Turkish Treatment: Lessons In Service And Marketing, Australia’s Tourism Industry Could Learn From Turkey.

by Carolyn Childs Leave a Comment

My Travel Research

The response to Bronwyn’s recent piece on the joys of domestic travel has made me realise how useful it is to have a point of comparison.  It gives us some perspective.Last year I spent 5 weeks in Turkey on an (ahem) detailed research trip to make that comparison.  It’s a useful comparison because, according to the very useful Economist World in Figures app, Turkey actually sits quite close to Australia in the world tourism rankings on inbound benefit.  It’s derived from more visitors spending less but nevertheless we’re pretty close.  Like … [Read more...]

by Bronwyn White 10 Comments

Every Christmas we drive to Melbourne with the kids to visit Mum and Dad so I get to reconnect with regional Australia.  This is often with somewhat mixed feelings.  I have worked with regional tourism for many years now in a marketing and market research capacity so I guess I travel not only as a 'traveller' but also with an eye on the game.Essentially what I notice, is there is so much opportunity for tourism businesses to shine and untapped opportunity.  Here are a few of the highs and lows of my family road trip. 1.  Regional produce and … [Read more...]

Seniors Travel research

Our seniors travel research has been gaining an enormous amount of interest and publicity since we published it 6 months ago. The interest comes mostly from the mainstream press (it is a great story).  We have been on TV, in all the national newspapers, marketing magazines, and positioned as being at the forefront of seniors travel in Australia research. We have also had marketers from other industries look at the research.  Oh yes, I think we had 1 article from a travel publication.  I guess what is prompting me to write this article, is that … [Read more...]
