A one-way conversation with consumers in destination branding was pervasive when destination-marketing organizations created and generated their destination brands. However, social media has made a two-way conversation possible with consumers participating in the development of a destination brand identity/image. This study investigates consumer perception of destination brands created by consumer-generated videos and destination-marketing organization videos. The findings suggest that consumer-generated videos do not carry the same destination brand as destination marketer-generated videos. In addition, consumer-generated videos have little positive impact on a destination brand. This study provides insight into destination-branding strategies with respect to the roles that social media plays in creating destination-brand identity and image.

As competition among destinations has intensified, researchers have increasingly advocated for a market-oriented approach to destination marketing. Unfortunately, the unique stakeholder structure of the destination marketing environment precludes a direct application of the traditional market orientation paradigm to this domain. Accordingly, the purpose of this research is to empirically develop an operational definition of the market orientation construct that can be applied to destination marketing organizations. Based on the tenets of stakeholder theory, this research proposes a multiple-stakeholder view of the marketing concept and develops its attendant operational construct. Referred to herein as a multistakeholder market orientation (MSMO), this construct is proposed and operationalized as reflective of the extent to which a destination marketing organization (DMO) implements the marketing concept across the stakeholder spectrum. The nomological validity of this construct is established by testing the effect of the proposed MSMO construct on DMO performance.

The purpose of this research is to assess user engagement for a video-based social media campaign by a destination marketing organization (DMO). A case study methodology was applied to examine the Tourism Toronto video-based campaign of 2017 on Instagram and Twitter. Social interactions were analyzed to compare the relative engagement rates across platforms. This determined that Instagram had a higher relative engagement rate compared to Twitter. Instagram can be considered as a more desirable tool for DMOs to share videos digitally. The limited sample size presents research limitations through potentially not representing a larger population opinion’s on the content. It enables practical implications for destination marketers who have limited resources by highlighting that Instagram may be a preferred channel over Twitter due to higher engagements rates. There is a lack of research on the comparison of relative engagement rates from an academic perspective and this is the first study to explore the topic for a video-based marketing campaign in the DMO industry.

Pemanfaatan situs web sebagai sarana pemasaran pariwisata telah diadopsi oleh berbagai Destination Marketing Organization (DMO) di seluruh dunia, namun situs web yang telah diimplementasi harus dievaluasi untuk melihat apakah situs web tersebut efektif untuk menunjang kegiatan promosi pariwisata. Penelitian sebelumnya telah mengembangkan model evaluasi ICTRT (information, communication, transaction, relationship, technical merit) untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas situs web DMO. Namun model evaluasi ICTRT dikembangkan hanya untuk mengevaluasi situs web konvensional yang biasa dilihat pada perangkat komputer desktop, sehingga kurang tepat digunakan untuk mengevaluasi situs web khusus tampilan seluler. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan model ICTRT yang dapat digunakan untuk mengevaluasi situs web DMO yang didesain untuk tampilan perangkat seluler, yang diberi nama model ICTRT for mobile. Model ICTRT for mobile selanjutnya digunakan untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas situs web DMO negara Indonesia pada tampilan perangkat seluler. Hasil yang peroleh bahwa situs web DMO negara Indonesia pada tampilan perangkat seluler masih menunjukkan efektivitas yang kurang memuaskan khususnya pada dimensi transaction dan relationship
