Three types of promotion are informative, persuasive, and reminder.
The effectiveness of these three types varies by the visitor’s buying process stage and the stage in the product life cycle (PLC).
The promotional mix elements are advertising, personal selling, sales promotion, merchandising, and public relations and publicity. Internet marketing now adds further impact to these five traditional promotional elements.
National tourist offices focus mainly on inbound tourism. State, provincial, territorial, regional, and local tourist offices
focus mainly on domestic tourism.
