DPS SEEKS INDUSTRY COLLABORATION TO DOUBLE OUR MARKETING INVESTMENT
Destination Port Stephens (DPS) released a new Membership and Partnership Marketing program offering opportunities for tourism businesses and stakeholders to work in partnership with DPS to drive growth to the visitor economy in Port Stephens.
A key focus is to undertake a major destination marketing campaign which requires DPS to work in collaboration with the tourism industry, local businesses and stakeholders. Port Stephens is not only competing with other NSW regions for the domestic tourist dollar but also with the rest of Australia. We want to define our regional identity, cementing Port Stephens as a must-visit destination for domestic tourists.
To achieve this we are asking local business to band together to invest in a new destination marketing campaign which will enable DPS to be eligible to attract dollar-for-dollar funding.
A number of industry partners have already committed to invest in the destination marketing campaign and if you are interested to find out more and would like to organise a time to meet with DPS please contact us on the email below.
We look forward to working together with you to build the brand and the demand for our unique tourism product.
