Common Tagging Framework

When we collaborate under a common digital marketing tagging framework, we share in the collective success of data insights and converting visitors to BC, creating advocates via remarkable experiences in-destination.

That’s why we’re asking all tourism businesses and DMOs to participate in our common tagging framework.

What is tagging?

A tag (also called a pixel, floodlight tag, or beacon) is a piece of code that collects anonymous data from a website. Destination BC uses website tagging via Google’s DoubleClick Floodlight Tag and DMP tags. Both of these snippets of code fire when the webpage they are placed within loads.

Why tagging?

Tags are needed for any digital campaign to track metrics beyond impressions and click-through rates. Tags allow us to track how many visitors Destination BC is referring to a partner website (called a referral), whether through a Destination BC-led campaign or a sector-led campaign funded by us.

Beginning in 2018, we are asking suitable tourism businesses to add these tags to their website if they have not already done so. We will also be asking non-traditional tourism partners to add our tags.

Creating one data and digital marketing ecosystem will generate a unified view of the consumer and is best way to know how effective our joint marketing campaigns are. Audience pools created through the tagging process allow for the generation of insights and targeted remarketing efforts through a customer journey.

For those participating, we will continue to share performance measures, learnings, and insights on a regular basis.
