Storytelling: A Definition

 The Ancient Art of passing down
knowledge & information through
anecdotal tales.
 Bringing people, places, experiences
and our senses to life in the mind’s eye.
 In terms of travel, think Destination
Brand Storytelling.
Digital Storytelling


 Two-way communication, not
broadcasting.
 Multi-Platform.
 Immediate and Long Lasting.
•A More Personal Voice & Tone.
Trust.
Why is this effective? Blog comments
 “You guys are the perception busters, from Iran to Egypt your perspective
 is one I can trust and am glad to see the positive sides of these countries
           versus everything you always read in headlines.” - Matt


  “Great observation. It seems that our similarities are greater than our
     differences. Too bad these types of observations are limited to
     travellers. The media images seen by general public can be so
                           skewed.” - Michaela


    “A very reassuring post on a destination that I’ve thought about for a
                        long time.” – Andrew Gould


      “Wonderful. Egypt has been in my dreams for awhile. I hope I’ll
                   manage to go this year.” - Angela
Quantitative & Qualitative Metrics

            Twitter Reach:




     Facebook Reach: 14,000+

Monthly Blog Reach: ~100,000 unique
              visitors
From Challenge to Opportunity

 It's not about:
   telling them its safe, that's propaganda
   a list of nice and beautiful things
 It is about
   addressing prospective visitors' concerns
   placing people at the center of addressing that concern
   telling stories that make the point about safety
   providing information that helps putting things in perspective, in broader
   context
• How: through agents with communities that trust them, agents that can tell a
good story, an effective story
Why Is This Important?
Thank You!

Editor's Notes

  1. ----- Meeting Notes (4/26/12 10:13) ----- 1) Welcome 2) Title + names 3) Thank you 4) Before we get started, tell you a story
  2. Feedback came from every channel We are not about placing readers in harm’s way – NEVER compromise on safety
  3. It’s a story, It might be “the” story, but it’s not the full story. For destinations suffering difficult news cycles, for DMOs and tourism boards, it’s up to you to get that full story out. In addition to the example story from our first visit,
  4. Thanks for ETA for forethought and innovation and and UNWTO for their support #WeVisitEgypt
  5. Connects audience with destination in moment More than just an impression. Plants the seed: “I want to learn more” Changes minds: “Never thought of X destination, but now I’m interested” Greater longevity
  6. Thanks to the organizers at UNWTO and the Egyptian Tourism Authority
