Turismo Chile

 
“Thanks to DCI’s strategic media placements, Chile’s star is rising among affluent travelers, as are our visitor arrivals.”

The Challenge

Chile's experiences were not top-of-mind for North American travelers.  As a result, Chile Tourism sought to position the nation as South America’s emerging adventure getaway, replete with experiences travelers could have "Only in Chile".

The DCI Roadmap

•  Develop a communications campaign and messaging that highlights the adventures available “Only in Chile;”

• Commence extensive outreach to members of the Society of American Travel Writers to secure attendance at the association's annual conference being held in Chile and promote key experiences;

• Identify and secure coverage of Chile through desk-side media appointments and editorial research visits within well-established print, broadcast and online media that offer tips to American travelers on where to plan their next international adventure.

 

The Results

•  DCI secured editorial print coverage of Chile's travel experiences in outlets such as Enroute, Inc., Kiplinger's Personal Finance, National Geographic Adventure and Travel + Leisure. 

•  On behalf of Chile Tourism, DCI generated broadcast coverage of Chile's stunning landscapes and unique travel adventures on CNN, NBC, PBS, and Travel Channel.

•  Without advertising in the North American market, Chile Tourism visitor arrivals grew 9 percent in the U.S. and 17 percent in Canada over a one-year time frame.
