    Think of Lisbon

    Lisbon is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It is a blend of the past

    and the future, celebration and nostalgia, origins and voyages, modernity and

    memory, the traditional and the cosmopolitan, unity and diversity all of

    which make it unique.

    Its river, its light, its neighbourhoods, streets, monuments, people, fado, gastronomy,

    cultural life and economic activity are some of the citys other faces with which it

    reveals and seduces. Those who have not visited Lisbon want to visit and those who

    have visited want to return.

    Today, Lisbon is a destination that is increasingly in vogue. We must respond to this

    demand by improving every day the quality, innovation, degree and diversity of

    our tourism offering.

    We want tourism to be one of the primary aims of the city. We know that planning,

    strategy, coordination and action are required to achieve this aim. The 2011-2014

    Strategic Marketing Plan follows the guidelines dened in the previous Plan, thus

    ensuring the achievement of the objectives and sustained growth of this destination.

    It also identies the new challenges facing this activity in a global market that is

    continually evolving and highly competitive.

    Increasing quantity and value, upgrading the experience of visitors and generating

    more awareness of the destination are the objectives identied in this new Plan,

    which we will pursue with determination in order to place Lisbon top of mind

    among European capitals.

    With ambition and vision, we must afrm the Lisbon Region as an unrivalled tourist

    destination, where every visitor can enjoy a personalised experience that matches their

    expectations, desires and tastes. Among the capital cities of Europe, the Lisbon Region

    seeks to be ranked among those with the greatest tourist ows. Domestically, it aims

    to consolidate its market share and help make Portuguese tourism more competitive.

    Bearing in mind the various competencies of Turismo de Lisboa, this new Plan

    has been designed according to three approaches: City, Greater Lisbon and Pro-

    motional Area. At the City level, in which Turismo de Lisboa has a cooperation

    agreement with the Lisbon City Council, its implementation is more comprehen-

    sive and developed. In the territory comprising the municipalities of Lisbon, Cas-

    cais, Sintra, Mafra and Oeiras (Greater Lisbon), where its duties and competencies

    are similar to those of the regional tourism authorities, its responsibilities are

    fullled in accordance with the interests of those entities. As regards the Lisbon

    Promotional Area (a larger territor y extending from Setbal to Ftima) Turismo de

    Lisboas competencies include the international promotion of tourism, under the

    aegis of the Agncia Regional de Promoo Turstica.

    Reinforcing the positive aspects addressed by its predecessor, the 2011-2014

    Strategic Marketing Plan continues the strategy of sustainability while also plan-

    ning for the future, looking to new paths and ways to think of Lisbon and the

    Lisbon Region.

    As Chairman of Turismo de Lisboa, I would like to conrm our commitment to this

    new phase of action and to the achievement of these great objectives.

    Twenty-rst century Lisbon must continue to open itself up to the world, its pat -

    terns, its ows, its changes, its surprises and its demands. The citizens of Lisbon

    must be citizens of the world, and the citizens of the world must feel like citizens

    of Lisbon.

    Shared responsibility

    Dynamism, a strategic focus and the ability for innova-

    tion are key factors in the development of any sector,

    especially ours, recognised in its own right as the major

    driving force behind the Portuguese economy.

    In order to follow market trends and create distinctive initiatives,

    the key players in tourism especially those in the private sec-

    tor must adopt a position that is aimed at tourists and meeting

    their expectations.

    Through greater creativity and by developing the citys tourism

    offering, hotels, restaurants, shopping and services, they will

    have what the tourist of the 21st century wants, going far beyond

    a mere visit: personalised experiences that cannot be replicated

    in any other part of the world.

    This kind of work can only be carried out in conjunction with pro-

    fessional training and awareness-raising activities in the differ-

    ent subsectors of our business. Nowadays, these activities are a

    regular occurrence and have been shown to have a very positive

    impact on the performance of the economy driven by regional

    and national tourism.

    That is why the future of tourism is a shared responsibility, one

    which we must all assume in our drive to achieve individual and

    collective success.

    AmbitionThe strategic ambition of the Lisbon Region is to afrm its position among the

    most popular European capitals for tourists.

