Description
The tourism market is fiercely competitive. No other market place has as many brands competing for attention, and yet only a handful
of countries account for 75% of the world's visitor arrivals. The other 200 or so are left to fight for a share of the remaining 25%.
Therefore, destination marketers at city, state and national levels have arguably, a far more challenging role than other services or
consumer goods marketers.
Destination Marketing: an integrated marketing communication approach focuses on the five
core tenets of integrated marketing communications. These embody both the opportunities and challenges facing Destination Marketing Organisations
(DMOs), and are: 1. Profitable customer relationships; 2. Enhancing stakeholder relationships; 3. Cross-functional processes; 4. Stimulating
purposeful dialogue with customers; and 5. Generating message synergy
The author seeks to provide a rationale for DMOs; to develop a
structure, roles and goals of DMOs; to examine the key challenges and constraints facing DMOs; to impart a destination branding process;
to develop a philosophy of integrated marketing communications; to lead the emergence of visitor and stakeholder relationship management;
and to set forth options for performance measurement.
Audience
