Well most web designer are not sales-oriented marketers and totally overlook the #1 goal of your website, to generate lots of target prospects into your “sales funnel”, that you can convert into sale, arrivals and profits over time. This I why most travel websites are “dead on arrival”.

Dan re-enforces what I have been preaching. Your website must communicate:

• Social proof, so prospects know if you are experienced

Even if think your travel website is doing OK, watch this interview now because I bet you will learn a thing or two that will improve your website marketing ROI and lower your marketing cost.