    Within the context of national tourism, it seeks to increase its market share in

    the domestic market and help make Portuguese tourism more competitive.The 2011-2014 Strategic Marketing Plan for Turismo de Lisboa takes into account

    the Strategic ambition and the Vision and value proposal for the destina-

    tion. These form the basis of the strategic objectives that have been dened.

    With these objectives in mind, we have dened strategies for Markets, Segments,

    Products and Brand. The TLx14 identies ten strategic programmes which incorpo-

    rate strategic initiatives for marketing when related to image and communications

    and for operations and support when aimed at infrastructures, access, tourist

    resources, cultural resources and human resources.

    VisionLisbons value proposal (vision) should be enhanced through elements that reect the incentives and at-

    tractiveness that characterise the region and set it apart as a tourist destination. The areas that make up

    this value proposal are: Authenticity, Capital Status, Attractiveness, Sensations, Sophistication and Moder-

    nity, the Human Element, Unique Historical Importance and Diversity of Experiences.

    ObjectivesThe strategic objectives dened in the TLx14 are in-

    tended to bring the citys performance in the area of

    tourism closer to European best practices while en-

    couraging tourism in the rest of the Promotional Area.

    They are also designed to reafrm the value proposal

    of this destination.

    The strategic objectives fall within three areas of de-

    velopment in the tourism sector: increase quantity and

    value, upgrade the experience of visitors and generate

    more awareness of the destination.

    Increase quantity and valueIncrease the number of visitors (rst-time and

    repeat visitors) from traditional and emerging

    markets, thereby maximising the value they

    create for the sec tor.

    Upgrade the experienceof visitorsImprove the experience of visitors (tourists

    and day-trippers) and their impressions of

    a destination with a very diverse offering

    (ranging from budget to luxury).

    Generate more awarenessof the destinationPlace Lisbon top of mind in the list of the

    must-see European capitals by increasing awareness

    of the city in the strategically relevant outbound

    markets and demand segments.

    Clear objectivesFor every strategic objective, there are different

    types of scenario for the city of Lisbon, G reater

    Lisbon (the area comprising the municipalities

    of Lisbon, Oeiras, Cascais, Sintra and Mafra)

    and the Promotional Area.

    BrandsBesides the three international brands already included in the Pro-

    motional Area Lisbon, Estoril and Ftima Sintra must also be recog-

    nised as an international brand for the unique qualities that have

    dened its status as the Capital of Romanticism.

    The Lisbon brand is the main brand, but not necessarily an umbrella

    brand. In certain contexts, tactical brands could be created and jus-

    tied, based on the specic nature of initiatives associated with

    tourism clusters, products or resources.

    Because of its qualities and competencies, Turismo de Lisboa should

    be responsible for the joint management of the Lisbon Promotional

    Area brands and for all promotional activities abroad.

    The Estoril brand should develop its own international promotional

    plan to promote the brand and, in terms of tourism products, it

    should form part of the plans designed for the LPA.

    Lisbon in

    the foreignmarketsAchieving the strategic objectives dened increase

    quantity and value, upgrade the experience of visi-

    tors and generate more awareness of the destination

    requires adopting a distinctive position based on out-

    bound markets, demand segments, their preferences,

    intrinsic characteristics and the products that will be

    promoted.

    The segmentation and adaptation of a strategic posi-

    tion based on the market is designed to achieve the

    most effective approach possible by Turismo de Lisboa

    and maximise the return on effort and investment

    when promoting tourism in the targeted outbound

    markets.

    What follows is a recommended strategy for each

    market according to its relevance to tourism in the

    region. A proposal of value is presented, based

    on an analysis of the tourist profile and the at-

    tributes most valued by each market, along with

    the factors that should be communicated in each

    outbound market.

    According to the TLx10, the marketsto target should be:Strategic markets: SpainPriority markets: United Kingdom,Germany, France, Italy, USA and BrazilMedium and high-potentialmarkets: The Netherlands, Belgium,Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway,Finland, Russia, Japan, China and otherEastern European countries

    TLx14

    The 2011-2014 Strategic Marketing Plan for Turismode Lisboa considers the following markets:Strategic markets (growth): Spain and BrazilPriority markets- Growth:Germany, France, USA, Finland,Denmark, Norway and Sweden- Maintenance: Italy, United Kingdom, Ireland,The Netherlands, BelgiumSecondary markets (growth): Russia, Poland,Czech Republic and Hungary

    Main implications

    Although the segmentation used in thestrategic marketing plans cannot be compareddirectly, it can be shown that for the 2011-2014period Turismo de Lisboa should considerthe existence of two strategic markets(Spain and Brazil) rather than one. As regardspriority markets, Turismo de Lisboa may ndit necessary to readjust and/or direct its actionsaccording to new segmentation (the degreeof importance that markets have inthe strategy).

