Tourism Montreal

Tourism Montreal needed to modernize their digital infrastructure, empowering their marketing team to manage content independently and improve user engagement. Their goals included making the website more visually appealing, functional, and aligned with the organization’s mission to position Montréal as a top-tier global destination. They sought a flexible platform that could adapt to market trends, meet the demands of a diverse user base, and streamline workflow for internal teams.

The redesigned website provided Tourism Montreal with a powerful tool for both marketing and operations. The most significant achievement was decoupling the marketing and product teams, enabling the marketing team to independently manage the website’s content without technical bottlenecks. This newfound autonomy made it easier for them to respond to market trends, thus improving their agility. The new website also enhanced the user experience, offering easier navigation, booking services, and streamlined access to Montréal’s tourism resources. As a result, user engagement and satisfaction increased dramatically. Furthermore, the website played a key role in boosting economic benefits for the city, drawing more visitors and improving partnerships with industry stakeholders.

Challenges and Solutions

One of the major challenges was ensuring that the CMS was user-friendly for the marketing team, which had limited technical expertise. Pragmatica overcame this by providing comprehensive training and ongoing support to ensure the team could confidently use the new system. Another challenge was balancing creativity with functionality. While the site had to be visually engaging, it also needed to be highly functional and easy to navigate. Pragmatica ensured this balance through close collaboration with Tourism Montreal, gathering feedback through user testing to refine the design and user experience.

Conclusion

Tourism Montreal’s partnership with Pragmatica highlights how innovative digital solutions can drive significant improvements in a traditionally slow-moving industry. By leveraging Pragmatica’s expertise, Tourism Montreal was able to streamline workflows, improve user engagement, and strengthen their position as a premier global destination. The successful website transformation has also had a lasting impact on the local economy, benefiting both the organization and its 900 partners.

Future Plans

Tourism Montreal plans to continue working with Pragmatica to further enhance their digital platform. Future projects may include the integration of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality to offer more immersive experiences for visitors. These advancements will ensure that Montréal remains at the forefront of global tourism innovation.
