Our keynote speaker, Ben Baseley-Walker, Andart Global discusses "Storyboarding Season 2: A New Generation of Storytelling for the Gulf", as destinations multiply and the initial excitement of novelty fades. With a shifting, evolving audience, traditional, sales-focused destination marketing no longer suffices. Instead, Gulf destinations must harness storytelling to emotionally engage travelers, drawing from strategies in politics, film, and TV to create authenticity and build trust. This approach, including a unique case study on "Making Space Boring" (Asteroid Mining), demonstrates how to make the extraordinary relatable, ensuring long-term interest in Gulf destinations. Key points include moving beyond standard marketing to strategically sequence stories, building credibility, and connecting with audiences on a deeper level. Come and listen to his session on Day 2: https://cvent.me/Y90owA #CSCMEA2024 #Storytelling
