This session covers an agile, always-on approach to DMO marketing strategy and execution. Using Grail’s Tourism Investment Framework, the session will feature how to analyze the potential of source markets and prioritize those markets based on the destination’s ability to ‘win. The Framework is delivered through a data-driven, dynamic model for resource allocation across different markets and channels. As part of the discussion, there will be a case study presented alongside longtime client, South African Tourism (SAT), showing how the Framework was used to effectively prioritize source markets and allocate marketing budgets.
