Transforming Guest Experiences That Drive New Experiences:
Experiential Tourism Product Development Training
Facilitator & Coach - Celes Davar, Earth Rhythms
You are invited to participate in a two-and-a-half day training course to learn about experiential travel, what it is, why it has value to tourism operators and tourism industry partners. This is an opportunity to participate in experiences, learn from them and be introduced to new tools and templates to help you to create new experiences. Integrating cuisine, the arts, nature and culture, the intensive training course is a “roll up your sleeves” workshop that practices experiential in all aspects of the workshop.
This is not a seminar or a conference. It is “hands-on” training.
Top five reasons to attend this experiential training retreat:
-
The opportunity to participate in three community experiences, which will help you to understand the ingredients needed to craft a successful experience. Canadian and regional examples of experiences, lessons from tourism operators, economic frameworks, presentations and multiple hands-on learning activities will be provided.
-
An introduction to the Experience Planning template and the Tourism Experience Development Process. Learn the steps to crafting experiences, how to use a costing and pricing spreadsheet, and practice creating an experience. Upon completing the course, you’ll know exactly what you need to do to shift current activities to be more experienced based, or to create new experiences.
-
This training program will help change the way you think about what defines an experience and how experiential tourism development can add value to your business and community. You’ll also understand how experiences relate to BruceGreySimcoe’s target consumers by taking part in several “live experiences” during this training.
-
Take an existing product and create a higher yield customer experience for your ideal guests.
-
Be part of a community of experiential travel collaborators trained together, creating a useful support system once training is completed.
