As destinations and airports navigate an increasingly competitive landscape for traveler visibility, they need partners who combine national scale with industry-specific expertise. Advance Local has responded by unifying Advance Travel & Tourism and Advance Aviation, bringing destination and aviation specialists together through one coordinated approach designed to better serve clients across the travel industry. 

Today, our national team includes more than 30 marketing specialists dedicated exclusively to travel, tourism and aviation. Together, they bring expertise in brand development, creative and content strategy, multi-channel media planning and placement, and community-specific storytelling. 

Previously, Advance Travel & Tourism clients were supported through individual local market teams. The unified national team now brings together travel and aviation specialists from across Advance Local's network, providing clients with more coordinated strategy, shared expertise and insights informed by markets nationwide. This evolution creates a more seamless client experience while expanding the collective knowledge available across the travel ecosystem. Teams supporting travel clients are now equipped to serve both destination and aviation partners, creating new opportunities for collaboration and integrated strategy. 

Advance Aviation has partnered with well over 100 airports across the United States during the past decade, establishing the team as one of the industry's most recognized aviation marketing firms. Through targeted, data-driven strategies, we help airports increase passenger traffic, reduce leakage, support new air service and fill seats—all with a focus on measurable return. Our partnership-first approach is grounded in accountability, transparency and close collaboration with airport teams as they navigate immediate challenges and pursue long-term growth. 

"Travel organizations are navigating a more complex landscape than ever before," said Joseph Dabbs, Vice President of Sales, Advance Travel & Tourism. "By bringing our destination and aviation expertise together within one unified national team, we're creating more opportunities to collaborate, share insights and deliver strategic solutions that help our clients connect with today's travelers." 

Bringing Advance Travel & Tourism and Advance Aviation together under one national team reflects Advance Local's continued commitment to helping destinations and airports earn visibility, build understanding and influence traveler choice through research-driven strategy, collaborative partnerships and a deep understanding of how people discover and experience places today.
