CTC unveils new resources for industry on corporate website

Let’s take a look inside the toolbox:

A new CTC Brand Standards Guide 3.0 takes users deep into the heart of Canada’s tourism brand. It’s the place to discover more about its mission, values and voice; to learn how CTC gives voice to those through its new branded materials; and how businesses of all shapes and sizes can adopt them, too.

We’ve rolled out a new series of case studies in the Signature Experiences Collection^®(SEC) section that capture SEC members’ perspectives on experiential tourism. Each case study examines a range of topics such as the type of visitors that the experience appeals to, partner involvement, marketing activities, how the experience helps showcase the diversity of Canada as a travel destination, advice for other businesses interested in experiential travel and lessons learned that will help to improve the SEC program.

The first seven off the production line are Arctic Range Adventure, Barkerville Historic Town, Edible Canada, Inniskillin, Heritage Park Historical Village, Great Spirit Circle Trail and Great Divide Nature Interpretation. Look out for more to come later this year.

Every picture tells a story runs the old truism; with that in mind, we have published training videos for the Canadian tourism industry. They cover the value of tradeshows such as Rendez-vous Canada and GoMedia Canada Marketplace, working with travel media, selling in international markets and tips on building experiences. Here’s a peek at one:

Our Explorer Quotient^® toolkit is undergoing a full overhaul, due for completion this summer. However, in the meantime we have updated the free EQ Profiles that provide useful intelligence on customers in six markets. They are invaluable for small businesses to learn about the core attitudes and travel motivations of their potential customers. Complementing the profiles and toolkit are also three case study videos, highlighting Canadian businesses that have used EQ research to make an impact. Coming soon: a new series of case studies that will cover how various provinces, territories and regions have applied EQ in their work.
