TASK 3: Ways to Promote Tourist Atrraction

Group: STARLIGHT

Tourism is an important pillar in almost every country’s economy. While some countries are really good at promoting themselves, others need some serious work.

Host a Blogger Trip

If you do not have an internet presence, you are missing out on countless opportunities. One of the best ways to generate this online presence is through blogger outreach. By hosting bloggers in your country you can have them promote your tourism industry on the internet with articles and hashtags on social media.

Have a Modern Looking Website

It is no secret that having a professionally renovated website is key to drawing in the contemporary tourist. People want to see high quality photographs with detailed descriptions and cost breakdowns before they make a decision on where they want to travel. Be sure to have your website professionally designed and maintained in order to draw in the most traffic.

Create a Social Media Presence

With the advent of social media come entirely new strategies with regards to marketing. Being present as a business on social media is key to getting more eyes on your services and products. While it may be tempting to self-promote in every post, it is better to adhere to a 1-7 rule. After every one promotional post be sure to input seven informational content posts without too much promotion. You will gain more followers with valuable content and be able to promote yourself better in the process.

Utilize Online Booking and Payment

The value of online reservations and payment are highly underrated. If individuals can pay for their hotel room as well as book recreational activities online they will be far more likely to be interested in your area. Keep in mind, a great deal of people work a 9-5 day and may have a very difficult time contacting your company within business hours. Offering 24 hour booking and payment encourages tourists that you are accessible and up-to-date.

Take Advantage of Search Engine Optimization

Modern SEO is the best way to promote your website online. You may have the best looking site with all amenities but if traffic is not coming your way it will be useless. SEO utilizes embedded links and keywords to get you higher rankings on search engines. By getting higher in the rankings on search engines you will be more visible to relevant traffic.

Event Promotions

A local event, held annually over a weekend or for a longer stretch, can bring visitors to your town in droves. Event promotions are specifically good during the offseason as a means to generate extra tourism dollars. Some of the events you can put on-- as long as you have the infrastructure to support them -- include:

• Music festivals

• Storytelling festivals

• Art festivals

• Wine and beer festivals

• Specialty conventions

• Custom car shows

Create a unique slogan

If you come up with a slogan, but its possible to remove your town’s name and plug in another town’s name, it is not a unique slogan. Avoid common buzzwords like “explore” “discover” “center of it all” “something for everyone” “best kept secret.”

Do a promotional draw or contest

Get the attention of tourists by offering them a free incentive to explore the town. Create a scavenger hunt around the town and offer a prize to the winners. Offer a complimentary stay at a popular attraction to visitors who enter a draw or a survey about the town.

TASK 2: Passport and Visa

What are the differences between passport and visa?

A passport is a document that is issued by the national government that is used as a personal identification when travelling abroad. Visa is an official document that is issued as permission for entering and residing a country.

Visa and passport are two things that are required for International travelling. These two terms are often used when visiting other countries. Though both of these are required while travelling, these two are different from each other and serve different purposes.

A passport is a document that is issued by the national government that is used as a personal identification when travelling abroad. It can also be used for identity proof inside the country as well. The passport lists the nationality, the country of origin, name, birth date, address and various other details about the holder. It is an legitimate document that can help prove the holder’s identity.

There are various different types of passports that are issued with regards to the holder:

• Ordinary passport: Ordinary passports are also known as tourist passports and are issued to ordinary citizens that are planning to go abroad for either vacation, tourism, studies, etc.
• Official passport: Official passports are also known as service passports and are issued official government employees or people that are travelling under official government work. These are for government employees that are travelling for work related reasons.
• Temporary passport: Temporary passports are also known as emergency passports that are issued for a person that loses his/her passport in a foreign country during travelling. The person is requested to go to the embassy and issue a temporary passport by providing all the details. This passport is also provided when a person’s passport expires during a visit. These passports are usually valid for a short time approximately 1 year.
• Diplomatic passport: Diplomatic passports are issued for diplomats and consuls that are required to go to other countries for work-related reasons. However, diplomatic passports do not mean that the person has diplomatic immunity. Diplomatic passport holders are also required to issue visas during travelling.
• Family passport: Family passport are passports that are issued to the whole family. This means that all the members of the family share the passport and they do not get individual passports.
• Fantasy passport: Fantasy passports are passports that not legitimate though they may seem similar in looks to an original passport. These passports are usually issued under names of countries that no longer exist or names of states in a specific country. These have no particular significance while travelling.

