Michael Collins #TBEX presentation - Bloggers; Working with Travel PRs and To...TravelMedia.ie
You’ve sent numerous emails, you’ve pitched to the best of your abilities, you’ve even followed up with phone calls BUT you still seem to be getting nowhere with that PR person or Tourist Board representative. You may have even already featured their client in an article or blog post but now the conversation has suddenly gone quiet. Why?
Unfortunately there are usually a number of reasons why you are not getting the results you had hoped for – all of which I plan to tell you about in my TBEX speaker session. Working as a travel PR, with a background in journalism and publishing, I am lucky to have stood on both sides of the fence when it comes to media/PR relationships.
Let’s begin with the obvious – first impressions count! Travel PRs receive numerous media requests and pitches on a daily basis so you need to make sure that you spark their interest and stand out from the crowd. Saying that, standing out from the crowd is only beneficial if it is in a positive way.
In the case of Travel PRs and Tourist Boards the first impression normally IS the last impression.
Travel PR’s are somewhat like elephants – they never forget and they have long memories so make sure your first encounter is a positive one.
Here are some tips on how to ensure you are remembered for the right reasons:
1. Manners cost nothing – Be polite and courteous. It will stand to you.
2. Do your research – know our clients and how we work.
3. Be pitch perfect – have your pitch prepared and ready. This is guaranteed to impress.
Once you have passed this first hurdle and built a relationship you then need to make sure you maintain it. Having a good working relationship with Travel PRs and Tourist Boards is essential as it will ensure the following:
1. Invites are being sent for a press trip to a far off location. Travel PRs and Tourist Boards are likely to think of people that they know and have had positive experiences with – make sure you are one of them!
2. Media outlets often liaise with PRs when they are in need of a travel specific journalist for a feature, TV slot or radio interview – if you have impressed in the past then they are sure to recommend you.
3. Need a favour? You’ll be in luck, but only if you have built up a good relationship.
Yes I know, it’s all well and good knowing how to maintain this working relationship – but how do you go about building it? During my speaker session at TBEX Dublin I shared some real-life examples with the audience of good and bad approaches and dealings between media and Travel PRs and Tourist Boards - have a look through this presentation to find out more.

Exploring Factors Affecting the Success of TVET-Industry Partnership: A Case ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to explore factors affecting the success of TVET-industry
partnerships. A case study design of the qualitative research method was used to achieve this objective. For the
study, one polytechnic college of Oromia regional state, and two industries were purposively selected. From the
sample polytechnic college and industries, a total of 17 sample respondents were selected. Out of 17
respondents, 10 respondents were selected using the snowball sampling method, and the rest 7 respondents were
selected using the purposive sampling technique. The qualitative data were collected through an in-depth
interview and document analysis. The data were analyzed using thematic approaches. The findings revealed that
TVET-industry partnerships were found weak. Lack of key stakeholder‟s awareness shortage of improved
training equipment and machines in polytechnic colleges, absence of trainee health insurance policy, lack of
incentive mechanisms for private industries, lack of employer industries involvement in designing and
developing occupational standards, and preparation of curriculum were some of the impediments of TVETindustry partnership. Based on the findings it was recommended that the Oromia TVET bureau in collaboration
with other relevant concerned regional authorities and TVET colleges, set new strategies for creating strong
awareness for industries, companies, and other relevant stakeholders on the purpose and advantages of
implementing successful TVET-industry partnership. Finally, the Oromia regional government in collaboration
with the TVET bureau needs to create policy-supported incentive strategies such as giving occasional privileges
of duty-free import, tax reduction, and regional government recognition awards based on the level of partnership
contribution to TVET institutions in promoting TVET-industry partnership.

The Challenges of Good Governance and Project Implementation in Nigeria: A Re...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : This study reveals that systemic corruption and other factors including poor leadership,
leadership recruitment processes, ethnic and regional politics, tribalism and mediocrity, poor planning, and
variation of project design have been the causative factors that undermine projects implementation in postindependence African states, particularly in Nigeria. The study, thus, argued that successive governments of
African states, using Nigeria as a case study, have been deeply engrossed in this obnoxious practice that has
undermined infrastructure sector development as well as enthroned impoverishment and mass poverty in these
African countries. This study, therefore, is posed to examine the similarities in causative factors, effects and
consequences of corruption and how it affects governance, projects implementation and national growth. To
achieve this, the study adopted historical research design which is qualitative and explorative in nature. The
study among others suggests that the governments of developing countries should shun corruption and other
forms of obnoxious practices in order to operate effective and efficient systems that promote good governance
and ensure there is adequate projects implementation which are the attributes of a responsible government and
good leadership. Policy makers should also prioritize policy objectives and competence to ensure that policies
are fully implemented within stipulated time frame.

