2 Table Topic: Tourism Sales International and Group Tour Markets Frequently Asked Questions How do I get a group tour to stay at my hotel or visit my attraction, restaurant or county? I m a small property. How do I work with a U.S. receptive tour operator to attract international visitors? What are groups looking for in a hotel or destination? How do I compete to get their business? 2
3 Top 10 Inbound Markets to the U.S Canada Mexico United Kingdom Japan Brazil China Germany France South Korea Australia *US Travel Association These travelers can go anywhere in the world, why Montana s Glacier Country? Montana has great sex appeal, but people don t know where they want to go, what to do or how to do it. We (all the Montana tourism entities) need to provide them with orientation and facilitation We need to tell them how they can experience it. Judy Randall, Randall Travel Marketing, Governor s Conference on Tourism,
4 International Tour Operators and/or Travel Agents A company overseas that creates and markets inclusive tours as a wholesaler or directly to clients Most specialize in fly-drive itineraries and utilize the services of U.S. receptive tour operators FIT Foreign independent travel couples or families more apt to travel throughout the year Stay in unique lodging U.S. Receptive Tour Operator A U.S. based company that markets and sells U.S. travel products (lodging/attractions) to international inbound travelers Middleman between international tour operators/travel agents that are overseas and local hotels and attractions in the United States 4
5 Why Work With A Receptive Operator? They have in-depth knowledge of an area or region They re-sell your product to other tour operators and overseas travel agents (i.e. your sales force) They work with smaller unique properties giving them an opportunity to provide their products to FIT (fly-drive) clients They can work with both group and FIT (fly-drive) clients U.S. Receptive Tour Operators When working with a U.S. receptive, offer your lowest rate Usually 25% to 30% off your rack rate Net rate: rate is marked up by receptive, tour operator and travel agent to cover distribution, promotion, etc. $100 rack rate (10% receptive, 10% operator, 10% agent) = $70 net rate International travel agents are selling it to client for $100 5
6 U.S. Receptive Tour Operators Attractions/outfitters offer discounts and accept vouchers Rocky Mountain Holiday Tours and America 4 You are our preferred U.S. receptive operators; specialize in the Rocky Mountain Region America 4 You L.L.C More Tips The U.S. receptive operators and international tour operators are our sales force in foreign countries The commission is paid only when the sale has been made, there is no cost otherwise Have prices available months in advance to be included in the receptive s tariff/brochure Bookings from international come in early/black out dates 6
7 More Tips International clients might research online but the majority still use tour operators due to insurance and unforeseen circumstances Trefalgar, ATI, Allied T Pro, GTA, Tourico Holidays, are other large well-known receptive operators Long-term commitment: 2 3 years at least Participate in FAMs (familiarization tours) Attend a tradeshow to promote your product to tour operators Rocky Mountain International Marketing partner of Rocky Mountain International (marketing consortium of Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota and South Dakota) RMI focuses primarily on UK, Germany, France, Italy, Benelux region (the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg) and the Nordic Region (Finland, Norway, Iceland, Denmark) Australia/New Zealand, Travel trade reps in those countries selling our region as the Real America Consider attending RMI Roundup if new to international (May 4 6 in Cody, Wyoming) 7

9 Welcoming the Chinese Visitor Yellowstone National Park currently Glacier National Park is next Cultural differences (just a few) New to travel, allowed to travel in 2008 Reputation of being loud, rude Food choices in your hotel, town, hot water/tea In room amenities: slippers, drying rack, small rice cooker Darkness is scary Signage Welcoming the Chinese Visitor Knowledge will alleviate frustration Let Glacier Country know if this market is part of your goal 9
10 Domestic Group Tour Market Why do we want motor coach tours in Montana? A motor coach spends an average of $5,000 to $7,000 per day in a community Lodging, attractions and activities, fuel, restaurants and retail Thousands of cars not driven, saving fuel, cutting emissions and reducing congestion It s a green way of travel Working with Tour Operators Set rates months in advance so they can package Rates include tax, resort, TBID fees Room breakdown (single, doubles) plus any additional charge for double occupancy Comp. room policy: standard is 1 complimentary room per 15 or 2 comps for 30+ rooms (bus driver & tour guide) Group tours are averaging between people 10
11 Working with Tour Operators Baggage handling: $4 per round trip (seniors, staffing) Motor coach parking/restaurant onsite or nearby Handicap access Advanced deposit and rooming/activity lists Cancellation fee and policy Tour Additions Hosted receptions with cookies/coffee, wine/cheese, gift (huckleberry something, chocolates, themed item) Train your front line staff. Know the community, cheat sheet (where have they been, where are they headed next) Know which restaurants offer group seating or offer coupons or discounts for groups (package) Build relationships 11
12 Surprise and Delight Attractions: what can you offer the tour operator to make their clients feel special? Special deal Behind the scene peek Back of house Surprise and Delight Communities work with local chamber or CVB to put a program together 3 and 3 Where are they going to eat breakfast, lunch, dinner 3 activities in between those eats Keep Glacier Country Tourism in the loop 12
13 Most Requested Authentic experiences Not Disneyland or Las Vegas Behind the scenes tours Can they meet someone, see something, experience something not everyone else is doing (artist, writer, historian, musician) Cowboy and American Indian experience Horseback ride, chuckwagon lunch or dinner, line dancing lessons, meet and greet with a wrangler, American Indian dancer, drummer, story teller Tour operators want an experience that their clients talk about and tell their friends Food for thought Seasonality in shoulder season Are attractions open Restaurants/retail Off-site venues Flights OPEN, OPEN, OPEN 13
