Propellic - Travel Marketing’s Post

It's been a hot minute since I've been on a podcast, so I'm thrilled to share this recent conversation I had with Nicole Mahoney for Destination on the Left. Nicole and I always have a lovely time catching up, and this conversation is no different ... as we wandered all over the tourism spectrum. Some of the topics we touch on in this episode include: > How DMOs can discover the truly unique aspects of the places they represent -- and how they can share that story in a way that captivates travelers. > Why it's *so important* for us to reimagine a different vision of tourism. > Why we should shift from quantitative measures of success to qualitative ones. > How to amplify the voices and stories that have been side-lined by tourism in the past. > Helping travelers shift from passive visitors to active global citizens. > How responsible storytelling practices can help your destination stand out. Whew! Did you get all that? 😅 Listen to the full episode here: --- Does your destination need support in turning any of these ideas into action? I help organizations do this -- so get in touch!

We need better storytelling in tourism. I have worked on both the B2C side and B2B side of tourism. The harmful storytelling practices I witnessed as a travel writer, communicating directly with (potential) travelers, is a big part of why I established Rooted and moved to the B2B side. I think there is immense potential in empowering travel service providers – from destination reps to travel agents – to tell better stories. This then trickles down to travel media and content creators and, ultimately, to travelers. It was so lovely to chat with Rebecca Woolford of Kiwano Tourism about this journey – and about the opportunity and potential I see within the tourism space to improve our storytelling … and so much more! (Because, after all, storytelling doesn’t exist in a silo!) On this episode of the Tourism Reset podcast (the second episode!), we talked about: > Why we need to switch FROM ‘community-based’ TO ‘community-led’ tourism > Inspiring case studies and trips that put women’s empowerment front and center > How witnessing a culmination of negative impacts from tourism changed my perspectives about tourism and, ultimately, my career path > The problems with travel brands focusing on ‘locals’ and why it’s super nuanced https://lnkd.in/ghqZTJx9

When you can’t find the travel options you wish, what do you do? For Lilith D. the answer was: BUILD IT. Lilith is a energetic young lady. With a backbone in circus acting and music, her school competitions took her travelling around the country. A PROBLEM AROSE Passionate about the world around her, Lilith wanted her school trips to take a more #sustainable option when travelling with her dancing team, only to realise that making sustainable choices were not simple. “Hotels do not offer a transparent way to showcase what they do for the environment. And normally the real environmentally friendly options, do not market themselves that well, as they are small or rural properties.” SOLVING A PROBLEM FOR ALL Lilith then partnered up with Jerome, a young computer scientist, and decided to build a #platform to help hotels to list exactly how they are sustainable, and giving guests a list of properties that fit their personal criteria and requirements, while using gamification to educate the youth and to turn any vaccation into a fun game of sustainable travel. Check out their journey, what they have achieved, and how to use their sustainable travel platform: ChargeHolidays.
