Networking will overtake shopping—and one-way or flat communications such as email—to become the second most-popular online activity by 2012. Hoteliers have no choice but to understand the social network channel quickly, or be left behind. To help hoteliers, TravelCLICK continues its global seminar series with free seminars in Vienna and Athens on hotel Internet marketing best practices. Participants 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 they can leverage networking for maximum return on investment.

The seminars will feature local speakers from TripAdvisor and Google. They will provide practical strategies and tactics that help hotels to leverage the social media phenomenon and maximize visibility and brand awareness. Topics include:

  • Social media: Marketing smart to leverage the power of this free channel
  • Effective search marketing: Maximizing organic and pay-per-click campaigns
  • Portal sites: Targeting shoppers based on their desired stay experience
  • Web networking: Engaging social networking and review sites to build community
