They think that they cannot generate revenue from a blog, which I guess is partly true, but they forget or don't realise that blogs are good at building brand awareness and link building ;) Hi Joan,

Surprised how little travel and other related companies do blog and/or use Twitter and other social media. Is it that they are so understaffed? so far behind the times? don't see the value? I'll retweet your post and see if we can collectively put some pressure on to get them to do better .. in so many ways, eh?

As a consumer, if I know you have been to that destination and have written about your experiences, well that's going to get you my booking for sure. Hi Tim,

Every time I go to a new destination in Vietnam, or even a destination I've been to before but never written about it, I blog it upon my return and link to my Picasa image gallery This has proved to be a great sales tool - I can back up a quote for an off-the-beaten-track Mekong Delta tour with an informal, first-hand account of my trip and loads of pics.
