Online Social Media for Travel & Hospitality Industry


Travel & Hospitality Industry possibly will use online social media to better meet the needs of their customers. No doubt one sector that is really accepting social media especially in the developed destinations like US is the travel and leisure industry and it is a domain well apt to online social media. People can share their healthy experiences and amalgamate with each other resulting in to more online travel business.

Hotels and resorts could have a Flickr account where they can make pictures public and persuade guests to have their personal pictures as well. Since guests want to know how things are actually there in their holiday package and the engendered photos will make sure that pictures of the hotel or resort are real.

Blogs are another tool that individual as well as chain of hotels can start a real time communication with their target audience. This blogs can give what life is where they are traveling and can archive information about the destinations in diverse seasons, excursions in the nearby areas and local facts. This can be an exceptional way for hotels and local destination agents to explore their resources such as the area’s best places to go for sightseeing or visit the tourist attracting places like museums.

Generating a custom Google map for a explicit location could be a way to endorse a complete region or city. This can provide guests with a virtual map of accommodation, restaurants in close proximity, parks, famous shopping places, providing the guests with trouble-free tour directions.

Facebook and Twitter could be a way to bring up to date special offers and striking promotions especially for the off-season period. On the local level, it can also involve events in the specific destination areas. Vacation Packages to be planned need the relevant information like the weather, the traffic and availability and even their social media is a great tool for being able to transmit this type of important information in real time.
