  thanks for the travel2.0 seminar guys! you came up with some real clever stuff that i never ever would have thought of...! Peter Duijvis, CoolVillas.com

The world of the internet is advancing and evolving rapidly. People are talking about social mapping and social graphs, use terms like widgets, mash-ups, wikis, gadgets, UGC, peer reviews, RSS feeds. All of this they call Web 2.0 or rather Travel 2.0 for the Hotel and Travel Industry.

But what does this mean for your hotel? Do you need to make any changes to your website? How does it affect your marketing strategy?

The Web 2.0 + Hotels = Travel 2.0 workshop is a practical interactive day where you will discover the latest developments on the web. We will work together to develop and implement some useful new features and tools to manage your online profile.

The highlights:

• What should you do with Web 2.0 for your hotel?
• How is search engine optimization changing?
• How should you manage online reviews and travel blogs?
• How can you add online reviews of your hotel to your website for free?
• What is Google Local Business Center and how to use it?
• How can you create a map with local attractions and transportation for your website?

We will show you how you can make it happen! Bring your laptop as it will actually build new tools during this full day workshop (starting at 9.00 am). Prior to the day we will even send you just a tiny bit of homework to make sure you are all ready to go...
