Interview

How important is Digital Marketing and Digital Distribution Channels for tourism destinations today?
“Building a destination brand without content and a digital universe would be impossible in today’s market.”

Which are the threats and opportunities for the travel industry from the digital technologies?
“The biggest threat is doing nothing. You will not know the opportunities unless you get your hands dirty early.”
