Sure. What do you recommend? We means the "Wikimedia movement" also
something 90% of people probably have no idea about.
How about "Today we are launching Wikivoyage, a free travel guide that
anyone can edit. Join us."

I'm not sure you really want that message.
1). It's long.
2). 90% of people have no idea what the WMF is.
3). There's no call to action. There's nothing saying "click here to
check it out" or driving them to click on the banner. It's just a statement
of fact.
4). Who is "we"?

Okay so everyone is happy with "Wikivoyage, a free travel guide that
anyone can edit, is officially launching this week as the WMF's 13th
official project. We invite you to join us." We will also hopefully have
Wikivoyages logo.
I have added content here

Does not format that well though.
