Out of Home

Few channels are as powerful at inspiring travel decisions as Out of Home (OOH) advertising. Billboards, transport posters, digital six-sheets and roadside screens are part of the everyday environment, making them unavoidable, memorable, and perfect for capturing the imagination of potential visitors.

At The Destination Agency, we specialise in OOH advertising for tourism brands, attractions and destination marketing organisations (DMOs). From high-impact national campaigns to hyper-local activations, we plan, buy and deliver outdoor advertising that builds awareness, inspires travel, and drives ticket sales.

Why OOH matters in tourism marketing

Tourism relies on visibility and inspiration. Out of Home puts your brand directly into the spaces where people live, work, travel and socialise.

  • Unmissable presence: OOH advertising can’t be skipped, blocked or scrolled past.

  • Scale and reach: Billboards and transport placements reach millions of people weekly.

  • Contextual relevance: Ads placed in the right locations—like airports, train stations, and city centres—directly influence travel decisions.

  • Impactful visuals: Large-format creative brings destinations and attractions to life in ways that digital banners can’t.

For DMOs, OOH builds broad awareness and credibility. For attractions, it drives ticket sales, often with location-specific targeting to capture day-trippers.

Our OOH advertising services

We provide full-service OOH campaign planning and buying for destinations, DMOs and attractions, from strategy and creative to measurement and reporting.

1. Campaign strategy and planning

We begin by identifying your audience and objectives. Are you aiming to attract regional visitors? Increase overnight stays? Build awareness nationally?

Our planning includes:

  • Audience mapping with tools such as Route, TGI and YouGov.

  • Identifying key touchpoints along the visitor journey (commuter routes, tourist hubs, transport links).

  • Balancing traditional formats (billboards, bus rears, rail panels) with digital screens.

  • Seasonal planning aligned with tourism peaks and events.

  • Integration with online and broadcast channels for maximum impact.

2. Creative design and adaptation

OOH creative must work instantly. We support clients to develop striking designs that grab attention and communicate quickly.

We help with:

  • Creative concepts tailored to tourism and attractions.

  • Adaptations for different formats and screen sizes.

  • Bilingual and multi-language messaging for domestic and international visitors.

  • Dynamic digital content that changes by time of day, weather, or event.

3. Media buying and placement

As a DMO outdoor advertising agency, we work with leading OOH media owners to negotiate the best rates and placements.

We manage campaigns across:

  • Roadside billboards (48-sheets, 96-sheets, digital screens).

  • Transport hubs (airports, train stations, buses, trams).

  • Retail and leisure environments (shopping centres, cinemas, gyms).

  • Local and hyper-targeted digital screens near attractions or in high-footfall tourist areas.

4. Experiential and special builds

We also deliver bespoke OOH activations for destinations looking to create something unforgettable:

  • 3D special builds on billboards.

  • Interactive digital screens encouraging engagement.

  • Projections on landmark buildings.

  • Event tie-ins with pop-up OOH experiences.

5. Measurement and reporting

OOH is measurable. We use industry-standard tools and custom reporting to track impact, including:

  • Reach and frequency data from Route.

  • Website and booking traffic uplift during campaigns.

  • Mobile location data to measure footfall impact.

  • Brand awareness and recall studies.
