Thanks Jack.
Mike’s story is inspiring and a good guide. Part II is even better with specific “how-to” travel business and tour operator marketing you are going to love.
Look for Part II by the 18th, plus an travel business marketing survey to fine tune the training guidance and training I can provide you and fellow tourism pros in 2012 and beyond.
How is your Florida Tour guiding coming? Keep up the good work.

I want more visitors to this website.
Website visitors ( traffic ) is important.
But what is 10 x more important ( and something too many travel and hospitality marketers) over look is, is CONVERSION. Conversion means to convert web visitors into prospects, and prospects into sales over time.
If you want to sell more travel and make more money make sure your travel website converts ( sells) first. Then work on more visitors. This is the 2-part secret to succeeding in tourism.
Best, Tourism Tim Warren
As always, great food for thought….and action! Thanks for the inspiration 🙂
Cheers,
Ruth
