This will be the successful story you for today #mondayMotivation: I was working on a new project related to tourism and the promotion of local places in my state, here in México, the name: TURISMO EN CORTO. The project was fresh and new, and I already had experience in creating YouTube videos for my personal channel, as well as for Piña TV, where I talked not just about nutrition, but also different lifestyle and beauty topics. So, I was already adaptable in content creation. We made one video, but I found a lack of previous planning and no target audience. I never allowed myself to make the same mistake twice. I took the initiative to talk with the tour guide of the next city we were visiting to make the video for the following week, and I asked her to show me the most interesting spots in Zimapan. I simply recorded everything with my phone, since the main camera was busy recording interviews with the president and other activities happening at the same time -boring stuffs-. I just thought about what someone would find really interesting in watching the video, and how our video could appear in an easy search on YouTube, such as 'Things to do in Zimapan'. I target for local #travelers from México city. easy, I talked about whatever they don't find in their city and it is only in ZIMAPÁN. To make the video more organized, I used the number "5" and listed 5 THINGS TO DO IN DOWNTOWN ZIMAPÁN. This always keeps more attention as you're waiting to reach the fifth thing, and it also creates curiosity. It's like, "WOW! I can do up to 5 things in that small town? Let's see what they are. It's important to mention that while recording the video, I was interacting a lot with people and local businesses in the town, so they knew what I was doing and probably will look for it later. In the end, the head of the project never supported my idea, and they did not post anything. I put so much effort into the video that I decided to post it on my personal YouTube and Facebook accounts. Local businesses on Facebook shared the video, and an independent tourist page downloaded the video and shared it on their own page, giving me credit. It became the most popular video on my YouTube channel. It also generated a lot of comments. It's great because I also had the opportunity to add some healthy food advice for when you are visiting the city. The conclusion is, always follow your vision and make it happen, even when nobody else believes in it, but over all HAVE FUN. I will share the link to the first video we made, without my participation, and the video that I created with my whole vision. After that, I quit the job because working without a supportive team is just not worth it! But it gave me the confidence and experience to work on future projects and communicate my ideas in a more clear and efficient way.

At Damosa Land, we are expanding our footprint in the hospitality industry here in Davao. 17 years ago, we secured the franchise rights for Microtel by Wyndham under PHINMA to develop two branches in Davao City and General Santos City. This year, we embark on our third project under this partnership and first condotel named TRYP, situated on the scenic Samal Island in Davao Region. As we navigate the dynamic hospitality and tourism landscape, we're eager to serve an increasing number of guests while gaining insights into their preferences and travel/spending behaviors, ultimately contributing to the region's economic growth. Earlier this year, the Philippine Statistics Authority revealed that in 2023, accommodations emerged as a key driver of economic success in Davao, surpassing pre-pandemic levels. This underscores the importance of our efforts in bolstering Davao's hospitality sector and the potential for further growth and prosperity in the region. #DamosaLandAt20 #DrivingMindanaoGrowth #RiseAndThrive #ItsGoodToBeHome

The G7 Summit starts today at Borgo Egnazia (Fasano) in Apulia. The event brings together the leaders of the seven member states, as well as the President of the European Council and the President of the European Commission, representing the European Union. Let’s take a look at this relatively unknown part of Apulia. Apulia, or Puglia as it is also known, consists of six provinces. The region is dotted with historical castles, cathedrals, monuments, sculptures, and scenic areas that have stood for many hundreds, and in some cases, thousands of years. The Puglia region is vibrant and varied, with each province developing its tourism trade based on its individual history and industries. The cave towns in Matera are highly recommended while traveling the region, along with the pristine beaches perfect for snorkelling and diving along the coastal villages, especially the Salentine Peninsula, which has many rocky Greek-like coves, caves, and crystalline waters. The province of Brindisi, home to Borgo Egnazia, borders Bari, the capital of Puglia. Taranto and Lecce form the very southernmost tip of the region. A newer provincial addition was made in 2004 to the northern border of Bari, named ‘Barletta-Andria-Trani’, followed north by the agricultural ‘tableland’ of Foggia, famed for vast watermelon and tomato production. There are many small fishing villages along the coast, including Savelletri. This coastal village is one of many smaller, beach-clustered settlements that make up the larger area of Fasano, surrounded by olive-grove hills and golden award-winning beaches. Puglia is becoming increasingly popular with foreign buyers and has a wide range of properties to offer, from town apartments and houses to farmhouses and beach houses. If you are planning on moving to Puglia, where would you like to be based: beach, town, or countryside? And, if you are planning and dreaming about buying property in Italy this year, get in contact with Daniel Shillito for a chat. #italyProperty #MovingToItaly #buyingInItaly #Italy #property #retireToItaly

