Tourism Best Practices – Events and Visitor Centers in Spotlight

Tourism Best Practices – Events and Visitor Centers in Spotlight

Tourism professionals at Convention and Visitors Bureaus – CVBs (or Destination Marketing Organizations – DMOs) are implementing some innovative programs to increase visitation in their destinations. We call them Tourism Best Practices.

DeKalb Kite Fest

 

This week, many visitor attracting events:

Kite Fest in DeKalb

Double Decker Dine Tour in Springfield

Paddlefest in Parkersburg

Roar on the River in Evansville

THREE events in Clinton

Maybe more a promotion than event, Broadway Week in NYC

In other activity, Dansville CVB leading wayfinding / directional signage project.

Three destination marketing organizations are opening new Visitor Centers: Tupelo, Hopkinsville, and Asheville.

Finally, while not an initiative of one DMO, this is a good read on the interactive marketing of tourism businesses. How can content enable two-way communications between sellers (community attractions and partners) and buyers (visitors.)
