3 DEPARTMENT OF TOURISM AND MARKETING (VDTM) FISCAL YEAR 2014 BUDGET STRATEGIC OVERVIEW/PERFORMANCE INFORMATION STRATEGIC OVERVIEW 1. Mission To promote Vermont s travel, recreation, cultural and historic attractions, as well as the state s goods and services, in coordination with public and private sector partners and to market to a global audience in a manner consistent with the values and traditions of the state for the economic benefit of all Vermonters. VDTM s key objective is to increase awareness of the Vermont brand with the goals of increasing visitation to the state and encouraging the purchase of Vermont products and services. 2. Population Served The Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing has four primary population groups that are served. The first is businesses in Vermont that fall under the hospitality sector. This would be hotels, resorts, inns, B&B s, attractions, and businesses that provide hospitality services. The Department of Taxes collects the Meals and Rooms tax from more than 5,000 businesses. The second group served by the Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing are the residents of Vermont. The Department provides information services to residents informing them of activities happening around Vermont and encouraging them to participate in Vermont events, attractions, state parks, historic sites and many others. This in turn helps to support the businesses that provide these services. The third population served is the visitors to Vermont. The Department provides these visitors with information in order to help them make informed decisions to visit our state. In 2011, we estimate that Vermont hosted almost 14 million person trips. Vermont s tourism industry generates over $1 billion dollars in spending and directly supports over 37,000 jobs. It is very important that we continue to cater to our out of state visitors and remain competitive as a travel destination. The fourth population served by the Vermont Department of Tourism & Marketing is businesses that produce and provide goods and services. The Vermont Department of Tourism & Marketing serves not only the tourism sector, but represents the overall brand position of Vermont. By collaborating with Vermont manufacturers and producers of products and services the Vermont Department of Tourism & Marketing is able to enhance Vermont s already powerful reputation for quality in the marketplace. This depiction trickles into many of Vermont s business sectors including agricultural and value added products, existing Vermont brands and Vermont manufactured goods. Page 1 of 12
4 3. Outcomes and Measures Research: Research: A benchmark study to measure the impact of travel and tourism on the Vermont economy during 2011 was completed in 2013 by Chmura Economics & Analytics, Inc., under contract to VDTM. The benchmark, which is reconciled with independent economic measures, estimates that during 2012, $1.7 billion in direct spending by visitors making million person trips to Vermont generated $232.9 million in tax revenue to the State of Vermont. The 2012 benchmark study shows a positive recovery from the Great Recession of 2009 with a 19.4 percent increase in visitor spending and a 16.7 percent increase in the state revenue generated by that spending. Vermont s tourism industry supported an estimated 37,910 jobs during, approximately 13.1 percent of all jobs in Vermont. Recent component studies utilized in developing the benchmark report have focused on lodging establishments, Vermonters as visitors, second-home owners, and travel and tourism employees and proprietors. The benchmark study is performed on odd calendar years. Keeping on Target While reaching out to potential first time visitors is a significant part of tourism promotion, establishing relationships with visitors that encourage and sustain repeat visitation is probably more important than ever during a contraction of the larger economy. Our current research shows that about half of the people using VermontVacation.com are repeat visitors. Information gleaned from the Profile of the Vermont Online Visitor and an updated study of how the Vermont Brand is perceived by visitors and potential visitors in Vermont s major U.S. and Canadian markets help target marketing to potential new visitors and guides communications to previous visitors. The resources at VermontVacation.com, supplemented by regular communications to the more than 50,000 Vermont subscribers, are key to sustaining these relationships. Tourism Sector Makes Steady Recovery Despite the challenges of the Great Recession of 2009, Tropical Storm Irene, and the record warm winter of , Vermont s hospitality and recreation industry has continued the steady recovery that began during Visitor spending generates approximately 90 percent of the taxable receipts for room rentals and more than half of the sales for meals and alcohol: Page 2 of 12

