From SEO that fills booking calendars to Google Ads that capture ready-to-book travelers, Vigilante Marketing builds and runs the marketing engine your tourism business actually needs — without the agency runaround.
The tourism market is competitive, seasonal, and driven by the traveler’s digital journey. Guests research destinations, compare properties, and book online — often without ever speaking to your team. The difference between full occupancy and empty rooms often comes down to whether your marketing is reaching the right people at the right moment.
At Vigilante Marketing, we build strategies for tourism businesses that need more than a generic agency approach — because cookie-cutter campaigns don’t fill rooms or book tours.
You’re competing with OTAs, other properties, and a traveler base that has endless options. We build marketing strategies that drive direct bookings and reduce your dependence on commission-heavy platforms. From SEO that ranks your property for high-intent searches to Google Ads that capture travelers in booking mode, we give you the visibility and conversion tools that move the needle.
Whether you’re a boutique hotel, a full-service resort, or a multi-location chain, the goal is the same: more direct bookings, better margins, and a marketing engine that runs whether you’re in peak season or working through the shoulder months.
You’re marketing an entire region to the world. We help you attract travelers through organic search, paid campaigns, and content that showcases what makes your destination unmissable. We understand the complexity of multi-stakeholder DMO marketing and build strategies that serve the destination while delivering measurable results.
We’ve worked with regional tourism organizations that need to drive visitation without losing sight of their member businesses. We know how to build campaigns that work at the destination level — not just for a single property.
Your tours and experiences are the reason people come. We help more of them find you — and book with you. Whether you run guided adventures, cultural experiences, culinary tours, or wildlife encounters, we put your offering in front of travelers who are actively searching for what you do.
Travel starts with search. We optimize your website for the searches that matter: “best hotels in [city]”, “things to do in [destination]”, “adventure tours near [region]”.
Capture travelers who are ready to book right now.
Travel is visual — and social media is where decisions get made. Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook are where travelers find inspiration, build wish lists, and book.
Your website is your most important sales tool — and most tourism websites are quietly losing bookings every day.
Your past guests are your best future guests.
Consistency wins. Our monthly retainers give you a dedicated team running your SEO, paid ads, social media, and reporting every single month — for a predictable monthly investment.
We start by learning your business inside and out. Your peak seasons, your ideal guests, your booking channels, your current marketing gaps. No assumptions, no cookie-cutter playbooks — just a clear picture of where you are and where you need to go.
Before we build, we diagnose. We audit your website, local listings, social presence, paid ad history, and SEO rankings to identify exactly what’s costing you bookings and what’s already working in your favour. You’ll know more about your own digital presence after this than you ever have.
You get a custom marketing strategy built around your specific goals — not a generic agency deck. This is your roadmap: which channels to prioritize, what messaging will convert your audience, how to structure your campaigns around your booking calendar, and what KPIs we’re holding ourselves to.
We build it, launch it, and manage it — and we keep improving it. Every campaign is tracked and reported. Every dollar is accounted for. Monthly strategy calls keep you informed and in control. You don’t need to chase us for updates; we bring them to you.

We work with hotels and resorts, bed and breakfasts, lodges, tourism boards and DMOs, guided tour operators, adventure experience companies, vacation rental managers, and regional visitor centres. If your business depends on getting people through the door — or onto a booking page — we can help.
Most clients start seeing measurable improvements in traffic and inquiry volume within the first 60–90 days. Paid search and social campaigns can drive leads within the first few weeks. SEO and organic content take longer — typically 3–6 months to build momentum — but deliver compounding returns. We’ll set realistic timelines during your initial consultation so you know exactly what to expect and when.
Yes. While we have deep roots in British Columbia’s tourism market, we work with tourism businesses across Canada and beyond. Our experience with destination marketing, seasonal campaign structures, and digital advertising translates well across any geographic market.
Every retainer is scoped to your specific business needs, but most include some combination of: SEO and local search management, paid advertising (Google Ads, Meta Ads), content creation and social media management, email marketing, and monthly reporting and strategy calls. You get a dedicated team — not a rotating cast of account managers — and a clear breakdown of where your budget is going and what it’s producing.
This is one of our core strengths. We build campaign calendars around your booking windows — ramping up paid spend before your peak season hits, pivoting messaging to drive shoulder-season bookings with targeted promotions, and maintaining brand presence year-round so you’re not starting from zero each spring. Seasonality is a feature of tourism marketing, not a problem to apologize for.
Book a free consultation. We’ll spend 30 minutes learning about your business, your goals, and your current marketing situation. From there, we’ll put together a proposal that outlines exactly what we’d do, what it costs, and what results you can expect. No pressure, no commitment required.
Let’s build a strategy that fills your rooms, drives bookings, and grows your business year-round. Your first consultation is free, and there’s no obligation.
