Tourism and event marketing that reaches visitors before they pick a weekend

Tourism marketing is how a visitor searching “things to do in Biloxi this weekend” picks your event, attraction or rental. We film it, sell the tickets and run the ads that make yours the one they book, from the team behind Go Coast Events.

What visitors decide early

Visitors pick their weekend before they ever reach the Coast

By the time a family checks in, they already chose the beach, the restaurant, the festival and the rental from a phone, and the businesses that weren't in that search never got a chance.

Events have it harder, because a festival has one weekend to sell out, and the posts, ads and ticket links have to land weeks ahead instead of the Thursday before.

Buying the visit back is not cheap either, since a lead from Google Ads cost travel businesses $44.70 on average in 2026, according to WordStream's 2026 Google Ads benchmarks.

$2.2 billion

in economic impact came from 15.7 million visitors to Coastal Mississippi in 2024, according to Coastal Mississippi.

The visitors are already coming, and the businesses they see first get the booking.

What we build for tourism and events

From the first look to the ticket in their hand

Video makes them want to come, the website and ticketing let them book, and the ads find them weeks before they leave home.

Straight answers

What tourism businesses ask before they hire anyone

“We sell out in summer anyway.”

Then the work is filling the shoulder months and the weekdays, when ads, emails and videos bring back past guests and reach locals looking for something to do.

“We list our rentals on Airbnb and Vrbo.”

Keep them, and add a website where returning guests can book with you directly, so the guest's contact stays with you for next year.

“Can you film our event?”

Yes, with a crew on the ground and an FAA Part 107 drone in the air, and we can turn the footage into the ads and posts that sell next year's event.

“How do tickets work?”

Your event goes on Go Coast Events with your own ticket types, vendor sign-ups and promo codes, and sales are paid out to your own Stripe account.
