The program is now being rolled out in the Nicola Valley. It is a program sponsored and supported by the good people at <strong>Tourism Nicola Valley<\/strong>. However, having the where-for-all and the understanding that tourism is changing fast are the most admirable qualities of the Tourism Nicola Valley group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"509\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/small-communities-800x509.jpg\" alt=\"Community Marketing\" class=\"wp-image-9549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/small-communities-800x509.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/small-communities-150x95.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/small-communities-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/small-communities-768x488.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/small-communities.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What makes the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\"><strong>eh Canada Travel<\/strong><\/a> Community Content Marketing Program so special is that it brings people together from all walks of life who otherwise may not have met. It creates a community pride that may have been lost over time. However, the benefits of giving locals a voice and a platform to share their stories and experiences has such far reaching results for the community and region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Community Marketing Reviews<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <strong>community<\/strong> <strong>marketing training<\/strong> sessions are getting some rave reviews. It is a big learning curve for many as this program is the first of its kind in Canada and is so different from current tourism marketing models. It takes some time to wrap your head around it. However, it is a program which is seeing triple digit increases as the months roll on. The results are there and they are showing positive numbers unlike any community program I have ever witnessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Feedback is King in Tourism<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So I asked the participates in our training sessions for some feedback, as like them, I too want to get better at teaching and coaching and have a better understanding where they are having difficulties in the content creation process. I, for one, want to always keep learning and looking for the positive. I have seen in the tourism industry over the years how ego, selfishness and arrogance can really diminish the tourism capacity of a community.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background has-vivid-red-color has-very-light-gray-background-color\"><strong>So I passed out a questionnaire for some feedback &#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How likely would you be to recommend this community blogging program to another community?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Yes, I would recommend this program because its interesting and the bigger the program the stronger communities stand!&#8221; Traci Marie Nixon<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Likely&#8230; great program and informative.&#8221; Michelle Bacon<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Very likely!
