The freedom of sailing the oceans can only be matched by the freedom one experiences in free flight. That's why Aerodium’s wind tunnel was chosen as a primary attraction for the world's premier offshore sailing event - the Volvo Ocean Race 2017-18 edition send off in Spain.
For 11 days, the port of Alicante welcomed 345 thousand people from all around the world, and for the first time, Volvo Ocean Race visitors experienced the power of wind flying high in the sky. So, how was a wind tunnel able to boost the city’s media coverage?
With the compact size, our mobile open-air wind tunnel was installed at the busy Race Village seafront, giving spectators an amazing sight of flying people with the Mediterranean Sea and mountains as the backdrop. Every day, 160 random people had the chance to experience flying with the help of our instructors. Being safe and suitable for young and old, the wind tunnel became the most desired activity in Race Village gathering tremendous crowds.
Visitors were also treated to fascinating aerobatic demonstrations performed by our seasoned professional flyers. With all the hype and posts from personal flights and flyer performances, Alicante was amongst the trending topics on social media platforms.
Quoted as one of the most innovative attractions, our wind tunnel had international media coverage, was being live streamed on the official Volvo Ocean Race website and appeared on various travel blogs, adding immense exposure to Alicante as a great travel destination.
We’re ready to promote your city! Make your visitors FLY!
