Strategy and Action Plan
“As the world becomes more competitive at a faster and faster rate, choices for visitors and companies get harder. Digital has
become the game changer.”
As companies work to locate where workforce is, and as visitors seek out their next vacations, how your brand attracts and retains those audiences is that destination’s
challenge for the next 25 years.
“Having a strategy gives you the tools to have a real dialogue about your place.” ED

“Partnerships must be mutually beneficial: All parties need to discuss how this partnership will be mutually beneficial. Otherwise it can turn out to be a subsidy for one participant and a drain on the other. Ask yourself ‘What direct benefits to our business/organization will this partnership bring?’ ‘What specifically can they offer us in exchange for our involvement?’ Don’t accept ‘warm and fuzzy’ statements like ‘it will bring more visitors’. Get specific, as in how many overnight visitors are projected from the project?”
The partnership should support your mission, and it should match your marketing/business plans. If not, think twice”