    TLx10

    No targeted demand segments havebeen specied.

    TLx14

    According to the 2011-2014 StrategicMarketing Plan, Turismo de Lisboas activitiesshould focus on the tourist segments betweenthe ages of 26 and 55 and who travel witha partner or friends.

    Main implications

    Turismo de Lisboa should focus its activity not onlyaccording to the new market strategy, but also

    according to demand segments with greater relevance

    and/or potential for growth at the destination.

    Changes to the previous Strategic Marketing PlanIn broad terms, a new strategic marketing plan requires strategic changes and/or readjustments at various levels.

    What follows are key areas of the TLx10 and TLx14, along with needs for change resulting from possible differences

    in the strategic drivers of the two plans.

    Principal needs for changeto the TLx10 with respect to tourismproducts and brand

    Analysis: Deloitte

    TLx10

    According to the TLx10, the planof action for tourism products shouldalign with the National StrategicPlan for Tourism, with a specialfocus on City Breaks, the Meetings In-dustry, Golf and Nautical Tourism(including cruises).

    TLx14

    The 2011-2014 Strategic MarketingPlan should view the products of City Breaks,Meetings Industry and Tourism as strategic.Golf and Nautical Tourism should be viewedas priority.

    Main implications

    Turismo de Lisboa may have to readjust itsactivities according to the new priority that hasbeen established and to the appearance of newinfrastructures planned for the destination.These include support for nautical sports,the new cruise terminal and changes in theconsumer patterns of tourists.

    TLx10

    According to the TLx10, the Lisbonbrand strategy should be based onsix fundamental areas and seek tointroduce the concepts of Modernity,Authenticity and Experience as a

    supplement to the features of Resorts,History and Human Scale.

    TLx14

    Turismo de Lisboas 2011-2014 brand strategyis based on the value proposal of Theindisputable seaside capital city, borderedby the river, unique in it s way of welcoming,to be discovered as you wish. Five elementswhich make up this proposal of value havealso been dened, aimed at specic marketsegments and intended to highlight thequalities that can set the destination apartfrom the competition.

    Principais implicaes

    Brand may be the area in which Turismode Lisboas efforts should involve moresubstantial changes. Broadly speaking, thestrategy shall focus more on each marketand demand segment by appealing to theirmotivations and communicating the mostattractive and distinctive elements.

    Strategic objective:Increase the number of visitors (tourists and day-trippers), both rst-time and repeat visitors, from current and emerging markets,thereby maximising the value they create for the sector.

    Objective: Increase quantity and valueIn order to increase the number of visitors and maximise

    the value they create, the strategy should be aimed at

    targeted markets and segments while bearing in mind

    the importance dened for each one by seeking to adapt

    the offer and organise tourism promotion according to the

    prole and preferences of each market and segment.

    At the same time, we must try to capture the markets and

    segments with the greatest purchasing power and maximise

    cross-selling among the various tourism products in the region.

    With a view to the sectors economic, nancial and social

    sustainability, Turismo de Lisboa should also develop a

    range of initiatives that guarantee an increase in average

    revenue for the sector, especially in hotels. This would be

    achieved through an increase in the occupancy rate and/

    or average selling price per room.

    Objective: Upgrade the experience of visitorsUpgrading the experience of visitors, or rather, improving their

    experience and impressions of a destination with a vast and

    diverse offering (from budget to luxury) will help increase:

    Tourist loyalty to the destination by encouraging repeat visits

    Awareness of the destination through word-of-mouth

    The sector should therefore increase knowledge of the prole

    of visitors from the different markets and segments in order to

    adapt its offering to their preferences and demands. The tourism

    offering (infrastructures, services, tourist entertainment, etc.) at

    the destination should aim to satisfy visitors by giving them the

    information they need, a model welcome and internationally

    renowned service.

