Many independent hotels, tour operators, family-owned businesses (such as restaurants, boarding homes, safari operators, DMCs), tourism boards, and regional airlines can now access destination marketing and public relations in the United States through the WTN initiative.
World Tourism Network has devised a plan to establish trust and attract high-spending American travelers to these smaller and medium-sized travel and tourism enterprises (SMEs).
The special substituted options are available to well-vetted qualified SMEs located outside the United States. It’s meant for small companies or family-run businesses to benefit and increase business, and the trust of US travelers. City, or regional tourism boards may also qualify, or could become a cooperation partner.
The World Tourism Network, a global organization for SMEs, teamed up with Travel Marketing Network in New York and its growing list of providers.
Travel Marketing Network is a network of established PR professionals, media partners and experts also in marketing, lead generation, social media, safety & security, consultants, event organizers, educators and investment experts.
The Travel News Group, owner of eTurboNews, and a partner in the Travel Marketing Network will guarantee prominent media coverage for those participating in this program.
Alain St. Ange, former minister of Tourism for Seychelles and a recognized international consultant, and partner in this initative says: “Smaller businesses may be small now, but when getting access to effectively pitch their product to the US consumer or trade markets, they become poised to change for the better. Smaller clients may become bigger clients using this concept.”
Depending on the size, the business type, and needs, US representation through this program can start from $250.00 a month in some cases.
The whole concept of Public Relations is to get noticed. With so many media sources out there these days, the task is:
– How do you get noticed and stand out in the crowd?
– How do you make Google fall in love with you?
– How do you make social media hungry for more of your news?
You get noticed by producing Bloody Good News having catchy headlines, spicy articles that make readers remember you and want to read more – that’s how. Bloody Good News is one of the participating content partner.
