A virtual getaway

Although earthTV might seem like a tech company with all the tech talk about HD live stream, their main focus remains editorial. “We utilize the latest publishing technology to virtualize the world in its true colours,” says Nikolaus Lohmann CEO and Co-Founder describing earthTV, the largest and most innovative global live camera network. “We want to connect people and encourage them to explore and inspire the love for travel. The proprietary earthTV System is the unique medium between our cameras destinations and a global media audience. Our growing network of live cameras act like the eye of the viewer; everything our cameras witness is available on all our platforms, TV and online, day and night, all year round. In a nutshell: the world is our studio, and we spend time and provide focus to show how beautiful it is to everyone.”

What is Live Destination Marketing?
You might wonder. It does only take a camera to deliver a video of a place, but it takes more to connect people to it. Grasping the feel of the place and bringing out its uniqueness and beauty, almost like you can touch it, is the focus of live destination marketing.

But why live?
Because live is simply the most authentic reflection of any destination. Think new media, think all new apps that are going live, think bridging destinations with potential tourists. By going live you are walking the shortest distance between a destination and travel lovers. earthTV offers a 24/7 live online stream and peerless editorial coverage of each and every camera destination.

What about TV?
Remember the weather TV segment mentioned in the beginning? That's “The World Live” the most watched segment in the history of TV, leaving viewers of all generations, places and cultures in awe. Behind the simplicity of this show is a mighty earthTV system that goes beyond capturing the place by using smart showgenerators. earthTV offers destinations a prestigious reach within this program.
