executive board, the board of directors and the management. The Managing Director is also responsible for Kiel-Marketing GmbH.
