Destination Marketing Podcast

Falyn Owens, Executive Director of the Garfield County Tourism Office joins the Destination Marketing Podcast. Topics include the Take Your Time campaign, maintaining a good relationship with hotel partners, and effective customer service within destinations. "I don't think people realize that sometimes tourism funds, especially in our county- search and rescue, the ambulance, trash collection, so tourists minimize a lot of the financial impact on the locals... It's important for people to understand so they know they need to treat our visitors the best they can."

In this episode of the Destination Marketing Podcast, Kaitlin Eskelson from the Utah Tourism Association joins Adam and Jordan to talk navigating outside opinions in a marketing position, mistakes in marketing, and Kaitlin's take on the most important component of tourism marketing.  "The Travel and Tourism industry is moving so quickly, we're bound to make mistakes. A lot of what we do is trial and error and I think that, again, going back to that guest experience and having a little bit of humility, it's sometimes just saying 'sorry, we tried our best on that one, it didn't work but we've learned from it and can move forward', I think that's really what people are looking for and what marketing campaigns should be all about. Being authentic, but admitting to when you make a mistake"- Kaitlin Eskelson on making mistakes in marketing.  Follow the Destination Marketing Podcast on social media: Instagram Twitter YouTube TikTok If you’re enjoying the show, please leave us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts!
