If you are going to post something on my site to promote your tours, you need to convince me and all the other tourism professionals, why you are a good choice. I am all for promotion and marketing, but I want to show you how to do it properly so I and other tourism professionals feel comfortable and want to do business with you.
This is called “social proof”. It is critical for all tourism professionals to learn if you are going to survive in tourism
There are 1000’s of people who watch my videos, read my blog and emails who are travel agents and tour operators who may be interested in your destination and services… But first you have to convince us.
How to Sell to the Travel Trade
Selling to the travel trade is even more challenging than selling to the public because they require even more “Social Proof”.
“Social Proof” means you are a good operator, safe, have a lot of experience, references and social media reviews and ratings. These all support and prove you are a solid choice to do business with and you will not screw up my client relationships.
Does this make sense to you?
Would you love to get more clients from the affluent markets in North America, Europe and Asia?
