Dear all I am working on a paper tentatively called “Lessons Learned in Tourism Market Access Mechanisms”, and wondered if you and / or colleagues would mind sharing any papers or information on this with me?
If possible, I am looking for information related to tools, mechanisms and activities that seek to better connect tourism initiatives to the end market. I am looking for reviews, analysis, summaries and lessons learned from experiences with these initiatives. For example, we know that there have been lots of attempts to build websites – what has been their experiences? Successes? Failures? Do we have available any performance metrics for site, regional or national / international initiatives? Some examples that I'd be interested in learning more about include World Hotel Link and the Ecoindex. I would like to develop a paper identifying and sharing experiences, good practices, successes / failures for the broader tourism community, particularly in this time of economic uncertainty. Please feel free to email me directly with this information - please include "market access" in the subject line. With thanks -- Neel Inamdar http://www.neelinamdar.com
