Travel 2.0. An emerging reality.
In my last post I talked about the annual meeting of Turismo 2.0 in Madrid, last week, and about the president of this very successful (over 1.500 members) network, Albert Barra explained how difficult it was to make tourism business people understand what the web 2.0 can afford to marketing. This Wednesday the world famous Tourism exhibition FITUR had begun in Madrid too with lots of tourism professionals from all over the world making deals.
Two days later, on Friday, in FITURTECH, a workshop on ITC in the same exhibition, the web 2.0 was again on the spot. We all have to push hard to spread out all the good things that Travel 2.0 can bring to this industry, the leading one in e-commerce by now.
Social networks on the Internet are really helping also to get news that would be difficult to get so fast with other means. O friend on Facebook invited me to visit “Tourism and Internet marketing” a blog of a Jens Thraenhart with excellent news and information on Travel 2.0. In this blog Jens has embedded a video of an interview with Gregg Brockway, co-founder and President of Travel Planning Website, who talks abu Tripit, his new project on Beta version, that brings nwe solutions for tourists integrating old trustworthy relations with tourists together with new web 2.0 solutions. I found TriPit really interesting and it seems it can be a reference in the near future.
I invite you to visit Jen’s blog and to view the video:
