Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, grade: MA, Bournemouth University, course: Public Relations Management, language: English, abstract: INTRODUCTION As a result of globalization, the borders between the countries have started to disappear. The transportation became much more easier compared to the last century, even the last decade. There are many airplanes going to the other end of the world every single day (Business Week, 2005). Moreover, after the foundation of European Union, the permission of free flow of people between the member states; in other words, after the elimination of the borders, people do not prefer to go to their summer houses anymore, but to other countries in their spare times. All of these lead to the growth of the tourism sector. In today’s world, there are many kinds of tourism including; business and conference tourism, cultural and historical tourism, sex tourism, health tourism, spa, sports and adventure tourism, event tourism, and space tourism (L’Etang, Falkheimer, Lugo, 2007). In order to attract consumers to various choices in this highly competitive market, there are many marketing and management tools that shall be taken into consideration. The most important of these tools is public relations which play a role in constructing images of locations, activities and identities (Morgan and Pritchard, 2001) which will be discussed further. Public relations’ role is not only attracting visitors but also to keep them happy after they arrive (Wilcox, Ault, Agee and Cameron, 2000). Its primary purpose is to: “...effectively support other sales and marketing activities attempting to build up a positive image of a company and its products and services” (Roberts, 1993: 132). Furthermore, another role of public relations is to save money for the organisation by building relations with public that “constrain or enhance the ability of the organisation to meet its mission” (Grunig, cited in Deuschl, 2006).

Book excerpt: The opening chapter explains the recent growth of industry PR, and travel & tourism news coverage which today focuses on the considerable economic benefits of the industry. Additionally, it reviews the leading news media that covers the industry, the primary PR tools and audiences, and details the factors leading to PR's new prominence across the industry. It also provides informative sidebars with lists of key industry print media, top travel agencies, plus a Travel Industry Association of America case study of a post-9/11/2001 campaign to restore American confidence in travelling. It also includes a composite definition of PR, and tells how PR is a discipline distinctively different from publicity, propaganda, advertising, and marketing. The author notes how, over the past decade due to economic conditions, PR in many cases has been integrated with marketing communications and played an important role in both strategic and tactical marketing activities. Following this overview, the ensuing five chapters examine communications model specifics that are of special importance to the industry's major sectors: hotels/lodging establishments; restaurants; tourist attractions/destinations; and transportation services. Each of these sectors have their own special messages, PR tools, and audiences. For example, meeting planners and travel agents are of most importance to hotels, while travel agents are of little importance to airlines and restaurants. Also included is a chapter about what travel employers should understand about PR The chapters will be followed by appendices that will include: The top 30 U.S. Travel & Tourism Professional/Trade Associations; and the Leading U.S. Travel & Tourism Universities.

Book excerpt: The tourism market is fiercely competitive. No other market place has as many brands competing for attention, and yet only a handful of countries account for 75% of the world’s visitor arrivals. The other 200 or so are left to fight for a share of the remaining 25%. Therefore, destination marketers at city, state and national levels have arguably, a far more challenging role than other services or consumer goods marketers. Destination Marketing: an integrated marketing communication approach focuses on the five core tenets of integrated marketing communications. These embody both the opportunities and challenges facing Destination Marketing Organisations (DMOs), and are: 1. Profitable customer relationships; 2. Enhancing stakeholder relationships; 3. Cross-functional processes; 4. Stimulating purposeful dialogue with customers; and 5. Generating message synergy The author seeks to provide a rationale for DMOs; to develop a structure, roles and goals of DMOs; to examine the key challenges and constraints facing DMOs; to impart a destination branding process; to develop a philosophy of integrated marketing communications; to lead the emergence of visitor and stakeholder relationship management; and to set forth options for performance measurement.
