Tourism orgs: the money is in shoulder season.

Peak season sells out without you. Your job is the eight weeks on either side.

· 7 min read

Destination marketing budgets tend to peak alongside visitation, which is exactly backwards. Peak weeks are already full. Marginal spend there moves nothing.

Shift budget into shoulder weeks with itinerary-led content: three days, real prices, real distances. Partner with the operators who have the most inventory to lose.

For markets like Miami, drive-market and regional flights respond to different messages than long-haul. Segment by trip cost, not by age.
