Task details:

The presentation will determine to what extent you can provide a critical and contextual evaluation of the marketing of the destination as it is being undertaken by the DMO in question, applying relevant theory to practice. You are required to further develop the ideas presented in the report, based on feedback received from tutors and further reading around, in order to critically evaluate the appropriateness of marketing at the destination you have chosen.   Your presentation should be supported by visual and audio tools as relevant.

 

  1. a) Profile the current marketing approaches adopted by the DMO – these should acknowledge the destination marketing template;
  2. b) Evaluate these approaches, for example considering their appropriateness and effectiveness for different groups of visitors within the contexts of the destination and its DMO;
