Internet Marketing Seminars Help UK Hoteliers Navigate a Complex Environment

CHICAGO/LONDON | With United Kingdom hotel revenue in a slump—down 30% so far this year—hoteliers are looking for strategies that can help them thrive in this slow market. TravelCLICK is offering local London hoteliers a free seminar on Internet marketing best practices on Tuesday, 14 July at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London. Attendees will learn about the latest trends in their region, how social networking sites—such as Facebook and Twitter—can increase online visibility and engage guests, and how to leverage search marketing for maximum return on investment.
