Hi welcome to Tourism Web Marketing, a site designed specifically for Tourism Operators – all over the world!
It is our mission to educate, inspire and EMPOWER you to take control of your web presence to help you make more money and get more customers from your website and online marketing endeavors!
It’s no secret that a majority of your customers are either making their bookings or doing their research on the internet before they take their holiday – which is why internet marketing for your business is SO IMPORTANT – yet it is usually the most poorly structured component of the average businesses marketing strategies.
Google, Youtube, Search Engine Optimization, Social Media Marketing – you have probably heard of it all, you’re aware of it – but you’re either lacking the time, money or knowledge to implement a successful strategy – or you have absolutely NO IDEA where to start!

How do I know? Because I am one of you!
I have been in your shoes! Getting quotes for websites, being thrown absurd figures and then being charged through the nose just to make small changes!
THE HARD FACT IS regular web design companies can offer you a beautiful website – but how would you know if this website is really working for you? Are you staying in touch with your website visitors, are you communicating with them once they make their booking – I’m guessing probably not in most cases. When you approach a web design company – you expect them to be the ‘experts’ and give you what you need – however this is generally not the case -this is because they are DESIGNERS not MARKETERS.

I have been involved in the tourism industry for over 6 years and have been internet marketing for a little over 3. In the 3 years that I have been Internet Marketing – technology and the way you are able to communicate with your customers has changed dramatically.
I’m afraid the old school approaches, namely a basic brochure style website no longer really cuts it – you might get away with it for now, however as things are moving so rapidly, if your competitors start implementing the tactics I promote and you don’t you WILL BE LEFT BEHIND.
I am able to show you how to harness the power of the internet and make it EASY for you to implement systems and strategies that will put your business in front of the pack!
WHO IS KAT? and Why should you care?
My name is Kat Hudson and I am one of you! I have lived, breathed and worked in the tourism industry; running a small charter operation for over 6 years. Using a fresh approach I took the business to being the leaders in a competitive niche, on a tour which could only take 20 people per day, we averaged 18.5 (don’t ask me where the .5 comes from lol). Being fiercely competitive in nature I took great pride in outdoing the other companies – it became a game to me! 
I am absolutely passionate about the tourism industry – during my time in the industry I liaised with government departments, organized TV appearances, got to mingle with the odd star – my favourite being Grant Denyer from TV’s “Sunrise” show (he signed a beer mat for my mum which she proudly has glued to the wall of her bar).
I won state and national awards for my company and become well known throughout the industry – simply because I had so much passion!

However my passion for the industry couldn’t sustain the other passions in my life – when the BOOM hit WA I was left feeling peeved to say the least! Everything went through the roof, the cost of rent, fuel, food and just general day to day living! I simply could not afford to remain on tourism wages and stay in the town I LOVED!
This is when I began Internet Marketing. I decided to supplement my tourism income with cash from Internet based business!
What I went on to discover was absolutely PHENOMENAL. I quickly discovered the secrets that 6 figure per month web entrepreneurs were using could work like gang busters in the tourism industry!!
It wasn’t until leaving the company to have my first child in 2009 that I decided to combine my passions of Internet Marketing and Tourism. I am now pasisonate about sharing what I know with you so that you can:
- Make More Money
- Take charge of your web marketing &
- Increase your business
I look forward to working with you!
To your phenomenal success!
