NTU, the Ukrainian and host national broadcaster of the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest, has launched a competition in search of the official tour operator for the upcoming competition.

With submissions open until the 21 November, travel companies wishing to become the official tour operator of the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 should apply and submit the completed application and NDA document to the Ukrainian national broadcaster via the email [email protected].

A number of requirements and standards are taken into consideration by both NTU as well as the European Broadcaster Union (EBU) when assessing each submission, such as providing sponsors, partners and fans with the opportunity to book accommodation in the lead up to the Kyiv-hosted contest in May.

The results of the contest will be revealed shortly after the closure of submissions following a thorough assessment, with the official tour operator being revealed via NTU’s official website.

This is one of the many competitions NTU has launched in the lead up to Eurovision 2017, having opened a contest last month in a search to find an official theme concept for the upcoming competition.

Following Jamala’s win in the 61st edition of the competition earlier this year, the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest will take place on the 9, 11 and 13 May at the International Exhibition Centre in the host city of Kyiv.
