A destination marketing representative (or “rep”) is your destination’s tourism ambassador within a certain region who can effectively reach local consumers, outbound operators, and local media – all in an effort to drive destinations sales and increase visitation.

It is ultimately about improving the target region’s image and making it more appealing to foreign visitors. Why is Country Marketing Important?

Think about the attraction sites that would draw people and tempt them to pay a visit. For example, you can pinpoint the must-see sites of Cyprus, the birthplace of Aphrodite...
