Your Medium is your Message – Sustainable Tourism = Sustainable Marketing
This year’s Sustainable Tourism Report has a whole 37-page segment devoted to sustainable tourism marketing.
The report says “Marketing is the simple process of identifying and fulfilling a need. If the need for your product or service doesn’t exist in sufficient quantity, in truth, you’re out of business before you start.â€
The report focuses in on up to the minute methods of marketing – “Modern marketing attentive to its audience, quick to react to their needs, with the extraordinary speed and power of the digital age is what will give sustainable tourism its power.â€
It goes on to say “The great thing about modern marketing is that it’s cheap, very effective at finding needs and doesn’t fill wastepaper baskets. Your marketing should be sensitive, effective, two-way, informative, understanding, reciprocal, co-operative, quick to react, inclusive, very, very environmentally friendly and low energy use – just like the product you’re creating.â€
“BUZZ, web 2.0 marketing or whatever you like to call it is superb for sustainable tourism because it is a platform to ask and share and respond – it’s absolutely no good at telling but it’s great at communicating.â€
The report’s marketing segment includes guides to 10 specific market niches, 13 alternative marketing methods, 35 social networks and 50 current ‘Movers & Shakers’ in sustainable tourism.
The report is priced at:
Commercial entities & NGOs: UK£200, US$300, €240
Students & educational establishments: UK£100, US$150, €120
Any one of the 12 sections may be purchased individually at UK£25, US$38, €30 each.
