However, we take an unusual approach to destination collateral. We believe that destinations are not in the brochure business but rather in the Vacation Experience business; and a vacation experience is more than just pretty pictures and great copy. Marketur has partnered with Herald Custom Publishing to produce destination magazines. We publish true magazines with editorial content that is inviting, exciting and assists to promote the end result-a transaction. Our capabilities include a full array of award-winning editorial staff, world-renowned photographers and some of the best publishing executives in the business. As part of the Marketur process, our collateral can direct consumers to learn more on the destination web site and become one tool in a totally integrated program. We even have the capability to tie our custom publishing programs into the Knight-Ridder's newspapers in 28 markets as well as its 45 associated web sites. Additionally, these programs have been utilized by major tourism destinations as revenue mechanisms to enhance the marketing resources of the destination's budget. In a world of endless choices and increasing clutter, the importance of powerful brands can not be understated. We realize, however, that travel brands are created differently. That's why our specialized approach to brand development begins with a comprehensive understanding of your entire product delivery. From the destination image to your core attributes, from unique design elements to the reservations team answering your phones, our integrated approach creates relevant branding that begins at the first point of contact and continues long after your clients have returned to their every day lives.
