The document summarizes observations from visits to several retail stores - Apple Store, Bouchon Bakery, Chrome, Williams Sonoma, and Godiva. Key observations are provided for each store related to atmosphere, branding, displays, music, staff, and opportunities. The stores effectively established their brands through lighting, layout, fonts, textures and other design elements. Staff were generally helpful but Godiva staff were described as rude. Minor opportunities were identified such as relocating the coffee at Bouchon or separating holiday items at Godiva.
Luke's Locker and Barnes & Noble were the most effective at welcoming customers and selling goods based on store visits. Luke's Locker had a pleasant central aisle with a painted sky ceiling, making customers feel free. Barnes & Noble was well-merchandised with opportunities in selling more Legos and Melissa & Doug products. Sur La Table, Ann Taylor, Starbucks, and Chicos were less effective at accomplishing their goals, with missed opportunities around product placement or inviting atmospheres.
The document summarizes observations from visits to six retail stores: Luke's Locker, Barnes & Noble, Sur La Table, Ann Taylor, Starbucks, and Chicos. It finds that Luke's Locker and Barnes & Noble did the best job of welcoming customers and selling goods, while Starbucks and Chicos were less inviting. Specific opportunities for improvement are identified at each store, such as better displaying hot selling items or utilizing space more effectively.
The document proposes transforming the Savannah History Museum into an immersive experience where visitors travel back in time. It involves building a mini replica of old Savannah with dirt roads and buildings where actors dressed as historical figures go about daily tasks. Visitors interact with objects and spaces in exhibits that look like real places from the past. A tower allows overlooking the future city. The experience aims to educate visitors in an entertaining way through interactions with characters and skits.
Colonial Leisure Group transformed the former home of The West Australian newspaper into Print Hall, a multi-level food and drink destination in Perth. The building had been abandoned for 25 years but after a $25 million restoration project led by Leeda Projects, Print Hall now offers four unique dining experiences across its levels, maintaining some of the building's original features. Print Hall has raised the bar for food and beverage in Perth and has become a landmark destination within the redeveloped Brookfield Place precinct.

Annapolis Digby: Roger Brooks Tourism Assessment - Part IKathleen Shea
A report prepared by tourism consultant Roger Brooks of the Seattle-based firm Destination Development Inc.
Part I: Roger's introductory comments, and remarks pertaining to Digby, Neck and Islands.
This document summarizes observations from locations visited during a limited time creativity assignment. It describes the main atrium of Charlotte Douglas Airport as having a relaxing garden-inspired shopping area amid travel chaos. A fashion and compassion store in Franklin, TN was inspiring and uplifting, selling unique handmade items to benefit makers. A Kangaroo Express gas station had friendly service and appealing design features like road map wallpaper that made it pleasant to visit unlike boring gas stations. The assignment showed opportunities to design more relaxing public spaces and cause-driven retail stores.
The document discusses perceptions of history and museums and provides suggestions for the Danish Canadian National Museum. It notes that "history" has negative connotations but stories engage minds. While "museum" indicates authentic artifacts, expectations may not be met. The museum's location presents challenges attracting visitors. Suggestions include becoming a heritage center to broaden offerings and focusing on stories online and in traveling exhibits to reach wider audiences.

- An outline of topics to be covered, such as Halifax's location, history, culture, weather, local customs, shopping, dining, sights to see, and transportation.
- Sample slides on Halifax's history, culture, weather, customs, attractions and activities both in and outside the city.
This document provides vocabulary, questions, and expressions for describing places. It includes terms for locations, atmospheres, activities, areas within towns, types of buildings and places, shops, houses, and links to additional resources. The purpose is to equip the reader with language for discussing different locations, what they are like, and what there is to see and do.

Speaker notes to accompany our presentation about our work in the 22013-14 financial year
http://www.slideshare.net/VisitMosselBay/mossel-bay-tourism-dmo
My hometown has several landmarks including an old church in the center of town. The architecture of the buildings in the center are over 200 years old and made from local sandstone. There is also a famous rugby club nearby. The public transportation includes a new subway system with 3 lines that is cleaner and more convenient than buses. The surrounding countryside has small villages and a new tire factory that employs many locals.
The document provides practice with describing cities, making comparisons, and responding to suggestions. It includes prompts to refuse or accept suggestions and examples of comparisons between cities like London, Edinburgh, and Manchester. Students are asked to complete phrases, write responses, and have sample dialogues on various travel-related topics like accommodation, activities, and restaurants.
The document outlines the Inner Circle's content initiatives for local newsrooms, which include in-depth news stories, lists, photo galleries, and regional/FOIA projects. It provides requirements for each type of content. For in-depth stories, it requires at least two sources and that they are reporter-driven rather than from press releases. It also provides guidance on writing styles and topics for in-depth stories and lists. The goal is to produce more engaging local content that readers want.

