Co-Op Marketing for Destinations: The Path Forward for Covid-19 Recovery

June 1, 2022

Co-Op Marketing  for Destinations
Covid-19 is creating a make or break moment
for destination marketing. With the vital flow of
tourism traffic either interrupted or slowed by the
pandemic, many destinations find themselves cut
off from a critical source of funding used to drive
future promotion and help local communities
recover. Even worse, this situation has disrupted the
historic symbiotic relationship between destination
organizations and local tourism businesses like
hotels, tour operators, restaurants, and attractions
forcing them to make tough decisions about how to
stay visible to travelers during this difficult moment