6 Sales & Marketing: Markets: Key Northeast drive/fly markets include Washington DC, New York City, Boston, Albany, Hartford/New Haven, Springfield, Philadelphia and Quebec and Ontario (especially the metropolitan areas of Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa). Distant domestic markets (typically air travelers) are Florida, Texas, California and Illinois. Overseas international markets, where we make collaborative promotions through the Discover New England consortium of the six New England states, are the United Kingdom, Germany and France. Marketing Strategies: In FY 2013 the Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing brought all graphic design and media services in house. Led by VDTM s Deputy Commissioner the Department was able to hire talent and restructure the organization to develop an in house marketing team. This development has allowed the Department to redirect $175,000 previously spent on media production services into direct advertising for the State of Vermont. Mobile New initiatives for FY 13/14 include mobile advertising for Vermont. As consumers use of mobile devices has grown significantly over the last 3 years, users are relying on smart phones and tablets to conduct their travel research. The Department has invested in mobile display advertising to promote Vermont as a tourism destination through this channel. Television Cable and Dish Primary markets include New York City and Boston. Secondary markets include Hartford, New Haven, Providence, Springfield, Albany and Washington, D.C. Cable broadcast is purchased in high-density areas within key markets. Programming for TV and cable is targeted to reach the travel decision maker in the household. The Vermont Department of Tourism also purchased national advertising utilizing the Google Dish Network. This buy extended Vermont Tourism s reach to a national audience. Online VDTM continues to aggressively market Vermont online to new and repeat visitors in Montréal, New York City and Boston. We purchase online advertising in key markets by placing banner advertisements on high profile regional websites such as Boston.com, NewYorkTimes.com, MSNBC.com and Canada.com (Montréal Gazette). All banners drive traffic directly to VermontVacation.com. VDTM also continues to manage a robust pay-per-click campaign on both Yahoo and Google. Page 4 of 12
7 Radio VDTM utilizes radio broadcasting during the summer and fall media campaigns in primary markets and in our in-state resident awareness campaign. Promotions are broadcast through a variety of programming. VDTM purchases families of radio stations in primary markets that cover a broad demographic. Print Advertisements are placed in publications that attract readers interested in outdoor recreation, cultural heritage, unique lodging, fine dining and the Vermont experience. This media often goes beyond our key markets to reach an international audience. Out of Home Outdoor advertising in New York City and Boston is placed in high visibility, high income metropolitan areas to promote Vermont as an exceptional getaway destination. Opportunistic Media To stretch media dollars, we review last-minute opportunities with potential to deliver a strong message to key markets. This provides the opportunity for better priced remnants in print media. Our partnerships with Cabot Creamery and the Vermont Ski Areas Association and pooling of our marketing dollars, allows us to increase the frequency of television spots above what our budget would allow. Special Marketing Promotions: Apples to ipods Visitors to Vermont s pick-your-own orchards had the chance to win an Apple ipod during the sixth annual Apples to ipods promotion in fall Twenty-four Vermont-made wooden apples were placed in apple trees at pick-your-own orchards around the state. Customers who found the wooden apples won an Apple ipod Nano, Classic, Touch or ipad from Vermont s Apple Specialist, Small Dog Electronics. The promotion was sponsored in partnership with Small Dog Electronics, the Vermont Agency of Agriculture and Woodchuck Cider, who provided tastings at the kick-off event. In 1999, the Vermont legislature designated the apple as the state fruit, and the apple pie as the state pie. Vermont has almost 4,000 acres of commercial apple production, and the state s leading apple varieties are McIntosh, Cortland, Red Delicious and Empire. Page 5 of 12
8 Creative Marketing Solutions VDTM recognizes the challenge for Vermont businesses with limited resources to consistently market themselves to an out-of-state audience. Therefore, we have increased our focus on promotions designed to work for tourism-related businesses throughout Vermont by creating no-cost marketing opportunities. Examples include: Cultural Heritage: 2013 marks the 150 th anniversary of the Civil War. Vermont played a key role in the Civil war and in recognition of these efforts the Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing has captured the history and story of Vermont s role. The Department has created a number of resources including a print visitors guide and website ( to commemorate Vermont s role in the Civil War. Vermont and the Civil War Visitors Guide features approximately 25 sites located across Vermont that tell the many stories of Vermont s participation in the Civil War. Text and images will lead visitors to museums, historical societies, public monuments, historic buildings, and cemeteries where they will learn about Vermonters who supported the anti-slavery movement, who distinguished themselves on the battlefront, and who worked to support the war effort at home on their farms and