Apart from the specific strategies to engage each type of target, consider generic strategies and tactics to foster engagement throughout the whole stakeholder community:
- Polls asking the stakeholders’ opinion, thanking them with some reward, and letting them know how their opinion is useful to improve the destination performance. Further, it is a way to spur discussion.
- Reward top content sharers as well as those who bring in new followers and engage them to register for contests or workshops to become contributors or for volunteering programs.
- Asking about what types of rewards each target appreciates and designing an incentive system considering many kinds of prizes to satisfy all targets, and also to reward all valuable contributions.
- Letting contest participants invite their friends to vote for their content as a way to expand the brand awareness, and the network of followers and potential contributors.
- Building an emotional connection with tourists with the life-changing experiences and showcasing how their contributions have powered the destination towards the mission accomplishment.
- Offering something valuable to users when they leave their personal contact data in the landing page is to further encourage them in registering for certain activities.
