The Hague in the news
The Hague Marketing promotion campaign makes you think
“The result of a conference is what really counts. Using your brain to full capacity and returning home with fresh new ideas. The Hague challenges you to think, as it has done for a long time. As the United Nations’ international knowledge city, as the seat of government or as the birthplace of great writers and painters. Nothing clears your head like a panoramic view of the sea, where fresh ideas float in on the breeze. In other words: The Hague Makes You Think.’, argues Anja Overhoff, head of The Hague Marketing, excited about the Convention Bureau’s new campaign.
June is The Hague’s festival month

Don’t miss Shopping Night on Thursday June 23rd, featuring a large catwalk in the middle of the street and tips on your mobile phone about great offers and the latest trends. This formula is so successful that other Dutch cities are following our example. The motto is ‘Shop till you drop!’.
