Welcome to the Dot Tourism blog
October 28th, 2006
I’ll keep this first post brief and the initial aims for the blog quite open. I plan to use it as a place to post observations, analysis and links about design and digital marketing in the travel and tourism industry. I expect the nature of the posts to be a real mix, given the size of the sector itself. According to the Department of Culture, Media and Sport approximately 127,000 businesses in the United Kingdom are involved in the tourism industry.
Here are a couple of website links that discuss online marketing in travel and tourism.
The Travolution Blog – A regularly updated blog to supplement the bi-monthly publication, Travolution. Obviously concentrating on the travel sector, with a recent concentration of posts regards airline carriers and holiday operators the lion share of the posts are by Kevin May, the magazine’s editor (The blog posts when an online version of their magazine is available to view – the October edition is now available).
The RADAR Blog – Updated by a French blogger in Quebec to discuss internet strategy for tourism businesses. Started earlier in 2006 Mathieu provides insights and tips for those wishing to promote their tourism business online. Enjoyed his post about the changing role of sales people.
Please send on any other links that you may have.
