“I own and run a beach front boutique hotel in Costa Rica for 15 years. We are very successful and one of the main reasons I attribute that success is to having a background prior to my hotel career in marketing.
In tandem with the hotel, I own and run a small marketing company directed at tourism industry in Costa Rica (mainly hotels and tours). I do this because I still love marketing and the agency serves my hotel, tour company, restaurant, Gourmet supermarket etc.
Like Travelboom, I freely share my knowledge as I obtained that knowledge not only on my own experience, but from people like you who share that same philosophy.
I do not believe in competition. I believe in co-opetion. Every hotel, tourism business that does good marketing is marketing the destination of Costa Rica and benefits us all. Better yet, my own small beach town, if my local colleagues do good marketing, they are not only helping themselves, but making a big difference in the destination profile ultimately helping all other tourism businesses and ultimately the whole community.
I have been a casual listener to your podcast for a few years and have found them very insightful not only for my own business, but my colleagues and my clients at my tourism marketing company.
Keep up the great work and please know I reference your podcast wherever possible.
Pura Vida, Colin.”
