Strategic Marketing Planning for Post-Pandemic Recovery

Online Course For Travel & Tourism Professionals

Will your marketing plan work for post-pandemic recovery?

Most of our marketing plans were designed for the world as it was.

As we prepare for the post-pandemic world, we know that things will not be as they were.

Re-tool your current planning to come into recovery armed with data and strategic thinking.

If you didn't use strategic planning before, you'll need one now.

Create a plan backed by research and prepared to come out of this stronger than ever.