ABSTRACT: Although a significant amount of literature exists on Morocco's migration policies and their
successes and failures since their implementation in 2014, there is limited research on the integration of subSaharan African children into schools. This paperis part of a Ph.D. research project that aims to fill this gap. It
reports the main findings of a study conducted with migrant children enrolled in two public schools in Rabat,
Morocco, exploring how integration is defined by the children themselves and identifying the obstacles that they
have encountered thus far. The following paper uses an inductive approach and primarily focuses on the
relationships of children with their teachers and peers as a key aspect of integration for students with a migration
background. The study has led to several crucial findings. It emphasizes the significance of speaking Colloquial
Moroccan Arabic (Darija) and being part of a community for effective integration. Moreover, it reveals that the
use of Modern Standard Arabic as the language of instruction in schools is a source of frustration for students,
indicating the need for language policy reform. The study underlines the importanceof considering the
children‟s agency when being integrated into mainstream public schools.

Non-Financial Information and Firm Risk Non-Financial Information and Firm RiskAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: This research aims to examine how ESG disclosure and risk disclosure affect the total risk of
companies. Using cross section data from 355 companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange, data regarding
ESG disclosure and risk was collected. In this research, ESG and risk disclosures are measured based on content
analysis using GRI 4 guidelines for ESG disclosures and COSO ERM for risk disclosures. Using multiple
regression, it is concluded that only risk disclosure can reduce the company's total risk, while ESG disclosure
cannot affect the company's total risk. This shows that only risk disclosure is relevant in determining a
company's total risk.
KEYWORDS: ESG disclosure, risk disclosure, firm risk

3. Tourism Ambassadors
• Chris Hemsworth – Australia
• Jackie Chan – Hong Kong
• Song Joong-ki – South Korea
• Nielsen survey conducted for Tourism Australia revealed that the
Chris Hemsworth’s star power helped the advertisement perform
better with target audiences than other campaigns – 2016
5. Celebrity endorsement
• Celebrity Twitter tweets used by South Australian Tourism
Commission to market Kangaroo Island
• The tourism commission is paying celebrities AU$ 750 per tweet
to lure visitors to the island
• "Bring on Kangaroo Island. Saw the TV ad last night and makes
me wish I was visiting sooner rather than later." - Matt Moran,
@chefmattmoran, March 28, 2012
6. Celebrity endorsement
• High achievers (more expensive)
• Believable and credibility
(honesty/testimonial)
• Is known/popular (familiarity)
• Is likable/admired (regional
implications)
• Is recognizable (protective
equipment/costumes)
• Ease of recall (TOMA)
• Is congruent with the target
market (lifestyle)
• Is physically attractive (higher
ratings)
• Continuity (risks involved)
13. Return intentions
• Intention to return is often used as a surrogate measure for
actual repeat visit based on the premise that without intentions
people will not act
• Inconsistencies due to an overestimation of the likelihood that
travellers will engage in actual behaviour
• When travellers are asked to envision a future action, they tend
to report their desires instead of their intentions
• Intent to return may be a better reflection of satisfaction than
any real future behaviour
McKercher, B. & Tse, T. (2012) Journal of Travel Research 51(6) 671-686
14. Return intentions
• Intentions may change over time - the greater the gap, the greater the
likelihood of change
• Intentions may be provisional, since travellers are not engaged in real
decision making during surveys (+ add time frame for accuracy)
• One certainty in tourism is that many will visit only once
• Measure intentions to recommend either off/online
McKercher, B. & Tse, T. (2012) Journal of Travel Research 51(6) 671-686
15. Production vs Consumption
• Over 50% of travellers consume information, but only 17%
actually produce content
• Those involved are more likely to produce, consume and share
their travel experiences online
• Those who are more engaged, the more likely they gain + report
a positive experience (co-creation)
• Encouraging travellers to produce social media in exchange for
incentives, discounts or coupons?
Amaro et al. (2016) Annals of Tourism Research (59) 1-15
16. Big data
• Powerful for analysing trends and resolve issues quickly
• Collect, mine data and use such intelligence for customized
destination marketing campaigns
• Digital footprints provide opportunities to align offerings with
needs, enhance and customize travel services
• Monitor focus of attention, heart rate for degree of excitement
and position to improve safety and visitor flow

• Strengthen links with communities (businesses, policy
makers and universities) engaged with tourism development
• Establish networks to generate new knowledge and
implement actions collaboratively to create mutual benefits