    The region should consolidate its image as a tourist destina-

    tion par excellence, arousing curiosity about visits and creating

    awareness of the Lisbon brand.

    Turismo de Lisboa should focus on a tourism promotion

    strategy based on the main distincti ve elements of the des-

    tination while presenting an innovative, attractive value

    proposal. The choice of communication channels is essential

    in order to ensure its effectiveness and adaptation to the

    target segment profile.

    Generating more publicity about the destination also requires

    that partnerships be created among institutional/private enti-

    ties and players in the sector so that they know more about the

    destination and act as a means of promoting the region.

    A unique experience

    Continuing the development and

    growth objectives of the Lisbon

    destination, the TLx14 presents ten

    strategic programmes. The most

    appealing area (Markets/Segments,

    Products and Brand) has been

    identied for each.

    The strategic initiatives could

    and should be developed within

    one to four years, i.e., between

    2011 and 2014.

    2011-2014 Strategic marketing programmes for Turismo de Lisboa

    Programme1 | The rebirth of a meeting place in a capital city square: The Terreiro do Pao

    Programme 2 | Belm: The cultural icon, a museum district

    Programme 3 | A new standard for the meetings industry

    Programme 4 | A family destination

    Programme 5 | A closer relationship with the river and the oceanProgramme 6 | A region focused on tourism: Lisbon for all

    Programme 7 | Bringing Lisbon closer

    Programme 8 | A very personal customer experience

    Programme 9 | A new approach to the brand

    Programme 10 | Promoting tourism

    The objective of the ten strategic programmes of the TLx14 is to

    maximise the awareness and complementary nature of tourism

    in the region, where every tourist can enjoy an experience that

    meets their expectations.

    From the rebirth of the Terreiro do Pao as a meeting point in

    a capital city square to Belm, a cultural icon, the region also

    demonstrates enormous development potential for the meet-

    ings industry. In order to enhance its offer and leverage its posi-

    tion, we must implement and ensure the marketing of micro-

    destinations (such as Estoril, Tria and Oeiras) located near the

    city of Lisbon. The region, also a destination for families, could

    expand with the construction of a fun and leisure park.

    The relationship with the Tagus River and the Atlanti c Coast must

    also be improved by creating the conditions necessary to prac-

    tise water sports and by developing a water sports complex in

    Algs. Setting up a base for budget airline companies is also

    important: this will boost competitiveness and bring the region

    closer to outbound markets; it will also provide visitors with ex-

    periences, rather than a simple visit to the destination.

    The new approach to the brand involves monitoring brand

    awareness and tactical brands of the destination. This will be

    done by conducting studies to determine the destinations val-

    ue and the motivations of the various market segments. The

    agreed promotion strategy will be followed and the promotional

    focus should be aimed at strategic markets (Spain and Brazil)

    and priority markets.

    Programme1The rebirth of a meeting place in a capital city square: The Terreiro do Pao

    ObjectivesReinforce the destinations status as a capital city

    Upgrade the Baixa and Frente Ribeirinha districts (Terreiro do Pao Ribeira das Naus)

    Increase the offering of maritime-tourist activities and cruise line products

    The symbol of a capitalUpgrading our tourism offering is the objective of Programme 1, entitled

    The rebirth of a meeting place in a capital city square: The Terreiro do Pao.

    One of the most beautiful squares in Europe,

    the Terreiro do Pao is a symbol of the citys

    capital status and a testament to the den -

    ing moments in Portuguese history. In order

    to better enjoy this square and its relationship

    with the Tagus River, we should encourage

    urban regeneration in the surrounding areas,

    Avenida Ribeira das Naus, Cais do Sodr and

    Campo das Cebolas.

    Its arcade should also be the object of interven-

    tion, with a focus on developing tourist activities.

    Investing in cultural spaces, restaurants, es-

    planades and other commercial areas and

    organising events are also essential to the

    development of the Baixa districts potential

    for tourism.

    Providing a full range of offers required for the

    successful operation of the new Lisbon Cruise

    Terminal and encouraging the development of

    maritime-tourism activities, such as boat cruises

    on the Tagus River, are also important. A ships

    berth located next to the Terreiro do Pao would

    encourage these activities while also serving as

    a point where tourists and the river meet.

