Following overwhelming requests for training from delegates at our Sold Out 2010 Conference in Nairobi- we have designed these seminars to be extremely practical and to deliver what stakeholders need, using local examples, case studies and available solutions.
We have successfully used this one day seminar approach in other destinations and markets around the world- and it is extremely popular for its simple, practical and jargon free approach.
Training is by Damian Cook, founder and CEO of E-Tourism Frontiers- an extremely popular speaker and trainer who has presented and trained around the world and spoken at many of the world’s leading tourism forums (ENTER Tourism Technology Summit, ITB, World Information Summit, World Youth and Student Travel Conference and many more).
The training is neither technical nor complicated and certainly never boring. The training is done via interactive presentations, multimedia, video and step-by-step walk-throughs of actual solutions and techniques. Anyone, even with limited computer or Internet literacy, will be able to take part.
This single day will show attendees:
How the Travel business has shifted online and why it is vital that destinations and businesses change the way they work
How to develop an e-marketing and management strategy
What are the key resources to have in place and how to set them up
How to upgrade your website and manage it more effectively
Onlne advertizing and Search Engine Optimization
How to start taking online bookings and payments and to combine this with offline business in a safe and secure way
The Social Media Toolbox- how to use Facebook, Twitter, Blogs and YouTube in your business
How to encourage and help your customers to market you via social media and capitalize on User Generated Content
How to produce, store, manage and publish photos, video and other media for your business
The importance of mobile phones and devices for tourism businesses and how you can use them to make yourself more accessible online
A final wrap up discussion and Q&A
Everyone attending will also receive a copy of our newly
published book The E-Tourism Frontiers Guide to Online Tourism. This full
