2023 is the year of 🧐 artificial intelligence 📮 email marketing automation 🎥 and personalised video communication. Imagine being surrounded by a team to help you and support you to make the most of it.

Are your tourism business's digital foundations solid enough to embrace this next stage of digital marketing techniques?
If they are not, you are not alone.
Only 28% of tourism businesses have adequate digital foundations and only 2% are competitively engaging online.

"I can log on to Tourism Tribe and ask for help ~ and get it in a timely way ~ is simply amazing."

Sue Forrester from The Burrow at Wombat Bend B&B,
Dixons Creek, Yarra Valley, Victoria

I joined Tourism Tribe at its beginning. As a person with enthusiasm and a strong desire to improve my understanding of my niche in the tourism industry, I felt that here was an opportunity to grasp with both hands. I have found working with Liz and Fabie, even though we have not met ‘in person’, is akin to having a personal mentor beside me at every turn. The Tourism Tribe program has become a must for me to engage with, and the more specific and detailed programs on offer from these inspiring women and their industry contacts, the more I feel I am being guided and empowered to identify my place in our industry. I also know I can ask questions in the Tourism Tribe support forum and not be ignored. I know that others are in the same learning boat, and that gives me additional confidence that I am far from alone. It can be isolating when one is not part of a busy office structure where lots of people have the answers to a problem; to know I can log on to Tourism Tribe and ask for help ~ and get it in a timely way ~ is simply amazing. And all for a very small annual investment of a few dollars. I can’t speak highly enough of Liz and Fabie and the extraordinarily generous product they have created for us. They truly are ‘Givers’. Each of them freely offers insights from their own unique experiences and perspectives of working in this industry.

We know what it’s like…
to be building a business on our own, without having the funds for a full-time digital expert or marketing manager.

We know what it’s like …
to be so tangled up in delivering amazing experiences and wondering how we are going to get the time, let alone find exactly what we need to do next.

We’re constantly asking ourselves…
if we’re doing the right thing, and just like you, we would have loved to have experts at our fingertips. We did it the hard way.

F.A.Qs
