journey
![Page 21: How to attract European visitors to your hotel in Cornwall](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58811d7b1a28abb9388b63d1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Before the tripLocalised online presence to make sure people FIND you when searching in THEIR language
• Website• Social media• Targeted Google Ads• In-country advertising/promotion• Boost German traffic with localised directory
sites like UrlaubCornwall
![Page 22: How to attract European visitors to your hotel in Cornwall](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58811d7b1a28abb9388b63d1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
At the destinationHelp visitors feel welcome and make the most out of their stay – focus on print materials
• Maps• Translated welcome pack with information on local
transport, places to go, things to to, etc• Localised area on your website about places to go,
attractions etc (great way to get them back on your site once they’re here and upsell your other products like spa, golf, etc)
• Organised transfers to/from airport to hotel?• Offer special car rental deals so visitors can get around
easier? Or even upsell day tours or concierge service?
![Page 23: How to attract European visitors to your hotel in Cornwall](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58811d7b1a28abb9388b63d1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Is it worth investing in translation?• Think about what you want to achieve (attract
new visitors or upsell to existing visitors? Attract more new direct visitors rather than through commission sites?)
• Think about your ROI – weigh up cost against realistic and potential return
• Translation cost is measurable (price per word for translation, hourly rate for services like social media management and SEO), also include web dev + print cost in your calculations
![Page 24: How to attract European visitors to your hotel in Cornwall](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58811d7b1a28abb9388b63d1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Is it worth investing in translation?
• Keep cost down by focusing on ‘static content’ first (room info, places to go info, etc) that doesn’t change often and can be re-used for print and web
• Think about long-term costs (updating translations, website updates, printing updated brochures etc)
![Page 25: How to attract European visitors to your hotel in Cornwall](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58811d7b1a28abb9388b63d1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Is it worth investing in translation?
• Long-term, develop an English-first content strategy but keep localisation in mind from the start
• Think about engagement in social media – do you currently create engaging visual content that could be easily adapted for overseas segment and shared on social? (subtitling on videos etc)
![Page 26: How to attract European visitors to your hotel in Cornwall](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58811d7b1a28abb9388b63d1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Translation is not a one-off project.
It shouldn’t be an after-thought.
You are better off not doing it than doing it half-heartedly.
![Page 27: How to attract European visitors to your hotel in Cornwall](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58811d7b1a28abb9388b63d1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Bad translations will damage your brand.
Translation is a long-term marketing strategy.
But done right, it can be fantastic contributor to overall business growth.
