Abstract

The promotion of events is analyzed as an opportunity to generate significant experiences between customers and brands. The adequate promotion of tourist events has become an urgent challenge to attract tourists to the destination and focus the communication strategy from the experience. Methodology:We proceed to review the experiential communication strategies based on the content analysis of the description of each of the events held in Spain in 2021 and promoted on the official website of Tourism of Spain (Spain.info). Results: The main consequences determine that experiential communication is poor and creative strategies focused on experience are underdeveloped, despite the fact that tourists can live optimal experiences in events designed and organized for this purpose, the descriptions are not presented as invitations to live experiences attractive. Discussion:Given the above, it has been possible to identify factors associated with the events described as richer experiences when the experience is oriented to the educational and escapist dimension, or when it is directed to the sports segment. The Autonomous Communities with the most optimized experiential communications have been identified and the core values that are most frequently included in the richest descriptions of experiences have been deepened. Conclusions:In the end, we found that destination promoters should consider the Spain.info Agenda as a powerful tool to describe experiences that attract tourists to destination events, adding value to the brand.
