Case Study: Engaging Visualisation and Enrichment of Complex Tourism Data

The joint-stock company "Garda Dolomiti S.p.A. - Azienda per il Turismo", based in Riva del Garda, is responsible for the marketing & promotion of the area's image. The company's tasks include information services, marketing initiatives, expansion of the tourist offer, and also the maintenance of the ecological, cultural, and historical heritage.

Marketing Factory developed the product "DestiSuite" with the support of qualified experts from the tourism industry. DestiSuite is a collection of configurable modules that help DMOs achieve their advertising and marketing goals. This combines the best of both worlds: native integration of data on the website via APIs and lower costs compared to an individual implementation thanks to an "as-a-service" approach.

Challenge: digital transformation of the tourism industry

Digital transformation increasingly affects the tourism sector resulting in changing needs of the industry's stakeholders. Especially digital services and products are gaining importance and are consequently transforming supply and demand across the global market. Marketing Factory's experience from various tourism projects proved that the data landscape in the tourism sector is still very unstructured. Consequently, there is a great need for support in the development of digital tourism offers. Therefore, the challenge was to use data from different sources to map the variety of touristic offers and benefits and present them properly. This resulted in the development of the "DestiSuite".
