Tourism Red Deer Strategic Business Plan
The role, form and function of Destination Marketing
Organizations have not evolved significantly in the past 15 years,
while demands of our customers and potential customers have. Our
community requirements for diversification are more important than
ever before.
It is in this context that Tourism Red Deer approaches the
coming year(s) and the significant challenge of prioritization,
restructuring to create added value and positive change.

Tourism Red Deer Strategic Marketing
Plan, 2012-2014
It is important to recognize the complexity of just how the
economy has reshaped the lives and lifestyles of travelers today.
We continue to see the intensification of deal shopping and value
seeking behaviour. Today's consumers
are best described as resourceful. They have reaffirmed their
priorities - focusing on family and friends rather than consumption
and acquisition. Value expectations are high. Purchases are often
made only after considerable due diligence and ultimately,
travelers are looking for experiences that will add to their
happiness and that of their families.
