North Star Destination Strategies has been working with communities for more than a 15 years, helping them uncover, define, implement and integrate their own unique competitive identities. Our experience has shown that there is no substitute for comprehensive research when it comes to establishing a bedrock of solid support for all future marketing efforts. But savvy destination leaders are realizing that research shouldn’t end just because a brand identity is in place. Ongoing research efforts offer numerous benefits that allow destinations to refine, reinforce or redirect their competitive growth strategies to ensure ongoing success.
In 2006, the Dublin Convention and Visitors Bureau partnered with North Star on an initial destination branding project. The initiative uncovered a competitive identity based on the area’s relationship to Dublin, Ireland, which posits that despite a lack of Irish heritage, travelers expect an authentic Irish experience. Recommendations included fully embracing Dublin’s connection to Ireland because “although you may not have true Irish in your blood, you certainly have it in your heart.” Thus, the line “Irish is an Attitude” was developed to identify Dublin as a destination.
In 2011, the Dublin Convention and Visitors Bureau again partnered with North Star to evaluate any changes in brand image and perceptions among consumers, quantify visitation patterns and separately identify and compare core segments. Now again in 2016, the Dublin Convention and Visitors Bureau has partnered with North Star to compare and contrast the findings from the previously conducted studies to offer insight and direction for moving forward.
The study that follows provides a detailed understanding of visitation patterns and perceptions associated with Dublin, which is a critical part of crafting marketing strategies that will attract more visitors, more often. The Executive Summary represents a snapshot of the critical insights from the research. Detailed findings are compiled in the Final Research report that follows.

All Responses Overall, Dublin visitors are very loyal and satisfied with their experience. 40% of Dublin visitors have visited 4 or more times in the past two years and 93% of visitors said they were likely to return. Satisfied visitors that return again and again are essential for long-term growth and should be celebrated as a major success for Dublin.
Your visitors responded overwhelmingly in the affirmative (96%) that they were able to find enough resources to plan their trip and those respondents listed your website as their leading and most trustworthy source (32%) of information for travel to Dublin.
Visitors are mostly regional (within driving distance) as “personal car” was by far the most-used method of travel. When your visitors stayed overnight, most stayed in a hotel (72%), in Dublin (67%) for two nights (45%).
In terms of descriptors and perceptions, Dublin’s “Irish” reputation remains the dominant perception across all audiences for aided and unaided questions (open-ended and multiple choice). This is communicated by the word cloud and multiple choice response (31%) and the “Irish-theme” descriptor ranking (9.05/10). This represents continued success and improvement in the appreciation of the “Irish” centered brand both quantitatively and qualitatively since the 2011 study.
The most trustworthy source of information from both your visitors and potential visitors (those who said they have not visited, but are likely to do so in the future) is the DCVB’s website. Typically the most trustworthy source of information from North Star studies (confirmed by Edelman's Trust Barometer) is peer-to-peer. This indicates that additional investment in online marketing would be valuable.
Cross Tabulation & Core SegmentsResponse rates were sufficient to allow for two core cross tabulations: visitors compared to non-visitors and event visitors compared to attraction visitors.

![Page 5: Dublin Visitor Study - Cloudinary · again and again are essential for long-term growth and should be celebrated as a major success for Dublin. Your visitors responded overwhelmingly](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050208/5f5adf36d54bbc484256e90b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Cross Tabulation & Core Segments (Visitor and Non-Visitor)Visitors comprised 61% of all responses and non-visitors comprised 39%. Non-visitors believed Dublin is “Irish-inspired” to a greater degree than visitors (41% and 26% respectively). This is indicative of the fact that Dublin’s brand marketing has a greater concentration of “Irish-inspired” communication content than the experience Dublin itself offers. That said, “Irish theme” was the dominant descriptor for both visitors and non-visitors.
In terms of primary purpose of visitation, your attractions (Zoo and Aquarium) and core events (Irish Festival and Memorial Tournament) are your top trip purposes for both visitors and potential visitors.
In general both visitors and non-visitors gave Dublin assets high marks. Visitor rankings are greater than non-visitor rankings in every category with the exception of “Irish theme” with a slight difference of 9.01 for visitor ranking and 9.11 for non-visitor ranking.
Cross Tabulation & Core Segments (Event and Attraction Visitors) This cross-tabulation was formulated by those who indicated they visited Dublin for an event (Irish Festival, Memorial Tournament, etc) and those who had visited Dublin for an attraction (Zoo, Zoombezi Bay, etc). The event visitor skewed slightly older with 35% of the respondents in the 55-64 range, as compared to the attraction visitors who had their largest representation in the 44-54 range (30%).
Attraction visitors are slightly more likely to be high volume visitors (4 or more times in the past two years) at 37% compared to 32% of the event visitors in the same category. Event visitors, however, are slightly more likely to change their perception upon visitation at 43% compared to the attraction visitors at 37%. Advertising recall and influence were roughly the same for both audiences.
The event visitors described Dublin as “Irish-inspired” at a slightly higher rate of 37% compared to 29% for the attraction visitors. It was, however, the top descriptor for both.
The following report includes several more details across all categories and highlights key takeaways based on data.

RespondentsThe survey link was emailed to 8,600 inquiry e-mail records spanning from 2009 - 2016. An example of those invitations can be found in Appendix A. The average open rate and click-through rate for these emails was 20% and 30% respectively. Based on this open rate and subsequent total survey responses, the response rate for those that opened the email was 13.48%.
The survey was open from January 18, 2016 to February 22, 2016.
The survey collected 232 respondents not terminated due to age (under 18) or being from Dublin, Ohio. Given that the entire visitor population is roughly 2.6 million (as indicated by the Dublin CVB 2015 Annual Report), this survey has a 95% confidence level and a +/- 6.43 confidence interval. Data in charts is rounded and in some cases the represented data does not equal 100, but is accurate.
MethodologyNorth Star developed a survey instrument based on the DCVB’s primary goals, objectives and marketing needs as well as the desire to measure changes from the previously conducted study in 2011. The survey instrument was designed to elicit reactions from Dublin consumers and potential consumers of Dublin as a destination, and compare responses to various visitor types. Questions were comprised of both open-ended and multiple-choice questions. Survey flow was designed to route respondents through the appropriate follow-up questions based on previous answers. The survey instrument can be found in Appendix B. The raw open-ended responses can be found in Appendix C. To improve response rate, the DCVB included an incentive of a chance to win four free Columbus Zoo or Irish Festival passes. Those who entered and three winners selected randomly in order of their selection are attached in Appendix D.

Advocacy Comparisons
2016: 9.08
Significant research on a wide variety of customer satisfaction metrics found a single powerful question has the greatest ability both to measure current visitation satisfaction and predict future destination growth. That question, “Would you
recommend traveling to a destination to a friend or colleague?” is powerful because it surpasses the basic model where money is spent for products or services. People who score their destination high on the Brand Barometer actively attract
visitors through positive word-of-mouth marketing. It is very personal. By making a strong recommendation, they are willing to risk their own character, trustworthiness and overall reputation for no tangible reward. We compare against the United
States average and the previously conducted study to focus on the delta growth in visitation advocacy.
On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being lowest and 10 being highest, how likely would you be to recommend traveling to Dublin, Ohio to a friend, family, or colleague?
