Kristen Adamo of @goprovidence, hopped the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority bus with our team members John Flaherty and Jillian Finkle up to Thayer Street to talk tourism, transportation, Main Streets and supporting small business through the CVB’s @buylocalRI program.
“Our organization books meetings, conventions and sporting events in Providence and throughout the state. In FY23, we booked 244 events worth a projected $93.8 million for Rhode Island. In competing with other destinations for that business, we tout the region’s strengths, like its culinary scene, cultural offerings, and accessibility. One key to having a vibrant, accessible city is to have a safe, affordable, and easy-to-use public transportation system”, said Kristen Adamo, President and CEO of GoProvidence.
Reliable, accessible transit networks make destinations more attractive and accessible to visitors, creating the seamless experience they expect while fueling the local economy. For Rhode Island, doubling down on investments in transit is not only a way to support residents but also a strategic way to sustain and grow our share of the tourism economy. With every new rider, every bustling Main Street, and every dollar reinvested, transit is an engine driving tourism’s powerful ripple effect across the Ocean State.

The coordination and harmonisation of fares paves the way for an efficient and attractive network. That’s why service coordination through the timetabling process is just one of our activities…
NAM: Study of an Adour - Pyrenees fare network
Nouvelle Aquitaine Mobilités (NAM) is a group of public transport authorities in the Nouvelle Aquitaine region. SMA has been commissioned to support NAM and its members in setting up a fare network covering the French Basque Country, the southern Landes department, the Adour Valley and the Pyrenees. The aim of such a project is to unify the fares of the various public transport networks in this area (road and rail, urban and interurban), in order to make them easier to use and to erase the borders between the individual networks.

A Marketer's Guide To A Tourism Dream: Safia and VisitCanberra's YouTube Collaboration
In today's digital world, exploring opportunities between music and tourism bodies is a good shout.
On Wednesday night I was lucky enough to see Canberra’s favourite band perform, not at my local but at the local Palace Electric.
Created in partnership with Visit Canberra, we watched a recorded performance of a SAFIA set from their new album "A Lover's Guide To A Lucid Dream". I swapped the popcorn out for a Coast Ale and watched the sunrise set recorded in the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve.
This was a small local premiere, the ultimate intended audience: 2 billion monthly users of Youtube.
Here are a few thoughts on how such collaborations are a win/win for both parties:
Authenticity: Musicians have the ability to craft soundscapes that evoke emotions of a particular locale. Visit Canberra has provided viewers an authentic glimpse into the bushland of Canberra. This stunning result will inspire wanderlust and connection.
Culture: As sons of Canberra, there are no better ambassadors to highlight the strength of Canberra’s arts and culture scene than Safia. This association of Nature and Culture are powerful additions to the established attributes of the ACT like National Institutions and World Class Hospitality.
Engagement and Outreach: YouTube boasts over 2 billion logged-in monthly users, making it a prime platform for reaching global audiences. By partnering with musicians to create engaging content, tourism departments can expand their reach and engage with diverse demographics.
The power of collaboration: In this post-covid sitch where the arts have been wounded and tourists are clamouring to explore, this an effective win/win for all the parties involved. It's a mutually beneficial arrangement that can aid in the recovery efforts of both industries.
As technology continues to advance, immersive experiences will become increasingly prevalent. By embracing partnerships that highlight authenticity, tourism efforts can stay ahead of the curve and offer unique experiences that appeal to younger travellers.
Well done Tara Cheyne & Safia. The video launched yesterday, you can take a look here