Svolvaer is the capital of Lofoten and the gateway to this beautiful archipelago, serving as the entry and exit point (and yes, this city has an airport). Compared to other settlements in Lofoten, Svolvaer, with a population of over 4,700 inhabitants, is quite a large town. And while this town is not as picturesque as Lofoten’s gems – Reine and Henningsvær, there are plenty of things to do in Svolvaer. First of all, have a walk in the downtown and visit Svolvaer’s impressive art galleries. Then, you can have a relaxed walk to the Svinøya island and observe red rorbuer (fishermen’s cabins) that have been ideally preserved. And, of course, you can have a lot of fun on your visit to Svolvaer. For instance, don’t hesitate to drop by the Magic Ice Bar and appreciate the sophisticated ice sculptures while sipping a drink from the ice glass. Or set out on a guided tour to the local Lofotpils Brewery and try their outstanding craft beer. After all, try yourself at solving puzzles and riddles at the thematic Lofoten Escape Room. Or you can relax in the newest attraction in Svolvaer: the floating fjord sauna. Naturally, there are interesting activities that travelers prefer to try here, and taking the Trollfjord cruise from Svolvaer is an absolute must. And have you had a chance to visit the Lofoten archipelago? 😉 If so, which towns and villages have you visited?

Sometimes you have to embrace your mistakes and make the best of them, guess where I'm just back from... The Leaning Tower of Pisa is not only a 'wonder of the world' but a huge tourist attraction which injects a large amount of money into the town. The Piazza Miracoli Pisa would be a stunning work of architecture if the tower was straight, but I don't think it would attract the same level of tourism if it was perfectly vertical. Sometimes the best marketing is accidental, like a celeb stopping at a local restaurant, or a film location becoming a tourist hotspot. Unfortunately we can't rely on luck for marketing, which is where Nuddy Media can help you and your business. #marketingstrategy #pisa #viralmarketing #marketingagency #staffsmarketing

#Szczawnica, located in the mountainous #Pieniny region in south-east Poland 120 km from Kraków, right on the Slovak border, is yet to find its place on the world map of well-known #resorts, something the Mańkowski family has set out to achieve. The family is the owner and manager of Pieniny #Spa resort and the Thermaleo & Uzdrowisko Szczawnica group established after the Uzdrowisko Szczawnica spa town, together with properties and land, was returned to them in 2005, in one of Poland’s largest restitution claims at that time. Nicolas Mankowski, CEO of Grupa Thermaleo & Uzdrowisko Szczawnica Plus (the managing company of the group) and one of the three siblings working today in Szczawnica recalls: “First, there was a consortium of 80 heirs but we managed to acquire the majority of the shares to set up a strong management and ownership structure for the estate which unfortunately was at that time dilapidated or in ruins.” https://lnkd.in/eQE-CMeC #businessworld #digitalnews #globalnews #news #onlinenews #travel #wellbeing #internationalnews #businessleaders #newsupdates #newsoftheday #businessbuilding #latestnews #subscribe #follow #businessfocus

Leisure Attractions Economic Impact: "Peter van der Schans, VP and executive director at IAAPA EMEA, says: “The results of our study underscore the resilience and potential of the attractions industry in the Middle East and parts of Africa. As we navigate through dynamic global landscapes, it is crucial to recognize the substantial economic contributions of attractions, particularly in terms of revenue generation, job creation, and tax contributions.” #leisurepropertyESS Blooloop https://lnkd.in/e-9rE4kg

🌍 What Is the Real Future of #Elite Tourism? Rethinking What "#EliteTourism" Really Means 🌱 As we redefine what it means to travel in style, the conversation about "elite tourism" is evolving. Last night on Top Channel national television, we explored this transformation. Traditionally, "elite tourism" has been synonymous with extravagance and exclusivity. But should it be limited to luxury resorts and private jets? Or can it stand for something far more impactful? What We Think "Elite Tourism" Means: ✨ Exclusive experiences ✨ High-end amenities ✨ Secluded destinations What "Elite Tourism" really Mean: 🌿 Sustainable practices 🌿 Community enrichment 🌿 Nature regeneration Imagine a tourism model where elite experiences do not just consume but contribute: 🔹 Empowering Local Communities: By prioritizing local employment, fair wages, and cultural preservation, tourism can uplift communities economically and socially. Elite travelers should seek destinations where their presence fosters growth and stability, not displacement and disparity. 🔹 Regenerating Nature: True luxury is found in unspoiled environments. Elite tourism should invest in conservation efforts, support reforestation projects, and adopt carbon-neutral practices. Elite travel should be synonymous with leaving destinations better than we found them. 🔹 Authentic Cultural Exchange: Rather than isolated luxury, elite travelers can engage deeply with local cultures, traditions, and lifestyles, creating meaningful connections that enrich both visitors and hosts. The Challenge: As leaders in the tourism industry, let's redefine elite travel to reflect responsibility and legacy. This is an open call to tourism boards, travel agencies, and travelers alike. We need to champion a new standard where elite tourism is a force for good. How can we shift perceptions and practices in elite tourism? Share your thoughts on making tourism a catalyst for positive change. #EliteTourism #SustainableTravel #CommunityEmpowerment #NatureRegeneration #TravelResponsibly #TopChannelDiscussion #FutureOfTravel #EliteTourismRevolution #TravelWithPurpose #SustainableLuxury #CommunityEmpowerment #NatureRegeneration #ResponsibleTravel #TravelImpact #TopChannelDebate #FutureOfTourism #TravelForGood #EthicalTravel #CulturalExchange #EcoLuxury #TravelTalks #TourismTransformation https://lnkd.in/dhfaHnU4
