Tourism Attraction

Tourism is a significant industry for regional economies.  Unfortunately, most communities fail to capture, communicate and market the benefits to potential tourists.  The economic multiplier effect is tremendous and adds value across a wide ranging set of industries and occupations.  Each community has something unique that is attractive to potential tourists.  Finding out the niche, designing a marketing campaign and targeting the specific type of tourist group is essential to effectively growing the tourism industry.

AJC Solutions works closely with local stakeholders to first identify the visitor proposition.  The visitor proposition will become the foundation of the Tourism Strategy and must be unique to that regional economy.  The next step is to identify the targeted tourism market for that visitor proposition.   Each tourism market has their various channels of communication and previous spending patterns.  Understanding this is critical to establishing a well articulated marketing campaign that clearly defines the visitor proposition to the tourism target.  Aligning the industry leaders is essential for them to become ambassadors and champions for the overall tourism strategy.
