Just to clarify, marketing drives sales.
Marketing your tourism business is crucial for attracting customers and boosting sales. Don't see it as a mountain to climb, see it as a few quick steps every week. The more you do it the better you will get.
We are all short on time so I have compiled a handful of quick tips that can be applied to all types of tourism businesses. You can get started on these tonight or over the weekend.
Optimise All your Online Listings
Ensure your business has an optimised presence on platforms like:
Google My Business: Manage your online presence on Google Search and Maps, update information, and engage with customers.
TripAdvisor: Showcase your tourism business with reviews and recommendations to attract travellers.
Australian Tourism Data Warehouse (ATDW): List your tourism products and experiences to reach a wider audience across Australia.
Facebook: Connect with customers, share updates, and build relationships on the world's leading social media platform.
What do you mean by optimise?

Make sure your descriptions read well. I suggest you run your descriptions through Chat GPT or similar for suggested improvements.
Regularly update your business details.
Add high-quality images.
Ensure all fields are completed
Add links to website and product pages wherever you can
Encourage positive reviews.
Invest in a High-Performing Website
