Cape Town, Berlin and New York

Ranked as the three best cities in the world by TimeOut magazine – join forces to promote their tourist offerings

Cape Town Tourism, New York Tourism + Conventions, and visitBerlin have launched the world's first three-way destination marketing organization (DMO) partnership, which debuts the One Small World travelogue. Produced by new experiences media company Tape, this joint documentary-style short film dissolves the barriers of time, distance, and geography to reveal the essence of TimeOut's top three best cities.

Just as the distances between people seem to grow, One Small World tells the story of three legendary locals who cross oceans and continents to share their love of their hometowns, discovering how their similarities bind them closer together and how their differences help them grow stronger. The travelogue celebrates the universal themes of cross-cultural differences and inspires connection through shared humanity, embodying the World Tourism Month theme of 'Tourism & Peace'.

Coming on board as a key sponsor in support of the initiative, and integral in connecting the three cities through air travel, is United Airlines, who offers direct service to both Cape Town and Johannesburg from New York/Newark (EWR), and direct service to Cape Town from Washington Dulles (IAD).
