Abstract
This study evaluates the effectiveness of current branding strategies used by the tourism and hospitality sector for Bihar's major tourist attractions. It examines how various promotional approaches, including digital marketing, social media campaigns, online advertisements, and influencer partnerships, impact tourist engagement and satisfaction. The research highlights that social media and online ads are highly effective in attracting tourists by offering personalized experiences and targeted promotions. Influencer partnerships are also significant, as they provide authentic recommendations that resonate with potential visitors. Traditional methods, such as travel brochures and TV ads, still play a role but are less influential compared to digital strategies. The study finds that customer feedback and support are crucial for refining branding efforts, while maintaining consistency in visual and messaging elements helps in strengthening the brand's identity. Security and privacy concerns, particularly regarding online transactions and data protection, are essential for building trust with tourists. The research emphasizes the importance of adapting branding strategies to evolving market trends and consumer preferences to ensure continued effectiveness. Overall, the study concludes that a well-rounded approach combining digital and traditional methods, personalized marketing, and strong customer support can significantly enhance the effectiveness of branding strategies in promoting Bihar's tourist attractions.