Visa is an official document that is issued as permission for entering and residing a country. A person planning to visit a specific country would have to issue a visa for that particular country asking the government for permission for entering and residing in the country for a specific period of time. Almost all countries require a visa for a person to enter into their boundaries; however some countries do not require any visa such as Albania, Austria, Belgium, Kenya, etc. These are distant from the passport and the visa is usually printed as pasted on a page in the passport.

There are different types of visas depending on the reason for entering the country. The name and type of visas differ depending on the country.

• Tourist visa: This visa is required for a person that wishes to go into a country only for tourism purposes.
• Transit visa: Transit visa is short-term visa that is issued for passing through the country to get to another destination.
• Business visa: Business visa is issued for businessmen that wish to travel to a foreign country and conduct business activities.
• Temporary worker visa: This visa is issued for temporary workers in a foreign country in order to let them work legitimately.
• Student visa: This visa is issued for students that wish to travel to a foreign country for further studies.
• Fiancé visa: This visa is issued to a fiancé of a citizen of the country to which the fiancé is planning to visit. For example: a man from US is planning to marry a woman from UK, the woman would require issuing a fiancé visa in order to visit her fiancé in the US.

Both of these are important documents that are required in order to travel to foreign countries. Any misrepresentation on either document can result in a fine, banishment or punishment.

What are the procedures to make passport and visa?

>This is the procedure to make US passport:

(1) Complete the Application Form

The first thing you need is the actual application. This can be found here. You'll want to fill it out in advance, but DON'T SIGN IT until you are instructed at the passport acceptance facility.

(2) Gather the Required Documents

Next you'll need to gather two important documents AND make photocopies of the front and back sides. You'll have to prove that you're a U.S. citizen. Most people will use a birth certificate for this, but make sure it meets the necessary requirements, listed here. You'll also have to present another form of identification, such as a driver's license or another up-to-date government I.D. Other accepted alternatives are listed here.

(3) Obtain a Passport Photo

Now put on your best face and go have your photo taken (you could take it yourself but it's not recommended due to the strict requirements for the photo).

(4) Prepare Your Payment

You'll have to pay both an application fee (to the U.S. Department of State) and an execution fee (to the facility that receives your application). For first-time applicants this will probably cost $105-135 if you use standard return shipping, but the fees can vary depending on age and shipping methods. For payment instructions and accepted forms of payment, 

(5) Submit Your Application in Person

If you have everything listed above (and we strongly advise confirming all requirements with the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Consular Affairs before doing this), then you're ready to submit your application. Since this is your first time applying for a passport, the application must be lodged in person at an authorized facility.

>This is the procedure to make US Visa:

1. Make an appointment with your local U.S. Embassy or Consulate

This should be done as soon as you know you will be traveling to the U.S. Check with your local Embassy or Consulate first, but you should be able to make an appointment by telephone, over the Internet, by mail or in person. Be prepared for long wait times even if you have an appointment. Check the U.S. Dept. of State's global directory of U.S. Embassies, Consulates and Diplomatic Missions for a location near you.

2. Ask about any required fees and payment options

Visa application fees generally must be paid before the initial appointment. Also keep in mind that they are non-refundable. See Fees for Visa Services for a current fee schedule.

3. Prepare your documentation

You will need the following materials:

• Valid passport
• Appropriate applications (see specific visa type)
• Documents detailing employment, financial status and reason for travel
• Proof that you have paid fees (see #2, above)
• Any additional information or forms as indicated by the consular officer

4. Submit your application

In addition to the visa application itself, you will need to submit your passport and supporting documents. These materials will be reviewed by the consular officer and sometimes by officials in Washington, D.C.

5. Additional reviews may be required

For security purposes, your information will be checked against an international security database. Even if just a close variation of your name raises red flags of a security concern, the visa application process will be delayed by at least four to six weeks. Additional reviews may include more interviews, requests for more information and even fingerprinting.

6. Additional steps upon arrival at port-of-entry

The port-of-entry typically will be the airport in the U.S. where you land. Before landing, or before departing the plane, you will complete an arrival/departure form. Once you deplane, follow the directions for non-citizen entry, which includes a brief interview and verification of paperwork by a U.S. official. Luggage is subject to inspection by U.S. Customs officials.

7. Extending Your Stay

Visitors to the United States may extend the life of their visa under certain circumstances, as long as they file Form I-539 ("Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status") in a timely manner. Customs officials recommend applying for an extension within 45 days of the nonimmigrant visa expiration date.
