Travel & Tourism
Your brand needs a marketing strategy as unique as your destination or service.
V9 works with your team to create a custom digital marketing strategy that establishes your brand as the expert, generates traffic to your site, and gets your destination in front of potential travelers.
Digital Marketing for Travel & Tourism
Your travel or tourism brand has one job: get people to go places. If only it were that easy, right? The travel and tourism industry has evolved in recent years, with the customer experience now starting with an online search, rather than arrival at the destination. But tourism is still a massive source of revenue, both for the destination and the agencies that drive people to visit. That’s why it’s more critical than ever that travel and tourism agencies focus on their online presence — and their digital marketing.
Each agency or travel service has its own set of struggles, whether it’s a lack of awareness of a destination, creating attractive experiences that call to travelers, or losing bookings to third-party OTAs and mass booking sites. If you’re working within a DMO, you also have a big job: promote an entire area and all that it has to offer. This involves extensive campaign work, a highly active social media presence, and targeted ads to build awareness. As for travel agencies, attracting customers who want the experience you provide means… well, letting them know about the experiences you provide.
Getting seen in search, competing for booking revenue with third-party booking sites, and losing authority to sites like TripAdvisor.com make it hard to be seen as the go-to resource for your location or experience. You know that establishing your brand as the authority in your destination or travel service is the best way to convert “lookers” into “bookers,” but there’s a lot of ground to cover.
