Bill Geist, whose Zeitgeist Consulting website (http://zeitgeistconsulting.com/About.aspx – sign up for his free newsletter) is always a source of interesting information on “Tourism. Trends. Tactics.Technology.,” has also created DMOPro.com, packed with useful links and posts.
And if you need a good example of a crisis communications plan, two are available, from New Orleans and Ohio, right here: http://www.dmopro.com/Library/CrisisPlanningManagement.aspx
At 64 pages, Ohio’s is far longer than NOLA’s 16, but includes helpful tips on handling interviews, and serving as a spokesperson. Though it’s dated 2003, much is still relevant today.
Download them both, read them over, review my Four Steps to preparing yours, and – get going!
