Show off your best destination images on Instagram, promote blog posts on Facebook, and contribute thoughtful industry-related articles to LinkedIn. Then, link all of your online contributions to your tourism website or Linkedin profile.
Tip: Join some of LinkedIn’s travel & tourism groups to network, have discussions with peers, and keep up with industry news.
3. Share Your Knowledge Via Twitter:
If you’re using social media to reach tourists Twitter is an effective way to attract an online audience. When you connect with other tourism-related companies on Twitter you expand your reach without any extra effort. Tweet out interesting tips about your region, host a Twitter chat about the activities your region has to offer tourists, and discuss the best times to visit and why.
Tip: Add your Twitter feed to your website and have your content do double duty.
