There would be no future Destination Jacmel if it were not for the past that shaped its landscape and left a rich and textured patrimoine, the ever-present history and colonial buildings whose doors stand ready to open today. Aiyti, land of tall mountains and Jakmèl, its southern coastal capital, have been home to Taino, Spanish, Africans and French, a stage for Toussaint Louverture and Alexandre Pétion, and a fertile ground for tobacco, cane, sugar, indigo, cigars, coffee...and a multi-faceted artistry that expresses itself with startling originality in every medium.

How to transform research results into the advertising message: The example o...Premier Publishers
This study demonstrates to advertising and marketing planners how they can transform consumer research results into the advertising message. There are three main points in the advertising strategy: “the target group (to or with whom are we going to communicate?), the advertising objectives (why are we going to communicate or what are we trying to reach?) and the message strategy (what are we going to communicate?)” (De Pelsmacker, et al., 2010: 215). Generating the advertising message strategy is one of the most challenging stages of the advertising planning. This study adopts a practical perspective to advertising strategies using a study analysis of a small tourism business that manages in attracting niche visitor segments to Artisanal Tours within the tourism market in Morocco.

3. Introduction:
Creative Tourism is a growing field that has been generating each time more fans in the world. These want to take part
in an artistic and creative activity, so that they can discover the destination’s culture, sharing pleasant moments with
the residents.
Blowing glass in Biot (French Riviera), dancing Rumba in Barcelona, baking “croissant” in Paris, performing a concert in
a church in Rome, participating in a cooking class in Galicia or in Bangkok, weaving according to Mayan Tradition or
finally producing chill out music in Ibiza, they are only some of the many unique experiences promoted by Creative
Tourism Network® - International Network for the Promotion of Creative Tourism, whose details are provided in this
dossier.
Please, let us give you further details about the Creative Tourism concept:
It appeared in 2000, in Greg Richards and Crispin Raymond’s research, with this definition:
‘‘Tourism which offers visitors the opportunity to develop their creative
potential through active participation in courses and learning experiences,
which are characteristic of the holiday destination where they are taken.’
Crispin Raymond and Greg Richards (2000).
Creative Tourism Network® Page 3

4. Creative Tourism is recognised as a new generation of tourism by involving the tourists in creative activities
with the local population.
The markets segmentation has led to the creation of a new tourist, no longer attracted by the general
characteristics of the destination, rather by its specific offers and services.
There are endless ways of living and tourism, among others wine tourism, language tourism, slow tourism and
congress tourism. The creative tourism is one of them.
Considering this hyper-specialization, the tourist will be demanding singular experiences, which will be decisive in the
choice of the destination.
The growing interest of tourists in this new way to discover a culture regards particularly the operators and branding
managers, attentive to the possibility of attracting a quality tourism, highlighting the intangible heritage (craft
workshops, cooking classes, etc. .) and optimizing the use of existing infrastructure (for example, through the rent of
halls and auditorium).
Creative tourism offers many advantages, among which we can mention:
The opportunity to open up to a quality tourism, optimizing existing tangible and intangible heritage
(traditions, crafts, artists,...), as well as infrastructure, cultural centres, monuments, etc..
Its positive effect on the self-confidence of the local people: indeed, the interest of creative tourists for the
local culture goes beyond the mere sightseeing, as they want to "experience it” by meeting its inhabitants.
Its deseasonalizing character allows the attraction of tourists all year long.
The geographical outsourcing. The minor interest of creative tourists in traditional "tourist attractions"
contributes to a better spatial distribution within the destination. A creative tourist who goes to Barcelona for
a second time, for example, is not visiting again emblematic buildings, but will probably “living the daily life” of
the neighbourhood where he’s developing his creative activity.
The ability to mix perfectly with other tourism segments such as food tourism, language tourism, wine
tourism, slow tourism, etc, which allows creating economies of scale and synergies.
"Creative tourism is a projection of a new tourism in which natural, cultural and
personal resources are not manipulated and exploited but valued and enriched".
(Jelincic and Zuvela, 2012).
Creative Tourism Network® Page 4
www.creativetourismnetwork.org
5. Who are the creative tourists?
It is difficult to paint a standard portrait of this new tourist who, by definition, wants to be unique!
They can be a tourist travelling alone, as a couple, with his family or group.
They can organize themselves their trip or contract specialized tour operators.
Their creative activities can refer to the learning (courses, workshops), the creation (artistic trip, co-creation
with local artists) or the representation (performing concert, acting, exhibiting).
We could provide a lot of examples like the one of a group going to Biot (French Riviera), to make a pottery workshop
and enjoying the exceptional “Provence way of life” or even a person who wants to approach the Maya culture by
taking part in a textile workshop in Guatemala, and then an American orchestra that rents a prestigious auditorium in
Barcelona to perform a concert and invite the Barcelonans to it ... etc.
On the other hand, if we consider the reasons that lead the visitor to choose this type of creative journey, we
can observe a recent development. Until five years ago the tourist was a creative person who practiced an artistic
activity in the country of residence and wanted to improve it during the holidays (e.g. painting courses, dance, guitar,
etc.), now there is a new trend, so tourists generally add to their traditional program of visits more creative and
participatory activities, with the aim of living cultural and human experiences.
General outlines of creative tourists:
They want to experience the local culture by participating in artistic and creative activities.
They want experiences whereby they can feel themselves part of the destination.
They do not look for the "monumentality" or the "spectacular" or "superlative".
They are prosumers and share their experiences on social medias.
They are exclusive regarding the way of travelling: once experienced the creative tourism, they no longer want
to come back to a conventional circuit.
They spend a substantial part of the budget for the fulfilment of these activities / experiences.
They usually combine many kinds of tourism, during the same journey: creative, culinary, eco-tourism, slow
tourism.

6. Creative Tourism Network®,
International Network for the Promotion of Creative Tourism.
Creative Tourism Network® was founded in Barcelona in 2010 by the Fundació Societat i Cultura (FUSIC), that also created
the Barcelona Creative Tourism pioneering platform in 2005.
The network’s main purpose is to promote creative tourism by fostering synergies among destinations that have a potential to
welcome those new travellers willing to live artistic and human experiences.
We can count among our members many destinations, like Barcelona, Biot, Louvre-Lens, Austria, Ibiza, Bangkok, Paris, Galicia,
Guatemala, etc.
“Creative tourism is developing rapidly and it does not conform to one single model or perspective, but is rather open
and flexible in its adaptation to local context”
(Richards and Marques, 2012)
(Richards and Marques, 2012)
“The networks are important in the sense that they join together (glocal) partners with different interests, in this case
from the tourism field, the cultural and creative industries and government.”
(Richards and Marques, 2012)