The purpose seems to be analyzing these businesses for opportunities or areas for improvement.
This document provides an overview of Shrewsbury's new branding strategy. The branding aims to highlight the unique and quirky "one-offs" that can be found throughout the town in order to entice more visitors to stop in Shrewsbury. The branding elements include a logo, graphic pattern, font, and color palette. Photos used in marketing will showcase these one-off people, places and things. Local businesses are encouraged to use a stamp highlighting how their offering is a "Shrewsbury one-off." Guidance is provided on tone and language to authentically portray the town's distinctiveness rather than using generic marketing language. The goal is for Shrewsbury's uniqueness to shine through

Suzanne Gibson 'Making Change in a Volunteer Run Museum'Ann Baillie
The manager of the Cairns Historical Society Museum summarizes efforts to make changes at the volunteer-run museum to make it more relevant and engaging for the local community. Planning work over the past two years included developing a new strategic plan, collection policy, and thematic surveys. Community engagement activities like a mobile history trailer helped get feedback. Reflections on the process note both successes in gaining funding and support for changes, as well as ongoing challenges around resources and buy-in. Overall, volunteers and stakeholders recognize positive changes but some work remains to fully modernize the museum's displays and operations.
The document outlines the pre-production process for a travel magazine, including choosing locations in the UK and Ibiza to feature, developing a style guide for photos, text and layouts, planning article topics and information, targeting the magazine to higher-income readers, and considering equipment, budget, and health and safety needs for the photoshoots. Location recces are not needed as the photographer already has access to the shots required.

Un viaje a Buenos Aires y sus alrededoresJudy Hochberg
A travelogue of my recent trip to Argentina, most to Buenos Aires, but including excursion to Iguazú waterfalls, Tigre, and Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay
36. Only 4% of visitor stay at B&B’s. You can remove resistance by
offering “come in and take a no obligation look.”
37. Add a brochure holder outside
the door with the invitation to
take a look.
B&B rules:
Private baths?
Internet access?
24 hour access?
In room amenities?
38. This is very creative. Add an interpretive display telling about this
“work of art.”
39. Ever open? If so, invite us back! Tell us WHEN you will be open.
61. Suggestion: Make it a sign rather
than an ad. “Tours 3 times daily.
Starting right here. 10:00 - 1:00 -
3:00”
Then include one small paragraph
of what participants can expect.
Include the cost.
62. We wanted to borrow these folks’ front porch. Looks so inviting!
63. The park is stunning and a “must visit” - anchor - site.
64. The interpretive panels and stories (in the museum) are fascinating,
but some primary elements are totally missing...
78. Suggestions:
Have one panel for locals
One panel for events
One with brochure
distribution
One panel with primary
attractions
Avoid the bulletin board look
79. This is just not that appealing for
visitors - or even local residents.
89. Does anybody care?
Suggestion: Move the visitor
center out of here into a much
more desirable location - in the
heart of Annapolis Royal.
Even other visitors left
disappointed.
90. Suggestion: The power company should be embarrassed by this. It
should be a showcase, not an eyesore. Alert the press.
121. Overall a little disappointing. This could be a terrific attraction given
more interpretive signage - even voice over information. Technology
could make this a great attraction.
122. Where does this go? Suggestion: Add signage. Connect the dots.
127. Pros:
• Good photography

Suggestions:

142. Our secret shoppers all picked The Digby Pines. They had no idea
about the ownership. A terrific, exceptional staff here.
143. The province should make sure
investment in the resort is a
top priority. This is a draw in
and of itself.
144.
145. Pros:
• Good map
• Descriptions are enticing
Suggestions:
• Use more experiential photos

146.
147. Pros:

• Activities by season - excellent
• Excellent photography
Suggestions:
• Far too large of an area - can it be
divided up somehow?
• Add maps of each region
• Include key on map of towns,
attractions
• Hotel listings lack information
• Don’t just promote members
• Include everyone that meets a
minimum standard of quality
148. Pros:
• A good idea and a good map
Suggestions:
• Format is awkward
• Same map on both sides. Why?
• Put ads in numerical order
149. Pros:
