CATCH-UP: Destination Marketing is not only about ad campaigns

This session is around the Destination Marketing Model we have developed, that shows an overview of the integrated approach of the nature of the hand-offs between each stage of the tourism value chain. It is the integration between the components of destination marketing, destination management and travel intel that create the synergies not available in a traditional, fragmented destination marketing approach.
