This summer I have been reading, coding, talking with anybody getting its hands dirty on all the operations and processes of Tourism Destinations/Enterprises!
AND…
Of course, avoiding at all costs, the ones without experience in travel management, regrettably, talking about our beloved sector and, as always, only criticizing and never providing any solution!
You know me, I love to be a Teacher. To me, real Teachers bring real experiences to the class!
I love to learn new Business Models, new Technologies, new Methodologies. the new, new thing!
Then, I get practical experience doing consultancy or creating a new enterprise and I convey this Knowledge to My Touristologists!
Watching them improving his/her professional career, starting a new disruptive start-up, helping to change the way we define, enjoy and manage Tourism, makes me the happiest Touristologists builder in the world!
I enjoyed reading an interesting article about “Tourism Leakage”. In this article appears an important sentence!
“those who decided the supply chain… decide the cast and what role they play.”
Remember, that we, Touristologistly love to say, that the creation and management of the chain of value is essential in order to get a profitable and sustainable Tourism Destination/Enterprises!
Don’t listen to the ones that only manage Tourists when they ALREADY are in its Tourism Destination. They are the same that always say that to manage Tourism is very difficult and never explain how to do it. Apart from reducing the promotion, increasing taxes and supply limitation, instead of proposing a stimulating alternative for everybody
Listen carefully to your own Touristology’s voice!
Choose Specialized segments with a motivation to travel strongly related to your values, the interest of the inhabitants and enterprises from other sectors, with desire to become international.
Get a DIRECT relationships with YOUR Tourists in your OWN platform, the one that manage all the chain of value!
Offer to them International Routes, Hybrid Experiences!
Anything related to their trip OR related to their trip motivation!
Create GROUPS and/or help them to help you creating their own groups (Pro_Am, remember?)
Then, you will be able to manage the waves of Tourists BECAUSE you create them!
Seduce them to appear in different places in different time! We are waves managers!
I love to be a Touristologists builder!!!
I love to see, in front of my eyes, students becoming the future of our beloved sector!!!
