Tourism and social media

Tourism has more to gain from social media marketing than any other industry. That’s my opinion. It’s also why Sheila Scarborough and I created Tourism Currents.

Two quick updates from Tourism Currents:

1. We’re getting close to reopening the courses to a new round of students. If you want to know more about how to use social media to draw more visitors to your town, you would probably love Tourism Currents courses. Want to be one of the first to know when we reopen? Sign up for our Early Bird List.
2. In cooperation with BlogWorld Expo, we’ll be presenting a live training event for tourism professionals, CVB’s (Convention and Visitors Bureaus), Convention Center promoters, etc. The bonus? It’s part of BlogWorld, giving you the chance to connect with bloggers, podcasters, and other online content creators. These are the people who can help spread the word about your destination online. We’re planning networking meetings, tweetups, and possibly speed dating to help destination marketers network with the people who can provide them with online coverage. This is still in the early stages, so I’ll let you know as we get it worked out.

That’s all the latest. I knew you’d want to know. Thanks for listening!

PS – How do you like the new signpost graphics that Kim Fenolio made for us? She makes us look good!
