China Travel 2.0

在中国，Social Media在旅游行业的应用日益增多，由于市场需要，专门为旅游相关部门提供social media服务的专业公司开始出现。由于social media的时效性、互动性和多样性具有鲜明的优势，它很容易能够在第一时间吸引读者的注意力，如果主办方想在很短时间内把信息传达出去，利用social media是个很好的选择。 最近的两次国际旅游展会和会议当中，social media的实力就露了一小手。比如，前段时间在北京举办的CIBTM（2009 中国(北京)国际商务及会奖旅游展览会）和这两天在杭州举办的UNWTO（第5届目的地管理国际会议），首先我们很难从这两次会议的官网上看到展会和会议的时事报道，另外，传统媒体的报道也各有侧重，不能全面反应会议实况，在这种情况下，social media的出现很好第补充了而且提高了新闻报道的价值。看看ChinatravelTrends.com对这两次会议的报道，再看看他们为会议拍的相片，看看他们在twitter上做得直播，还有这里，据称，他们是这两次国际会议的唯一用twitter报道的媒体。 很显然，他们的报道比官网上的报道攻势强多了，而且题材广泛，报道及时。美中不足，他们现在还没有形成气候，还没有很多的follower，虽然内容很好，但是不能让很多的人知道，这是个软肋。 Social Media in tourism industry now in china is growing fast. there are some professional social media companies(like DragonTrail) who can offer the digital marketing and online marketing consultant, they familier with China Travel market and they know the social media charactrics and they know [...]
