Destination Marketing Strategy 1
Dear Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council,
write to formally request the following information under the Freedom of Information Act, pertaining to the destination marketing activities undertaken by the Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council over the past two years. I respectfully ask that all responses be provided in a detailed manner, supported where relevant by documentation, and any quantitative data be presented in an Excel format for clarity and further analysis. The specific points of enquiry are as follows:
In relation to trade show events
Outcome in Terms of Lead Generation and Business Development:
I am keen to understand the impact of these marketing efforts in terms of tangible outcomes. Specifically, how many leads or potential business opportunities have been generated as a direct result of attendance at the aforementioned events?
Additionally, could you provide insight into which sectors within the wider tourism industry in the borough have seen demonstrable benefits or positive impact as a result of these initiatives?
And proof ta these were sent to business in a timely fashion in which to deal with leads
Economic Impact Assessment:
Finally, I request an evaluation of the overall economic impact that has been gained as a result of the borough’s investment in these tradeshows and sales events.
Specifically, how does the council quantify the return on investment in terms of increased tourism spend, partnership development, or any other relevant economic metrics?
I appreciate your time and attention to this matter and respectfully request a response within the statutory timeframe, ensuring that all data is as comprehensive and precise as possible.
Yours faithfully,
John Patton