    Programme2Belm: The cultural icon, a museum district

    ObjectivesMaximise the destinations cultural offering

    Upgrade the Belm micro-centre

    Culture and museumsProgramme 2, dedicated to Belm: The cultural icon,

    a museum district, is focused on upgrading its tourism

    offering, similar to Programme 1.

    With its many monuments, majestic Belm maintains a close connection to

    the Tagus River, which gives it the perfect backdrop.

    In order to increase awareness of this micro-centre even more, we must

    refurbish, upgrade and/or expand its existing cultural facilities, such as the

    Museu da Marinha (Maritime Museum) and the Museu de Arte Popular (Mu-

    seum of Popular Art). We must also ensure the development of the new

    Museu dos Coches (Coach Museum), Museu de Arqueologia (Archaeology

    Museum), Fundao EDP Centre for the Arts and the Belm Cultural Centre,

    along with other facilities that come together and help make Belm the

    cultural icon of the city.

    With a view to promoting Belm as the Museum District of the Capital a

    comprehensive plan must be developed which includes the creation of a

    brand, signage, public areas, transport and the inclusion of various cultural

    facilities.

    Programme3A new standard for the meetings industry

    ObjectivesMaximise the offering for the meetings industry at the destination

    A destination for conferencesGrowth, upgrading and awareness are the targets dened for Programme 3,

    entitled A new standard for the meetings industry.

    Growth of the meetings industry (MI) product shouldbe based on the competitive advantages of the des-

    tination a mild climate, diversity of experiences, the

    qualities of its light, picturesque settings and gastro-

    nomy, just to name a handful. It should also be based

    on the price-quality ratio of its hotels and the quality

    of its facilities.

    In order to achieve a new standard, we must promote

    the construction of a new multipurpose conference

    centre capable of hosting large conferences (up to

    8000 people) and smaller events. It should comple-ment the regions existing infrastructures and position

    Lisbon as one of the key MI destinations in Europe.

    If the destination is to continue to develop, it is es-sential that a privileged location be chosen, such as

    the Praa de Espanha with its excellent range of ho-

    tels (4500 rooms), so that a second, larger conference

    centre may be built, while maintaining the existing

    centre.

    Another offer enhancement strategy would be to le-

    verage the this product s positioning and the creation

    and marketing of MI micro-destinations located close

    to the city of Lisbon, such as Estoril, Tria and Oeiras. It

    is also important to create supplemental leisure-busi-ness programmes that encourage tourists to prolong

    their stay or return for leisure trips.

    Encourage the offering aimed at families

    offering is the strategy dened for Programme 4:

    A family destination.

    The creation of a multipurpose entertainment park capable of wel-

    coming up to four million visitors per year will be a major factor of

    attraction that is worth promoting.

    We should present distinctive, high-quality attractions and provide

    complementary facilities that will generate overnights and encou-

    rage tourists to extend their average length of stay in the region. It

    is also important to have good road and rail access, car parks and

    service areas.

    Programme5A closer relationship with the river and the ocean

    Objectives Increase the offering of Nautical Tourism (water sports and maritime-tourism)

    at the destination

    Bring the river and the ocean closer

    Closer to the river and the oceanThe focus on growth and upgrading denes the strategy for Programme 5,

    A closer relationship with the river and the ocean.

    The Tagus River and the Atlantic Coast should be equipped with the conditions to practice water sports.

    This initiative involves the upgrading of the Frente Ribeirinha (riverfront area) and the coastal strip, de-

    veloping support infrastructures and establishing schools for sailing, kite surng, wind surng and more.

    Multipurpose nautical facilities must also be developed which, in addition to meeting the sector s

    needs, act as poles of attraction for maritime-tourism activities and water sports. The develop-

    ment of a water sports complex in Algs is one such example, along with the installation of more

    mooring posts along the Tagus River.

    Improving the offering will be an added value in the attraction, promotion and hosting of inter-

    nationally renowned events that increase publicity about the destination in the leading target

    markets and segments.In addition, a networked system should be created which will ensure connections between the

    recreational marinas and docks in the region. We must also, among other things, encourage the

    simplication and debureaucratisation of certication for navigators, legalisation of vessels and

    licensing of maritime-tourism activities.

