Hi everyone,
Following up on our recent Brand Storytelling webinar, I came across some interesting stats that really highlight the importance of quality design in tourism branding. Whether you’re working on brand visuals, updating your website, or posting on social media, these insights show just how powerful good design can be for building trust, engaging travelers, and creating lasting connections.
Some Key Stats
Authentic Brand Personality: 86% of consumers prefer brands that show an authentic and honest personality on social media. Tourism brands that embrace their unique story can foster deeper connections.
Customer Retention: 94% of consumers will leave a website with poor graphic design. Quality visuals are essential to keep visitors engaged and encourage them to explore what Belize has to offer.
First Impressions Matter: Visitors form an impression of your brand logo in about 10 seconds, but it can take up to seven encounters for full brand recognition. Thoughtful logo design can create a memorable first impression that draws travelers in.
Boosting Engagement: Posts with images or videos receive 650% more engagement than text-only posts. Visual content can inspire travelers to learn more and connect emotionally with destinations.

Revenue Increase: Consistent branding across channels can increase revenue by up to 23%. This reinforces trust and ensures travelers recognize and feel connected to tourism brands.
Color Impacts Consumer Decisions: Between 62% and 90% of people base purchasing decisions on brand colors alone. Belize tourism brands should carefully selected colors that evoke feelings of trust, adventure, or relaxation.
Importance of Attractive Logos: 60% of consumers avoid brands with unattractive logos, even if reviews are positive, and 78% consider logos “works of art.” Well-crafted designs can elevate brand perception.
High ROI for UX: For every $1 invested in user experience (UX) design, businesses can see a return of up to $100—a 9,900% ROI. Crafting a seamless online experience makes brands stand out and convert.
The Business Value of Design: Design-driven companies saw 32% more revenue growth over five years than those that didn’t prioritize design. Investing in strong design can drive long-term success.
