Abstract

Public bodies in the tourism sector are providers of essential services, equipment, and infrastructure for its correct development. However, they must also be promoters of the tourist destination at a global level. In this aspect, communication tools play a fundamental role in informing and giving visibility to a region of interest to its audiences. To achieve this purpose, coordination and collaboration between the public and private sectors are essential. Institutional advertising messages often coexist with advertising messages for private products and services. In the latter, the marketing of the destination and the obtaining of profits prevail, while institutional advertising is more oriented towards offering attractive destinations for potential tourists, that is, it is the one that participates to a greater extent in the creation of the image of a destination.


In this context, the territorial brand Rutas Comuneras de Castilla y León has a series of tourist products and services that must be marketed and promoted, so this article analyzes the most used means and formats to make themselves known and, also with the strategic objective of carrying out new actions that can correct possible communicative incidents and improve the image of strategic audiences.


With this intention, a review of the advertising content most used by the Rutas Comuneras brand is carried out and thus understand its cultural and experiential communication.
