Montreux Vevey Tourism started to work a couple of years ago on the rebranding of the region in order to better position the Swiss Riviera on the tourism market.

This long work was finalized with a new brand (Montreux Riviera) & logo, a new graphic chart and a better way to communicate.

 

On November 17th 2009, at the Kultur-Casino in Bern, Montreux Riviera won the first distinction of the Milestone 2009, in the “remarkable project”.

 

The Milestone is a Swiss competition that awards all the best tourism projects.

 

If you need more information about the region, do not hesitate to visit their web site, which I must admit is really nice and informative

As I mentioned in a previous article, the Montreux Jazz festival 2010 will take place July 02-17th 2010. If I do not mistake a few artists are already annonced like Simply Red. 

A few days ago I received a newsletter from them showing us the new poster of this 2010 edition. It was created by Mr Romero Britto, a brasilian artist who currently lives in Miami.  He is nowadays one of the most famous Neo-Pop artist who does sculptures and paintings. 
He already created the poster of the Montreux Jazz festival 1999 and created the Montreux Sound Logo. 

More news about this artist on www.britto.com  

Do you like this poster ??? Personnally yes, I feel it is really fun. Let us know your thoughts about it with some comments. 

If you want to buy the poster, you can order it on www.montreuxjazz.com at the special rate of CHF. 39. -- instead of CHF. 49. -- 

If you already plan to visit the Montreux Jazz in 2010, visit their official website as they offer some kind of "early bird" special deals for various concerts and passes.

Last week, Roch Voisine stayed in our hotel because of the concert he performed at the Auditoirum Stravinski.

I was lucky to get some tickets to go to the concert that was just amazing, completely packed with a great atmosphere. Moreover I had the chance to take a photo with him in the lobby.
He was very kind, smiling, simple and agreed very easily to do the photo. 

I wished all stars would be that nice !!!
