The mobile first connected approach
As travel increases, so does the need for a place to stay. Despite the growth of AirBnb, hotels continue to see a large demand from Canadians traveling domestically and internationally.
Hotels looking to connect with travellers can leverage mobile advertising to advertise on apps and mobile browsers with precision timing.
For tourism, destinations are targeting locations of gathering such as theme parks, beaches, campgrounds, national parks, landmarks, and resorts on mobile ads that help create awareness and even drive conversion.
