Improving your presence
on the Web
"Consumers want immediate access to information - if you don't have a good Website, you are not in the tourism business."
Harvey Sawler, Canadian Tourism Expert
TOURISMTECHNOLOGY.COM is a one-on-one mentoring session at your place of business, a Website evaluation and information manual based on research from the Atlantic provinces. It normally lasts 3-4 hours
The TT.com mentorship program coordinator can offer current and valuable ideas for enhancing Website activity and ensuring that the importance of a great Website is at the forefront of the tourism operators' marketing strategy.
Some things we might talk about include but are not limited to:
How can I make the most of the website I have?
What if I cannot update my website myself?
The benefits of a new website
Website options based on your budget - template based sites, wordpress, other
Choosing a developer that's right for you
Online booking or online reservation systems
Trip Advisor, or other comment/feedback forums
Looking ahead to other technologies, creating a technology plan
Social Media, what is right for my business?
Our Online Readiness Study concluded that there is a large gap between what consumers expect from a tourism Website and what is currently being delivered. Numerous efforts are being made to reduce this gap, given our primary initiative being one-on-one mentoring sessions with Tourism Operators.
The Technical Resource Coordinator will visit you, at your place of business, and review your current Website, as well as create a checklist to help you move to the next level in online Web technology.
If you are building a Website, refreshing your Website, and you are not getting a return on investment or wondering why you need online booking, you should really consider taking this session.
$125 plus HST.
