In this fascinating presentation, Destination Analysts provides an in-depth look into the travel inspiration behaviors, planning habits and psychographic compositions of the most important travel segments of now and the future.
The long-term health of most destination brands will be reliant on tourism leaders effectively attracting new and diverse audiences. Destinations which are seeking to position their brand and visitor experience to a more culturally diverse group of travelers will benefit from hearing directly from these potential customers on what will inspire them and how to reach them. Key insights from a custom analysis of a national survey of these important traveler audiences will be presented, along with video interviews of these travelers discussing their opinions and desires. Your audience will walk away with insights into audiences that their brand may have particular success with, ideas for positioning their brands to be interesting and welcoming to diverse audiences, successful messaging strategies for different cultures and images, as well as content to be sensitive to. Option to include a live focus group of a diverse panel of travelers representing a myriad of cultures and backgrounds.

Option to learn more and in real-time with a live online panel of meeting planners, who will share their perspectives and take questions from attendees.
What mistakes are destinations making on their website? How can they more effectively attract visitors and serve their audience needs? Destination Analysts has overseen thousands of hours of traveler interviews as part of DMO website usability studies. In this entertaining and thought-provoking presentation, we will take attendees inside the psyche of their website audience and share what we’ve learned about the common mistakes most DMOs continually make. Using examples taken from pertinent DMOs, we’ll show how to quickly and cheaply improve a DMO website.
Smaller destinations face the same pressure to make hard decisions and justify their expenditures as larger ones. Yet, to many small destinations, market research is perceived as expensive and out of reach. In this one-hour session, you will learn the basics of conducting reliable and cost-effective market research in-house. This presentation will leave you with a treasure trove of ideas with the highest impact to your organization and new ideas for minimizing and sharing research costs.
