Opening Doors to Unique Promotional Opportunities

Tourism organizations and game developers rarely find each other naturally, despite having complementary goals. We bridge that gap by creating partnerships where your travel-themed game gains promotional visibility and destinations receive engaging digital content that reaches new audiences. These connections open opportunities that wouldn't exist if you approached tourism marketing organizations alone.

Destination Marketing Access

Direct connections to tourism boards and destination marketing organizations actively seeking innovative promotion channels

Mutual Benefit Arrangements

Partnerships structured so both your game and destinations gain value through collaboration

Promotional Visibility

Exposure through tourism marketing channels that reach audiences you couldn't access independently

Credibility Enhancement

Association with recognized destinations adds legitimacy and cultural authenticity to your game

The Challenge of Reaching Tourism Organizations

You've created a travel-themed game that features specific destinations or embodies the spirit of vacation culture. Perhaps your game showcases beaches, mountains, cities, or other locations that real tourism organizations actively promote. The connection between your game and destination marketing seems natural, yet figuring out how to approach tourism boards or marketing organizations feels unclear.

Tourism organizations receive countless partnership proposals from traditional advertisers, travel companies, and media outlets. As a game developer, you're offering something different, but explaining that value in terms they understand requires speaking both gaming and tourism marketing languages. Without existing relationships or industry connections, even getting someone to review your proposal becomes difficult.

There's also the question of what to propose. Should you ask for promotional support? Offer to feature their destination? Request funding? Suggest content collaboration? Each tourism organization has different priorities and partnership structures. Proposing the wrong arrangement wastes everyone's time and potentially closes doors that could have opened with a better approach.

Even if you manage to connect with someone at a tourism board, demonstrating why they should care about your game requires understanding what they're trying to accomplish. If you position your game purely from your own perspective rather than addressing their marketing goals, the conversation goes nowhere regardless of how good your game actually is.

Building Bridges Between Gaming and Tourism

Our location in Barcelona gives us daily exposure to how tourism marketing actually works. We see which destinations successfully attract visitors, understand the challenges tourism boards face in reaching younger audiences, and recognize why traditional marketing channels sometimes fall short. This perspective helps us position game partnerships in terms that resonate with tourism professionals.

When we develop tourism partnerships for games, we start by analyzing what your specific game offers from a destination marketing perspective. Does it showcase locations authentically? Does it reach demographics tourism boards want to engage? Does it create positive associations with travel and exploration? These factors determine which destinations make sense as partnership targets and how to structure proposals that address their actual needs.

We handle the initial outreach and relationship building. Tourism organizations often respond differently to someone who understands their industry and can articulate value propositions clearly. We frame your game as a solution to their marketing challenges rather than just another partnership request, which changes how decision-makers evaluate the opportunity.

Partnership structures get customized based on what each destination can offer and what your game needs. Sometimes it's promotional support through their social media channels. Other times it's content collaboration where they provide authentic materials. Occasionally it involves sponsorship funding. We identify what works for both parties and facilitate arrangements where everyone gains something meaningful from the collaboration.

How We Develop Tourism Partnerships for Games

1

Game Analysis and Target Identification

We examine your game to understand which destinations it features or embodies thematically. This analysis identifies tourism organizations that would benefit from association with your content. Not every destination makes sense as a partnership target – we focus on organizations whose marketing goals align with what your game actually offers.

2

Value Proposition Development

We craft proposals that speak to tourism marketing priorities. This means framing your game in terms of audience reach, demographic targeting, content authenticity, and promotional value rather than just describing gameplay features. Tourism professionals evaluate partnerships through marketing metrics, so proposals need to address those specific concerns.

3

Initial Outreach and Relationship Building

We contact tourism organizations on your behalf, leveraging our understanding of the industry to get past initial gatekeepers and reach decision-makers. These conversations establish relationships and gauge interest before proposing specific partnership structures. Some destinations respond enthusiastically, others aren't interested, and we handle both outcomes professionally.

4

Partnership Structure Negotiation

Once a destination shows interest, we work with both parties to structure arrangements that provide clear mutual benefits. This includes defining what each side contributes, establishing timelines and deliverables, and creating agreements that protect everyone's interests. We facilitate these discussions until both you and the tourism organization feel satisfied with the arrangement.

5

Implementation Support and Followup

After partnerships are established, we remain available to help coordinate activities and address any questions or concerns that arise. Tourism collaborations work best when both parties maintain communication and fulfill commitments, so we provide support that keeps relationships positive and productive throughout the partnership duration.

Why Tourism Partnerships Benefit Travel-Themed Games

Tourism organizations increasingly look for innovative ways to reach younger demographics who spend less time with traditional travel media. Games provide engagement that magazine ads and website banners cannot match. When your travel-themed game partners with destinations, you offer them something genuinely valuable – authentic connection with audiences they struggle to reach through conventional marketing.

These partnerships work because the benefits flow in both directions. Your game gains credibility through association with recognized destinations, access to promotional channels with established audiences, and sometimes financial support or content resources. Destinations receive engaging digital content that showcases them to new audiences in ways that feel organic rather than promotional.

Success depends on identifying destinations whose marketing goals align with what your game offers. Not every tourism board will see value in game partnerships, and pursuing organizations that aren't interested wastes everyone's time. We focus effort on destinations likely to respond positively, which increases the probability of establishing productive collaborations.

Approaching Partnership Development Realistically

Partnership development carries inherent uncertainty. We can identify appropriate destinations, craft compelling proposals, and facilitate productive conversations, but we cannot guarantee that any specific tourism organization will agree to partner with your game. Their decisions depend on factors outside our control – current marketing priorities, budget availability, organizational policies, and internal approval processes.

What we can promise is professional effort and honest communication throughout the process. You'll know which destinations we're approaching, how conversations progress, and why certain organizations decline or show interest. This transparency lets you make informed decisions about whether to pursue additional targets or focus elsewhere if initial outreach doesn't generate the partnerships you hoped for.

If we establish partnerships that don't develop as expected after agreements are signed, we'll work with you to address concerns and maintain positive relationships with tourism organizations. Sometimes collaborations need adjustment as circumstances change, and we facilitate those conversations to keep arrangements beneficial for everyone involved.
