Visit Bellevue Partners with Ripe to Drive Tourism and Support Local Hotels

Bellevue, WA—nestled between Lake Washington and the foothills of the Cascade Mountains—is a thriving destination known for its upscale shopping, vibrant arts scene, and proximity to outdoor recreation. As the city continues to attract business travelers and leisure visitors alike, Visit Bellevue is taking a significant step forward in enhancing its visitor economy. Visit Bellevue has partnered with Ripe to improve hotel visibility, capture valuable attribution data, and demonstrate the direct economic impact of tourism.

Enhancing the Booking Experience

Visit Bellevue has seamlessly integrated Ripe’s booking tools across its website to provide a streamlined booking experience for visitors. These enhancements include:

  • A persistent “Book Now” CTA button in the site’s navigation for easy access at all times.
  • Direct booking links on the lodging partner directory, allowing visitors to book through the Visit Bellevue site.
  • “Book Now” callouts on hotel content pages to drive more direct bookings.

By making it simple and intuitive to book accommodations, Visit Bellevue is keeping tourism dollars within the community and strengthening its local hospitality sector.

Leveraging First-Party Data and Attribution

With Ripe’s powerful first-party data and attribution capabilities, Visit Bellevue gains deeper insights into visitor behaviors and booking patterns. These insights help the organization understand the full impact of its marketing efforts, optimize future strategies, and make data-driven decisions that benefit the entire visitor economy.

Strengthening Bellevue’s Economic Position

As Bellevue continues to evolve as a premier destination, Visit Bellevue is committed to driving tourism that benefits the local economy. By increasing visitor numbers and tracking the economic contributions of travel, Visit Bellevue plays a key role in supporting local businesses and their community as a whole.
