Social Media Tourism Snapshot from #SMMW15

Social Media Tourism Snapshot from Social Media Marketing World 2015

Social Media Marketing World is a huge conference with around 2500 attendees from every industry you could imagine. I attended the event predominately to learn but it was also great to chat to others working in the tourism and travel industry to understand what's happening globally in relation to social media marketing and tourism.

This podcast episode is a snapshot of conversations from the event. I ask those with experience in travel and tourism what is their favourite social channel and what challenges or opportunities they see for tourism marketers at this time. It is a short yet insightful episode and I hope you enjoy, it was great chatting and meeting awesome people.

I'll have many more insights to share from the event and my trip to the USA but this podcast is a great start.

Those featured or mentioned include;

Whitney Hagen - Social Media and Marketing, Durango Tourism

Marina C - Casual Fridays

Tom Martin - Founder & Author, Converse Digital (check out a full interview with Tom here)

Colin Diaz -Director of Public Relations, BLVD Hotels

Jay Baer - Convince & Convert

Tyler Murray - HawaiiCon (here is a link to the video he mentioned)
