Let me help you take full advantage of the economic recovery
that's already started and will continue throughout 2011...

Hello:

I'm David Boggs, owner of ACRO Global.

Since 1995 we've been tracking regional, national and international tourism trends and research in real time, and using the knowledge we've gained to help tourism organizations on six continents succeed in meeting their chosen business objectives.

We know that 2008, 2009 and 2010 have been the toughest years for the tourism industry since the crisis period following September 11th, 2001. Since 2007, during what was arguably the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, America lost more than 10 million jobs, the stock markets lost over half their value and retail sales fell by 11%.

During this same period, as many as 80% of Americans cut back on their leisure travel plans, and tourism spending declined at a rate of more than 6% per year.

But research results from the fourth quarter of 2010 and the first quarter of 2011 to date have convinced us that a turnaround in world and US travel began in 2010 and is accelerating in 2011.

By acting on this research - learning lessons from it, translating those lessons into marketing and advertising strategies and tactics, and using and testing those strategies and tactics to benefit our clients - we've learned the secrets for success in the tourism business in 2011.

And because we all benefit from a strong tourism industry, we want to share those secrets with you FREE through a membership in our tourism insider group ACRO Global Select.
