I think it can be more complicated then it looks. Its hard to say how the development I do today will benefit me tomorrow and Facebook is always free to change the equation.

Re: Travelers turn back to travel agents

Hello.
My name is Ryan. Yeah due to the increasing trend of online traveling sites, travelers have started to turn their back on the travel agents. Online booking and searching is far more convenient.

Travelers have to come back to the travel agents ,as it is not possible to visit a new destination without taking the help of the travel organization as well as the travel agents too...

Most welcome, Philip. Thanks for commenting. Looks like I do have a few readers left on this blog!
Maybe the retired folks have been made aware of FB by their grand kids and found it a great way to stay in touch.

Thanks for the share Joe, We all hear about the growth of the 45-64 year old user-base, it seems to just be trending, not really standing out. You are right about the 65+ users though, I guess the word got out at the golf clubs and tea parties ;)

Great post Joe.

Catching up on some must-read stories from the break and this was one of them.

Points to build your social strategy by:

1. A supportive, knowledge and engaged culture within an organization is critical...top down!
2. Need people who know about and are passionate about the brand.
3. ROI is a piece of the overall picture, not the only factor.

Good stuff.

Great presentation! I couldn't agree more about the need for companies to take social media seriously. It's hard to believe that there are still some hold-outs.

Excellent post on you blog and comment, Marc-Oliver.
Something along the lines of what you propose has to happen if many of the location aware social solutions are to succeed globally. At the moment they are purely national, domestic ones unless foreign visitors can get free or close to free mobile web access.
For a major destination like NYC to start such an effort would be great marketing coup that. I'm sure others would follow.

Hello Joe,

The overall growth of social media and digital/mobile marketing are great news - also for the tourism industry. I can also see great potential and opportunities for digital marketing.

BUT, there would be even more. 10 times more opportunities with a free wi-fi access for travelers OR a 'pay-as-you-travel' mobile phone plan from ROGERS, TELUS, etc.

I wanna start the discussion with a powerful article on my blog:
Why I LIKE NEW YORK is better than I LOVE NEW YORK.

How do you think about this topic? I would love to hear from you.

Re: How the iPad Will Change the Advertising Business and trip planning at the same time.

JEBworks — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 12:59:55 -0000

Seems like it, Todd -; IMHO these devices are already changing how we consume media and communicate with each other and with organizations. Talk about DMOs having to hire talent, I couldn't agree more but am not holding my breath as they all too often seem to prefer to inside road with the inevitable politics and delays that entails. A pity. Also, was disappointed to read the immediate negative reactions when the iPad was launched. Some people just can't seem to have an open mind to these developments. Same with Google Buzz. Not saying it's the greatest invention since sliced toast but panning it within a few hours of launch. Those must be some super smart people out there!

@Todd Lucier — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 12:48:19 -0000

Hey Jeb, great minds think alike. I really see this new media consumption device making a big difference in the way people consume media. Part magazine, part web site.... but engaging and interactive like neither are.

DMO's and regional tourism associations of all sorts need to start thinking about hiring the talent that will be required to take advantage of emerging platforms for marketing.

It does very much so. I have been watching the trends and social media as you said will be and continues to be very active. I am interested in seeing how it grows and evolves over the next decade.

Glad this helps. The social web will be a very active space in the coming decade with new developments coming fast and furious. I continue to track it as things develop.
