ABAV EXPOPalestra approached strategies that confer power and influence to a destination, ensuring that it creates a differential in the tourist market

By Geraldo Gurgel According to advertising firm Patricia Sevilla, "power" talks to the "self-esteem" of a destination and also with the ability to establish its market differentials. Photo: Geraldo Gurgel / MTurMais than a word of fashion, the concept of "empowerment" also applies to tourism. The theme was presented on Thursday afternoon (27) in a speech by São Paulo publicist Patrícia Sevilla, a specialist in destination marketing, during the 46th Abav International Expo. According to her, an empowered destination does not fit with the attractions already available and with the excellent standard of services already offered to visitors. "Empowered destiny is always preparing to attract more and better serve the visitors. It makes tourism a sustainable and good activity both for those who live and for those who visit the place, "said Patricia in a panel held on this World Tourism Day at the Connections Arena of the Village of Knowledge of the Anhembi Pavilion in São Paulo. if a destination efficiently positions its image in the market and thus differentiates itself from competitors. "The 'different' destination will always attract the tourist to its attractions, not making room for doubt among other similar attractions. The tourist organizes the trip already knowing what will do when arriving at the place that chose to visit, "he said. The marketer stressed that the sales results are better when the segmentation and dissemination of tourism products is accurate. "Fate has to have regular products and services, preferably made available on digital platforms. Attractions and services that do not work with precise price, day, time and location do not help a destination that seeks its empowerment in tourism, "said the publicity. Tourism is considered a business that makes people happy and the secret of this is in personal contact and in the experiences that involve people, said Patricia. "The technology helps, but it does not replace the good service and the quality of a service. The human factor in tourism will never disappear, "he said. The publicist argued that the prevailing factor in a strategy of empowering the destination is the constant search for the enchantment of the visitor. "Services, products and destinations well evaluated by tourists themselves attract new visitors. The destinations grow and appreciate in the market, empower themselves and make tourism happen with force and expression, "he concluded.Edition: Vanessa Sampaio

To make 20 € of races in a grocery store, to pay 50 € by credit card and to recover from the shopkeeper 30 € in cash: this type of transaction is now authorized in France. This so-called "cash back" practice is included in the European Payment Services Directive (PSD2).

Withdrawing cash at the supermarket checkout at the time of purchase is already widespread in Europe where this payday use, according to a study by the European Central Bank published in November 2017, represents around 7% of total withdrawals, transactions with ATMs approaching 40%.

This new service has already been set up in a major brand in France and should gradually expand over the territory.

Useful in rural areas, the "cash back" can also interest people unfamiliar with new technologies, as well as consumers with very modest income hypermarkets customers who want to control their expenses. Beyond the service provided to customers, this system is also useful to the distributor, facilitating his cash management.

To know :

Order 2017-1252 of 9 August 2017 transposing the European directive updates the legal framework for payment services, in order to adapt it to new types of players and products, to better protect the consumer, to enhance data security and support innovation. It has been ratified by the law of 3 August 2018. A decree (not yet published) must nevertheless specify the maximum amount in cash that can be disbursed in this context.
