Autor Bonita M. Kolb
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 2006
Tourism Marketing Cities and Towns encourages those working in tourism to view tourism as more than a product but as a way to encourage economic development through brand awareness. This brand will use a citys already existing tourist attractions, distinctive cultural features, natural beauty and/or heritage. These unique features plus the available tourist services can then be packaged together and promoted to tourist segments including day visitors, business people and destination tourists. To create this branded package the student must learn how to analyze the urban tourist product, target the correct visitor group, plan the promotion and evaluate the impact. A special emphasis will be given to designing a promotion plan using branded events targeted at specific tourist segments.

Recenzii

"Professor Kolb has written a comprehensive, eminently readable, and-perhaps most importantly-highly applicable guide to effective tourism marketing. This book appears at a propitious time, as cities around the US are rediscovering and building upon their heritages and as central cities are rebounding from their post-war declines. Kolb's global examples and helpful prompts encourage strategic thinking and effective positioning in the increasingly competitive quest for tourist spending. This volume will be used in academic programs, but it belongs on professional bookshelves as well." -Charles M. Gray, Professor of Economics, University of St. Thomas, and President, Association of Cultural Economics International "This is one of the first books to explore in a comprehensive manner how cities can develop a tourism sector. It uniquely combines theory and practice; is clearly written, pertinent and perceptive; and its extensive use of relevant examples makes it interesting and useful for students as well as practioners. At a time when cultural tourism is acknowledged as vital to local economies, Kolb's new book is going to be necessary reading for all of those concerned with promoting cities, towns and the arts." -- Professor Sara Selwood, Head of Department of Cultural Policy and Management, School of Arts, City University, Northampton Square, London "Tourism Marketing for Cities and Towns is a must-read for anyone involved in the expanding fields of cultural tourism and urban marketing. Bonita masterfully combines her comprehensive knowledge of marketing strategies with real life examples of current urban marketing campaigns with how-to worksheets and study questions. The independent marketing consultant and the marketing student alike will find this book accessible and brimming over with useful tips and pointers." -- Monica Shay, Director, Arts and Cultural Management Program, Pratt Institute, Manhattan, NY "...a must read for anyone involved in the expanding fields of cultural tourism and urban marketing since it masterfully combines marketing strategies with real life examples of current urban marketing campaigns." - C-News