    Programme6A region focused on tourism: Lisbon for all

    Objectives Improve accessibility to the main sites of tourist interest

    Maximise usage of tourist resources with outstanding heritage value

    Upgrade all aspects of the destinations tourism offering

    Lisbon for allProgramme 6, A region focused on tourism: Lisbon for all, should be developed

    according to the areas of growth, upgrading and awareness.

    The wealth of tourism offered in the region will reach new levels of pro-

    jection by making use of its historical and cultural heritage for tourist ac-

    tivities, whether through event hosting or the reconversion of structures

    into charm hotels, museums or exhibition spaces. In addition to highlight-

    ing their importance in the afrmation of tourism at the destination, this

    will maximise the enjoyment of unique experiences, the diversication of

    venues and the generation of revenue for their upkeep and conservation.

    It is essential to raise awareness among those in charge by issuing

    licences for commercial activities at tourist sites and adopting a tourist-

    focused position with respect to hours of operation, quality standardsand differentiation of products.

    It is equally essential to expand the range of high-quality, distinc-

    tive, traditional and authentic products by encouraging the creation of

    clusters in historical and/or tourist areas, which would position Lisbon

    as a destination with its own brands and products. The creation of

    clusters of art galleries, antiques shops, shops of regional products,

    delicatessens, old-fashioned chemists, hundred year-old restaurants,

    goldsmiths and outdoor markets, among others, would be a factor of

    attraction for tourists, visitors and residents alike.

    The creation of new themed itineraries and routes, which would include

    a wide range of complementary services, is also important.

    We must also increase investment in the so-called soft mobility to

    key tourist sites by developing tourist routes. Examples include assistedaccess from various tourist points to So Jorge Castle, or from the Largo

    do Corpo Santo to the Largo da Academia Nacional de Belas Artes by

    means of a panoramic lift/cable car.

    Programme7Bringing Lisbon closer

    Objectives Improve air and rail access to the capital

    A closer LisbonThe strategy of Bringing Lisbon closer, which

    corresponds to Programme 7, is focused on growth.

    It is essential to attract a base for budget airline companies

    at Lisbon Airport or at a regional air base, which serves the

    interests of the destination and increases its competitiveness.We must also focus our efforts on increasing the number and

    frequency of connections between Lisbon and the main out-

    bound markets by developing partnerships to capture new

    routes to the destination.

    The terminal station of the Lisbon-Madrid high-speed rail net-

    work should be located in the heart of the Portuguese capi-

    tal, preferably at Estao de Oriente. In order for this mode

    of transport to be successful when compared to air travel, the

    maximum duration of the trip should not exceed two hours

    and 45 minutes. Lisbon will therefore benet from the competi-tive advantage offered by this connection to Spain, a strategic

    outbound market.

    Programme8A very personal customer experience

    ObjectivesEncourage a more organised offering and greater creativity on the part of players in the sector

    Raise awareness and mobilise the population with respect to the importance of tourism at the destination

    Upgrade the tourism offering and urban areas

    An unrivalled experienceImproving the experience of visitors is the objective of Programme 8, A very personal customer experience.

    We are all hosts of Lisbon. Each one of us must therefore contrib-

    ute to a culture of excellence in tourism, helping to satisfy those

    who visit us, recommend the destination to potential tourists

    and increase international awareness.

    Besides encouraging responsibility and pride among city resi-

    dents regarding the image that visitors form of Lisbon, we must

    make the various players aware of the importance of their par-

    ticipation in the process, along with the resulting benets and

    returns.

    Improving the reception of tourists therefore requires joint ef-fort and focus by a range of players, including residents, hotels,

    restaurants, shops, transport, travel agents, cultural facilities and

    safety authorities, among others.

    Given that we are known for our warmth and a willingness to

    interact with tourists, our efforts should continue to focus on

    service, quality and creating a brand that provides benets.

    Examples of strategies that could be implemented include the

    development of a standard customer service programme in var i-

    ous tourism subsectors and encouraging the implementation of

    a project that guarantees a friendly welcome to all tourists in all

    parts of the region.

