The Value of Authenticity in Today's Travel Marketplace

Published On: October 31, 2008

Let’s face it. Most destinations promote the same visitor experience, “Explore (your destination here). Discover world-class shopping, dining, recreation, attractions, events and lodging.” No wonder competition is fierce. While differentiation is king, few have mastered it.

Now, imagine if you promoted the local character and places that give your destination its flavor and color like the local diner, the legendary surf shop, the funky art district, and those quirky home grown events. Promoting these local gems can help differentiate you from the pack of sameness and give you a competitive advantage.