in their businesses. The Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing in collaboration with the Partnership for Fairness and Diversity have developed the Vermont African American Heritage Trail. This trail takes you to Vermont museums and cultural sites where exhibits, films, tours and personal explorations illuminate the lives of African Americans for whom the Green Mountain State was part of their identity. This trail will be promoted in FY 2013 to promote Vermont s cultural heritage and encourage both Vermont residents and out of state visitors to experience Vermont s African American Heritage. Tourism Businesses Support VDTM regularly supports culture and heritage visitor opportunities made available by Vermont s wide range of tourism and tourism-related businesses. Free event listings are available on ; a full events calendar database is ed monthly to a variety of local, state, and regional media outlets; and selected events are featured on the website homepage, in the monthly consumer newsletter, and in press releases. Marketing Partnerships Vermont Ambassador Program The Ambassador Program provides Information and customer service training designed for front-line staff and their managers twice yearly. Instructors include industry experts from the Vermont Welcome Centers, Vermont Chamber of Commerce, state government and a number of travel, arts and recreation organizations. Individuals and businesses that fulfill a number of post-training requirements become certified Vermont Ambassadors or Vermont Ambassador Information Centers. Two training sessions are planned for Page 6 of 12
9 Increasing Public/Private Marketing Opportunities Collaborative marketing with the private sector allows the state to leverage many opportunities, including television advertising, public relations initiatives, and a Vermont presence at trade and consumer shows. Relationships with Cabot Creamery and the Vermont Ski Areas Association have allowed the Department s television budget to double the state s investment. VDTM has undertaken an aggressive media campaign throughout the northeastern United States. Our TV, radio, magazine, web and newspaper advertising has been supported by many private sector partners. Statewide event support, promotion of state historic sites, collateral development, fulfillment, the VERMONT call center contracting, and cooperative programs with chambers of commerce and other travel related associations maximize the power of the Vermont brand in the United States and selected markets around the world. Long Trail Brewing The Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing has created a partnership specific to the Washington DC market with Long Trail Brewing. This partnership includes paid advertising, on the ground events in market IE special promotions for Vermont, unique packaging on all long trail distributed products in market and product sampling.. Cabot Creamery & Vermont Ski Areas Association VDTM has partnered with Cabot Creamery and the Vermont Ski Areas Association to combine marketing dollars to increase the frequency of television advertising and tradeshow attendance. This collaboration has allowed us to leverage additional marketing dollars and create media relationships. These partnerships are utilized seasonally. Mount Snow Ski Area/Town of Wilmington In the aftermath of Tropical Storm Irene VDTM developed a collaborative relationship in which the Town of Wilmington and VDTM cooperatively invested in NYC promotions particular to events taking place within the region. This campaign ran during the one year anniversary of Irene. Southern Vermont Businesses The Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing has developed a strong relationship with a powerful group of Southern Vermont Businesses. In the coming year we hope to increase participation from these businesses to market in the Albany market. Currently the collaborative has allowed for the combined group to triple its investment in advertising. Current businesses involved in this partnership include the Manchester Designer Outlets, The Equinox Resort, Stratton Ski Area and Orvis. Page 7 of 12
10 Web/Social Media: In addition to its Web site, VDTM communicated directly with Vermont visitors using its marketing newsletter. The newsletter supports the overall web marketing effort with interest-specific seasonal promotions. Prospective travelers visiting VermontVacation.com opt in to receive quarterly e-newsletters highlighting the best of Vermont and targeting their chosen interests. In addition, VDTM uses social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Flickr to provide a fully interactive experience, enabling Vermont s fans to comment on and recommend locations, attractions and/or events to others, help others in vacation planning. VDTM keys in on these conversations to develop Web and newsletter content of interest to potential travelers. These efforts have been recognized nationally which has brought in much earned media attention. Today the Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing has over 24,000 fans following our Facebook feed and over 11,300 followers on Twitter. The Vermont Vacation Planner is the state s most comprehensive listing of lodging, dining, attractions, and events.

