Upskill During Lockdown

A purpose-built, intensive training program for South Australian tourism operators who want to make use of their time in a productive way and take advantage of the COVID lockdown period to get on top of their digital marketing.

Starts May 4th, 2020

This is a free program, fully subsidised for tourism operators by the South Australian Tourism Commission.

You will work productively to prepare for the return of travellers post the COVID-19 downturn by improving your marketing. 

You will be coached to identify and make improvements in your marketing assets inclusive of your website, google presence, social media channels and your marketing activity plan.  

You will receive weekly training and technical support to implement changes to grow your online presence and to create a proactive post COVID-era online sales plan.

We feel that what differentiates us and the other two awesome companies delivering this project on behalf of SATC is really our technical knowledge and marketing automation expertise.

So if you feel that - on top of all the awesome things you're going to learn - you could really do with a tourism tech at your fingertips to help you configure your website, make sure your SEO is correct, connect your Google Analytics to your online booking system or anything else that involves a technical device - then we're your winning team.

Plus, we've just completed a huge digital upskilling project across 7 regions in SA and have been given a massive thumbs up, saying the 280 digital health checks we've delivered to operators were pure gold.

Some of our reviews

Jackie Burling Skyview Units

“The whole course is amazing so far.
I felt very overwhelmed, probably still do but I think I may be able to improve on all levels.I have always preferred to go to the dentist or clean a toilet (I hate both) than tackle marketing and social media.

Have been to too many workshops over the years and leave with great intentions. The level of support is outstanding. I am committed that this 12 weeks is going to make a huge difference in the way I work.

A huge thanks in advance Tourism Tribe.”

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.
