Tourism Strategy Development

We are interested in promoting our tourism market for our business. However, we are facing challenges streamlining 4 separate website offerings into one hub. We are interested in building ceramic immersion experiences for visitors using the ARTS as a gateway for experiences. We would like to collaborate with students to tell our community’s story in new ways and attract more tourists. This will involve several different steps for the students, including: Conducting background research on our town and its history as the #1 Arts town in Canada. Identifying the customer personae of prospective visitors and their travel journeys. Identifying attractive experiences and interpretive narratives to build out itineraries: .ie: weekend getaway packages, week long immersion with inner muse, art month creative sanctuary! Recommending revisions to incorporate storytelling within our existing promotional materials. Bonus steps in the process would also include: Revising our current materials to include effective storytelling.

Well, I want to praise and let everybody who works for her in the future know that she is a great person to work for, and her experience shows that. I loved working for her while she was lenient with me because of my studies and part-time work, which was also parallel. Overall, I just want to say that she is a very wonderful person to work with, and I would recommend future students who want to work in the tourism field to work with her.
