AFTER
THE LAB.
The lab is the first component in a broader program, designed to help nature tourism destinations and operations plan, strengthen and enhance the travel experiences they offer.
1. MARKET MENTALITY LAB
Understand how the nature travel market is evolving and focus on the quick and relatively easy tweaks to
adapt current operational models.
2. PROFILES & PRODUCTS
Build on the work started in the Market Mentality Lab to create specific nature traveler profiles and personas for the destination and then analyze and refine the travel experiences offered in the region to target these specific profiles.
3. FRAMING THE FUTURE
Develop a locally-driven destination plan for a resilient and sustainable future, based on the market personas developed in component 2. The plan provides a step-by-step process, tools and mentoring to help a destination embrace new market trends as a region.
