Destination marketers are in unique circumstances compared to last year.

In compiling this whitepaper and webinar, we talked with industry leaders and researched the top marketing channels to deliver a framework for a 2021 destination marketing outlook. We took a careful look at what happened in 2020 and how we can apply what we learned to 2021. We wanted to make sure you have all the knowledge and tools in your arsenal to be successful for this upcoming year.

What’s inside:

  • How uncertainty will be the biggest challenge this year
  • Social channels: what happened and what’s coming next
  • How empathy is your most important strategy

We would love to help you implement a travel marketing strategy. Contact us today!

The 2026 Advance Aviation Research Series

Last year, we introduced AI for Travel. Since then, AI has moved deeper into how travelers search, plan, and decide. It’s no longer just supporting inspiration. AI is now influencing more of the traveler journey—shaping what gets surfaced, how options are compared, and how quickly decisions are made. AI for Travel 2.0 is a focused update on what’s changed—and how destination marketing needs to adapt right now.
