Recommendations (Never Visited)

Respondents who have never visited have

neutral brand images of New Harmony.

– Marketing has not formed lasting images. – Communicates its brand image through multiple physical visits. – Opportunity to influence image; need to establish image once the visitor physically travels.

SLIDE 24

Recommendations (Demographics)

Older, Married, Male perceive higher tourism

value and stronger agreement to brand.

– Females are the primary decision maker for married couples over 45. – Prefer social setting/environment while engaging in passive behavior. – A well-defined and easily identifiable tourism infrastructure.

SLIDE 25

Recommendations (Effective Brand)

Communicate Effective Brand Image of New

Harmony:

– Image: Fun, Artistic, Inspiring, Different. – Value: Unique Experience, Transformative – Businesses: Open and Accessible.

SLIDE 26

Recommendations (Strategy)

Unique experience and transformational are

correlated with intention repeat visits.

– Ease of information (positive); ease of access (negative). – Isolation may benefit New Harmony. – Market as “escape”, “mystery”, “journey”, “pilgrimage”.
