Online 2008 must do list

A couple of interesting blogs from the Travel and Tourism Technology blog.

Must do travel marketing investments - Investment #1: Your Website

Make sure you have an online presence:

• Invest in your own domain name and website.
• If it is looking tired give it a spring clean or redesign it completely.
  
• Make sure you have an online booking engine such as Seekom.
• Look at your online presence - search for yourself in Google
• Invest in SEO to ensure you can be found and to increase visitors to your website.
• Identify the markets you are targeting and make sure all your messages are consistent.

The next blog continues the above theme but focuses on five things you can do to increase your online presence and talks about sharing your experience:

1. Blogger - tell the world about your experiences. You only have to post once a week and by the end of the year you have 52 pages of content!
2. Flickr - show the world your pictures.
   
3. Youtube - make a video and tell the world about your place
4. Podomatic and Big Contact - make a podcast and tell your story, interview some of your guests (but get there permission to use online), to tell about their experiences
5. Blog Catalog - Tell the world about your blog.

I would suggest that you go and read the blogs and feel free to leave a comment of what your thoughts are on the above suggestions.
