Marketing the Capricorn Region
Experience Marketing can often be quite daunting for many small tourism businesses. Today’s consumers have very high expectations on what they want to receive from their travel experience therefore it is important for your business to secure your own ‘experience’ message in your marketing. To assist with this, we recommend that local businesses look to align themselves with the experience marketing that is being conducted at a regional level. In conjunction with Tourism and Events Queensland, Capricorn Enterprise has developed a list of iconic ‘Hero Experiences’ for the region. Download the following fact sheet to learn more.
