Travel Marketing in Florida

From Miami to Jacksonville to Orlando and Panama City, Florida business people know how important travel marketing is to their communities and their futures. Hotels, Resorts, Restaurants, Medical clinics, Marine businesses, tour companies, and others depend strongly on Florida's ability to draw tourists. When conducting searches for vacation destinations, Mexico, The Caribbean, Belize, Texas, and Cuba are becoming more prominent in search results. Travel destinations are growing in number yet are competing for basically the same set of traveling tourists. Some are creating new travel experiences to draw customers and offering unbelievable bargains, as we're seeing in Mexico as an example.

They Can't Find Us

Most searchers don't even know how many incredible destinations they could visit because they're not visible at the top of general searches on search engines such as Google and Yahoo. Search engines are all about popularity and too often, about money. Big resorts like Disneyworld can clog up the top search results and make smaller coastal resorts and hotels disappear. This leaves many Florida hotels, resorts and tourist attractions clamoring for a slight visibility against each other. Amidst the recession, many travel and tourism related businesses are finding they can't exposure on search engines.

The northern panhandle coastal area of Florida is beautiful, yet even few Florida vacationers know that. The region's marketers haven't been able to successfully expose this region and its assets to tourists who may actually be looking for something new.

If you're a travel agency, hotel or travel marketing business owner, you should be thinking about search engine marketing. Search engines provide the right exposure at the right time to consumers. Paid search engine advertising is expensive and has no residual value. Search engine optimization is more complex and takes more time to achieve results however it offers outstanding ROI and residual, ongoing value. Your website can be tremendous travel marketing asset.

Your site's content can be improved, expanded, and a much better online experience can be created for your visitors. Not only will Google and Yahoo bring more customers, but your site can actually generate up sales and encourage visitors to spread the word about your business, restaurant, hotel or resort.

US Travel to Increase

According to the annual summer travel forecast by the U.S. Travel Association. Americans are expected to take 322 million domestic leisure person-trips during June, July and August 2009. The Travelhorizons also revealed that nearly half of travelers will plan their trips and almost 40 percent will book it within two months of departure.

Florida is still the top travel destination in the world yet it is a more crowded travel market than ever. More hotels and resorts being built and cut throat pricing occurring means your revenue could fall over the next few years.

Search Engine marketing offers the lowest cost, highest reach solution. It is the best medium for small to medium sized Florida hotels, resorts, condo rental and other tourism related businesses. There's no crisis for those businesses with high rankings and wide visibility on Google and Yahoo.

If you have a condo rental business and you're relying on VRBO, vacationrentals.com, homeaway.com, or rentals.com or even hotels.com, you're chasing after a finite volume of leads which often are price sensitive vacationers. Why not jump the queue with SEO services?

By competing for the rankings for searches related to Florida or the city you're renting in, you can pick up the cream of the rent market crop before they get exhausted in their search and become too price conscious. This group of first exposure searchers are easier to sell to and easier to upsell.
