The Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau provides tourism industry professionals with a comprehensive range of resources to assist them in promoting Paris as a destination. For 2007, the PCVB has created a new collection of publications with new graphic design, and reorganised, enriched and updated content. The new graphic identity has four characteristics: the illustration, the use of the PCVB’s logo bubbles as a central element of the cover, the selection of four colours for each year, and a simple layout. Original and elegant, the new range of resources seeks to give Paris the image of a vibrant and welcoming city.
