Tourism destinations are fast emerging as umbrella brands and they are increasingly being promoted in the global marketplace as one entity for each target market they try to attract. The emerging globalization and concentration of supply increase the level of competition and require new marketing strategies for destinations.
In this context, it is necessary for a city to have a marketing strategy for attracting tourism. If the city aims to host tourists in a way that leads to economic growth while balancing the needs of the citizens of the city, then a structured and coordinated approach - a marketing strategy - is the optimal approach to achieving these goals.
Online marketing is the process of putting a product or business in front of more than 200 million regular Internet users looking for services and information online. It is the process of turning a Web site into a powerful medium to maximize business and sales potential. Online marketing is a very cost-effective method of driving targeted traffic to a web site i.e. reaching and acquiring customers. Destination marketing is a segment of this itself.
