Why the DMO site?

Independent

Lot’s of quality content which– is searchable (text, images, videos, blogs etc.)

– keeps the (online) conversation going

Closest to suppliers, the setting and the place

Trustworthy

They are official

DMOs: why online booking systems?

Good position to ‘close the deal’

Market failure

Measure the effectiveness of your marketing

Market intelligence

Dynamic Packaging

DMOs: why cautious with online booking systems?

Provide information, not to make bookings

No commercial culture

Competition

Legal restrictions

Commercial message may disturb the general message

Commercial income? Cuts in public funding

DMOs: sources of income

Fees on sales of bookings

Merchandise shop

Affiliation programmes

Advertisements

– Context sensitive Ads

Advertorials that look like editorials

Through newsletters by including some editorial

Sell enhanced entries to tourism suppliers

Ecommerce & DMOs: lessons learnt

Visitbritain – Englandnet established in 2002: the national tourism database– 2004: formal complaint for illegal state aid and unfair

competition;– Englandnet was wrapped up and integrated into visitbritain;– Today they do not handle financial transactions or visitor’s

personal and financial details

Visitscotland – Established as a PPP in 2002 -> today public again;– it did not promote all accommodation providers;– overestimated industry’s appetite for online booking systems;– High number of visitors, low conversion– High cost leading to negative own capital– Web site: www.reclaimvs.com – Too optimistic business plan
