Definition

Tourism marketing is the set of strategies and tactics used to attract visitors to a destination — including destination branding, content marketing, influencer partnerships, review management, and distribution through travel platforms and AI travel assistants. AI systems are rapidly becoming travel planning assistants. Users asking “best things to do in Maui” or “where to stay in Kailua-Kona” are increasingly receiving AI-generated recommendations that draw from tourism marketing content, review platforms, and local entity data. For Hawaii businesses that serve tourists — accommodations, experiences, restaurants, retail — appearing in AI travel planning responses is a high-value citation opportunity. Tourism marketing content optimized for AI retrieval — factually dense, entity-rich, structured for extraction — creates durable citation presence in the travel AI channel.
