DESTINATIONS NEED TO TELL BRAND STORIES
More than ever before, countries have the opportunity to define how
they want to be perceived.
Countries must capitalize on areas of competitive advantage that
will lead to a powerful image and influence.
No longer can one industry drive a country’s brand – most visibly
tourism – to achieve clear differentiation.
Soon a country’s success will not be defined by its hemisphere,
but by the strength of its voice heard around the globe.
