Print advertising placed in local, regional or national newspapers, ethnic publications, trade and tourist magazines, journals or newsletters and magazines relevant to your target market
Radio advertising placed locally or regionally Wholesaler programs: promotional costs for such pro-
grams are shared and therefore less expensive. They can also reach a wider audience.

PR AND ADVERTISING
Advertising in the tourism industry can be somewhat dif-
ferent to advertising in other industries. In relation to a holiday for example, the customer is being sold an intangible product they can’t see or touch before they buy. Often customers will pay for products before experiencing them. Given these factors, and the wide choice of tourism products available, customers have high expectations of product quality and value for money.
Advertising decisions will be inuenced by a number of
factors: 1) overall business objectives, for example, aiming to boost sales in slow periods or to clear old stock; 2) advertising production and placement costs; 3) the extent of exposure an advertisement will receive; 4) target market characteristics;
5) how a product is positioned in the marketplace. In order to measure the success of an advertising cam-
paign and determine if promotional costs are well spent, it is important to consider some means of gathering customer information and feedback. This can be achieved using simple survey techniques, which can often be incorporated in the ad­vertisement itself. Examples include providing an outlet for potential customers to phone or write for further information; or offering a discount or incentive to purchase a product, valid upon presentation of the advertisement. These processes en­able the operator to determine: 1) where a customer heard about the product; 2) customer characteristics including their wants and needs; 3) customer contact details that can be re­tained in the database for future direct mail campaigns and surveys, 4) customer perceptions of the advertisement and product and subsequent experience with the product; and 5) customer suggestions to improve product appeal.
The growing power of the Internet, mobile technology and
smart phones has offered new advertising forms in tourism and hospitality industry. Internet access via mobile devices regis­tered growing popularity. Tourism and hotel companies that have recognized the importance of choices for advertising via mobile phones at a faster and easier way can reach to guests.
One of the best ways to generate online presence is
through blogger outreach. By hosting bloggers in their coun­try businesses can have them promote the tourism industry on the internet with articles and hashtags on social media.

It is not a secret that having a professionally renovated website is a key to drawing in the contemporary tourist. People want to see high quality photographs with detailed descriptions and cost breakdowns before they make a decision on where they want to travel. The website should be professionally designed and maintained in order to draw in the most trafc.
The value of online reservations and payment are highly underrated. If individuals can pay for their hotel room as well as book recreational activities online they will be far more like­ly to be interested in the area. Offering 24 hour booking and payment will make the business accessible and up-to-date.
Public relations differ from other marketing tools –main­ly advertising – in communicating messages because it is the public relations that best creates the launch of a brand, as it has a greater credibility. Moreover, public relations are quite inexpensive compared to advertising.
Public relations are becoming one of the most important parts of marketing and sales functions of tourism as its de­nition includes promoting improved understanding between operators and their public. Images are built and created by public relations through print media, word of mouth, and the attitude of the targeted audience. If done properly, potential tourists will know how they will benet, learn and grow from visiting a particular site or event.
The tour operators may utilise public relations in or­der to evaluate the market demand, create additional sales opportunities in the competitive market, and to reinforce quality of a product against adverse publicity. But the most common tools used in this industry are: 1) press re­leases; for example Hotel PR practitioners attract travel writers through well-written news releases and creative e-mail “pitches” designed to persuade reporters to visit.
2) fact sheets; when journalists are in the hotel, the PR man­ager should be certain that the journalists’ rooms are fur­nished with a complete fact sheet (or press kit) containing information on every detail; 3) web sites.
