WITAP is currently working to complete 10 projects. The projects were chosen to align with the Travel Demand Generator Model, which states that Research should drive the Product, which should drive the Brand, which drives the Marketing, which ultimately drives the Demand. Therefore, WITAP’s initial projects fall under the first 3 categories; Research, Product, and Brand.
Research >> Product >> Brand >> Marketing >> Demand