The project s goal is to present a contemporary, humanized narrative as it works to attract more tourists and young residents. VermontVacation.com VermontVacation.com is now completely maintained and updated by staff of the Vermont Department of Tourism, severing our reliance on contracted vendors to make changes to the site. Domestic Sales VDTM s sales team facilitates more than twenty trade and consumer travel shows, missions and events worldwide each year. These efforts engage up to a dozen Vermont partners, e.g. trade associations, chambers of commerce, ski areas, etc. Each year, VDTM obtains tens of thousands of dollars in complimentary stays and packages from Vermont resorts and hotels and attractions to apply toward its media campaigns. This trade allows our media buyer to leverage our budgeted funds for print and broadcast advertising with in-kind value. We will be able to further extend our media reach at no incremental cost to the State of Vermont by encouraging in-state companies to advertise the Vermont vacation experience in their product and service advertising. In addition, VDTM continues to work with the industry to host trade Page 8 of 12
11 familiarization trips, inspire events and conferences that attract visitors, and respond to our Vermont partners ongoing requests for advice and services. Regular communication and sales missions with travel agents and tour operators ensure that Vermont retains a strong presence in travel trade product offerings throughout the world. Motor coaches continue to be an integral part of the Vermont tourism mix. Hundreds of motor coach companies come to Vermont with thousands of travelers during all four seasons. Interaction with consumers at special events and consumer shows highlight Vermont as a vacation destination in a way that other promotional mediums cannot. International Sales and Marketing International visitation to Vermont remains the fastest growing sector of our tourism economy. In order to reach these valuable markets with the greatest economy and efficiency, VDTM has worked in cooperation with the other New England states for nearly two decades. Discover New England (DNE) is a unique collaborative established by the New England State Travel Directors Council in DNE was designed to create a collective international marketing engine managed by the State Tourism Directors/Commissioners of the six New England States. This long standing annual agreement with DNE has enabled Vermont to participate in equal, collaborative promotional opportunities. Each state is an equal partner and contributes an equal dollar amount to fund DNE. DNE promotes and represents all sectors of the tourism industry in New England, targeting the primary markets of Germany and the United Kingdom, and works with the emerging secondary markets such as Ireland and Italy. Discover New England complements the sales effort done by VDTM in the international market. Porter Air Initiative The Vermont Department of Tourism & Marketing in an effort to increase international business and travel to Vermont successfully developed a collaborative with Porter Air, the Vermont Ski Areas Association and Burlington International Airport (BTV) for direct service from Toronto to Burlington. In an effort to support this development the Department will invest $75,000 to support a cooperative marketing endeavor with Porter Air. Ski Vermont is also investing in advertising with Porter Air to support this effort. If the initial winter service is popular, it is anticipated that Porter will consider adding more flights in winter and other seasons. Special Porter ski packages and shuttle bus service for Jay Peak, Smugglers Notch Resort, Stowe Mountain Resort and Sugarbush Resort are available. During this pilot project Porter provides twiceweekly roundtrip flights from Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport to Burlington. The new direct flight to Burlington, Vermont, from Toronto, Canada, on Porter Air will open up many more opportunities for tourism, trade and business investment between Vermont and Ontario.
