Paris Syndrome vs. Nashville Syndrome in tourism

by Carolyn Childs Leave a Comment

Paris Syndrome vs. Nashville Syndrome Image 1

Paris Syndrome: Sometimes we need to be careful what we wish for   When I conducted a long-term brand tracking studies in both the airline industry and for destinations and destination marketing, I noticed that the Japanese consistently rated everything to do with France very positively.  For many Japanese people France, and particularly Paris, form an ideal of a destination – representing civilisation, beauty and culture. But when Japanese people visit Paris, some suffer a severe disappointment.  Real life Paris is grittier and … [Read more...]

Travel Research Trends

The search landscape is moving fast. In particular, mobile search and mobile usage by travellers - both business and leisure.  We have seen great emerging trends this year and it presents a great opportunity for those willing to truly connect with their potential customers on the path to purchase via mobile.

Tourism Marketing

The last year (2014) has been a rocky road for those in the industry who have put all their social media eggs in the Facebook basket.  Many tourism businesses and destinations saw a dramatic drop in their organic Facebook reach last year.  This impacted many.  This meant that fans were not seeing posts. Then it became official that this was is a deliberate move as part of Facebook’s revenue-generating strategy by making businesses pay more for fans, exposure to fans, and the opportunity to engage with fans. As a result, less than 4% of fans … [Read more...]

by Carolyn Childs 1 Comment

The Travel Path To Purchase – Dreaming

by Carolyn Childs 2 Comments

Travel Research

Parks Canada has just announced that it will be putting Wifi into Canada’s National Parks.  This has provoked a flurry of debate. Surely the point of a National Park is to enjoy wilderness and undisturbed by emails or the need to connect?  After all, we now recognise Nature-Deficit Disorder as a condition and JWT identifies Mindful Living as a key trend.   SHARING SPURS DREAMING But I’m going to disagree - this is a fantastic initiative.

Digital marketing

At MyTravelResearch.com we do a lot of stakeholder research – and a lot of industry workshops. One of the things we hear a lot from small tourism businesses is that they hate spending time on marketing (especially digital marketing) when they could be doing ‘real’ work and that customers prefer face-to-face contact rather than digital connection anyway. … [Read more...]