    Great experiences require small details. This is why we must

    do our best when welcoming tourists and showing them thatLisbon knows how to receive and how to operate, that it gives

    Programme9A new approach to the brand

    ObjectivesGenerate more brand awareness

    Organise a marketing and communication strategy

    Jointly manage the destinations brands and promotional efforts

    A cutting-edge destinationProgramme 9, A new approach to the brand, is linked to a strategy based on growth,

    upgrading and publicity.

    This programmes strategy involves monitoring

    the awareness of international brands and tacticalbrands of the destination by conducting studies to

    discover the destinations value and the motivations

    of the various market segments. Determining the

    impact and return on investment of promotional

    marketing campaigns is essential, as is a strategic

    management of the image aimed at markets and

    segments while considering the products and im-

    age to be promoted.

    The destination should be promoted on the basis of a

    primary brand Lisbon and three additional internationalbrands: Estoril, Sintra and Ftima. Tactical brands for

    programmes, products or clusters should be developed

    which set them apart and add value in a given context

    (such as GolfeOeste, EriceiraSurf, Belm, Oeiras Work

    and After Work, Fernando Pessoa and Santo Antnio).

    We must invest in distinguishing the main brand,Lisbon, by focusing on intangible factors such as the

    citys qualities of light, its capital status, the sophisti-

    cation of an old city (but not antiquated), culture, sea,

    authenticity and gastronomy.

    The strength of the brand should be guaranteed

    through a comprehensive management of the Lisbon

    Promotional Area brands and all associated promo-

    tional activities. This will be based on a coherent, ex -

    ible system that allows and ensures unied actions

    while bearing in mind the specic qualities associatedwith Estoril.

    Marketing programmes should also be developed

    which promote specic tourism products in a compre-

    hensive fashion.

    Programme10Promoting tourism

    Objectives Increase promotion of the destination

    Maintain/increase forms of promotion with a view to sustainability

    Organise the marketing and communication strategy

    Promoting the destinationGrowth and generating more awareness are the main objectives outlined

    in Programme 10 for the promotion of tourism.

    The regional promotion strategy will be followed, which willcontinue to ensure that human, material and nancial resources

    are maintained.

    Promoting tourism should focus on the strategic markets, Spain

    and Brazil, and the priority markets, directing investment to the

    regions with greater population density, purchasing power and

    tendency to travel abroad.

    In practical terms, in order to generate more awareness of Lis-

    bon and more news articles about the destination, it will be

    necessary to increase investment in personalised promotional

    activities, specically in public relations, fam trips and presstrips. Particularly in the two strategic markets, the promotional

    strategy must be intensied through new distribution channels.

    It is also important to increase promotion of the destination

    through electronic and social networking channels which

    will allow direct contact with the tourist.Developing partnerships with the general and specialised press,

    airlines and tour operators, among others, is fundamental in or-

    der to take advantage of synergies in tourism promotion and

    access to niche markets with high potential.

    Strengthening the image of Lisbon is also based on the promotion

    of tourism products and resources according to the motivations

    and demands of the targeted markets and segments. However,

    we must also maintain the degree of investment in image and

    promotional material while adapting it to a new reality and

    reduce investment in traditional media and ofine publicity.Demand in the various outbound markets should be

    segmented. Priority should be given to investment in promo-

    tion aimed at target segments, taking their motivations and

    preferences into consideration.

    Projecting LisbonA tourist destinations growth and consolidation are pro-cesses that are as difficult as its creation, if not more so.

    A forward-looking vision, strategy, sustainability and the

    ability to innovate are determining factors in its success.

    Lisbon is no exception to this.

    In a global society where information travels at the speed of

    light and supply exceeds demand, it is as important to have

    a distinctive tourism offering as it is to define a strategic

    vision that matches the profile of the tourists we seek toattract, one that is based on their preferences and motiva-

    tions.

    Lisbons continued recognition as a tourist destination par

    excellence is both a source of pride and a sign that, in order

    to do more and do better, it is essential to possess creativity,

    strategy and a strong focus.

    Now that we have presented this new plan, we must make

    the necessary efforts to have, in 2014, a Lisbon that is better

    known and better promoted on an international level.

    Lisbon has reached a very high level of recognition. For thatreason, any new step taken to promote the destination will

    indeed be a great one.
