Things I’m good at

Sales & Marketing

Sales in tourism has changed a lot in recent years: online travel agents (OTA) have conquered the market.

I handle their online presence for a wide range of attractions and can connect your organisations to the biggest online sellers.

Do you want to strengthen your online presence and boost sales?

I provide a prominent, visible site and texts and images that convert visitors into sale.

Operational

With the same ease, with my hands on aproach, in addition to a sales approach, I set up an operation for you to properly direct visitor flows to your attraction.

In 2022, for example, I led the sales and operations of a bus tour from Amsterdam to the Keukenhof.

Result: more than 52,000 tickets sold and visitors who were guided and transported to and from Keukenhof carefree.

Sales trips and drives

I represent my clients at leading trade fairs such as the WTM, GEM and ITB.

There, I can personally introduce you and your organisation to my international network of tour operators and OTA’s and help you on the spot to make contact, generate leads and make great deals.

No time or budget to go to all the well-known trade shows yourself? I include your organisation in my portfolio of exclusive clients that I present on site.

Result: a report with all profits, leads and follow-up appointments.

Social Media Marketing

In addition to my sales activities, I can also handle your social media marketing.

For a number of my clients, I develop and post planned and structural, engaging content on Instagram and Facebook.

This way, I work on building organic reach and increase engagement with your posts.

If new content is needed, I can organise and supervise the production. In doing so, I do not hesitate to pick up the camera myself.
