The 2019 plan includes awareness-building media, such as television, print and out-of-home. The plan also focuses further down the customer funnel with an increase in intent-to-travel media, such as search engine marketing, online promotions and social media.

While the plan targets Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Phoenix and Las Vegas throughout the entire year, based on year-round Visa cardholder spend patterns, it targets Seattle, Portland, Chicago, Minneapolis, New York, Denver, Dallas, Boston, Atlanta and select international markets on a seasonal basis.
