For Destinations And Tourism Boards

Make your destination the one travellers actually choose.

Travellers and travel companies all over the world are choosing where to go next. If your destination is not easy to find, easy to understand and easy to trust — they pick somewhere else. We tell your story in many languages, get you found on Google and ChatGPT, win you partners in every market, and show you exactly how many real travellers your work is bringing in.

The destination problem

The destination is real. The story is all over the place.

Most destinations we look at do a lot of things — but no one thing well enough to grow year after year. Six problems repeat again and again.

Too Many Stories. No Story.

Family travel, weddings, food, culture, adventure, business events — each has its own page, its own tagline, its own agency. The result? No real story at all. Travellers cannot say in one line what your destination is about.

English Only Misses 70% Of Travellers

Only 3 in 10 travellers speak English first. The other 7 — Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, Russian, French, German — never see your destination story in their own language. So they pick somewhere they can read.

You Get Last Year's Numbers Next Quarter

Reports arrive 60 days late as a PDF. By the time you read them, you have already spent next quarter's budget. There is no simple screen showing what is working today.

Travel Companies Are Not Looked After

Travel agents and tour operators in other countries sell your destination to thousands of travellers. Most destinations have no helper portal, no training, no rewards, no follow-ups for them. So they sell other destinations instead.

You Are Not Inside ChatGPT

When travellers ask ChatGPT "best 7-day winter break under 4 hours from London", AI picks the destinations whose information is set up to be quoted. Most destinations are not.

Every New Agency Starts From Zero

The agency changes every 3 years. The new one rebuilds your website, re-discovers your partners and re-buys your audience. Nothing builds up over time. Money is wasted again and again.

What you get with us

One story. Told everywhere. Tied to real arrivals.

One Clear Story For Your Destination

One central story. Twelve ways to tell it for different traveller types. A tone-of-voice book that lasts longer than any agency. Everything downstream supports the same promise.

"For years we ran on quarterly PDFs and campaign-by-campaign agency briefs. TravelTradeInsights gave us something none of our previous agencies did: a real-time view of which source market is responding, which partner is selling, and which AI engine is recommending us. That dashboard alone changed how our board makes decisions."

FAQ

Destination marketing questions, answered.

What is destination marketing in 2026 and how has it changed?
Destination marketing is now a B2B-plus-B2C operation. The destination still needs to attract end-travellers via SEO, AI search, social and PR, but it also has to win mindshare with global outbound agents, tour operators and booking websites who will package and resell it. A modern destination travel company or tourism board runs a multi-language consumer site, a partner B2B portal, an simple screen showing your numbers tying spend to visitor arrivals, and a content engine that earns AI-search citations alongside earned media.
How do you measurereturn on what you spendon destination marketing?
We tie every channel to one of four KPIs: assisted visitor arrivals (sampled from arrivals data), B2B partner activations (new outbound agents and operators contracting), category demand (search-volume share against competitor destinations), and AI-search citation share. Most boards we audit have no single attribution view — within 90 days, every campaign reports against the same four numbers.
Do you build websites for tourism boards or just market existing ones?
Both. We design and build flagship destination websites — multi-language, accessible, easy for Google to understand, with content for both end-travellers and trade partners — and we operate growth retainers on existing sites where redesign is not yet feasible. Most engagements start with a 60-day audit and roadmap before site work begins.
How do you handle multi-language SEO for a destination?
We never machine-translate destination content. We commission native copy in priority source markets — typically English, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, Russian, French, German — with language settings implementation, language-specific schema, and country-specific Search Console and Google Analytics properties. Each source market then gets its own content calendar around its own outbound search behaviour.
What is a B2B partner portal and why does a destination need one?
A B2B partner portal is a gated section of the destination website that gives outbound agents and operators what they need to sell the destination: high-resolution image libraries, fact sheets, sample itineraries, co-op marketing funds, training certifications, and a direct line to the destination travel company's trade team. We see partner activations rise 3–5× within a year of launching a well-built portal.
How does AI search affect destination marketing?
ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity now answer "where should I go for a 10-day cultural trip in March" and similar questions with specific destination recommendations. If your destination is not structured into citable, factually rich, easy for Google to understand content — and not referenced by enough trusted sources — you simply do not appear. Our AI Search Visibility and AI visibility programs are built to fix this.
Do you work with national tourism boards, regional ones, or both?
All three tiers. National boards (large multi-language operations, multi-segment), regional boards (e.g. a specific state or province), and city-level marketing organisations. The capabilities are the same — research, narrative, content engine, B2B portal, analytics — sized to the scope and budget.
What does a destination marketing engagement cost?
Destination websites with multi-language and partner portal start at USD 22,000 for the build. Growth retainers (content engine, SEO, AI search, partner acquisition, paid demand-shaping) start at USD 6,000 per month, scaling with source-market footprint, content cadence and paid spend.
