Australian tourism benefiting from social networking by Cheap Flights Booker UK
The Australian tourism industry has benefited from the recent rise in the popularity of social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, according to the country"s tourist board.
Geoff Buckley, managing director of Tourism Australia, said that an increasing number of people are talking and "tweeting" about their travel experiences online.
He revealed that Tourism Australia"s presence on Facebook and Twitter has enabled more people to share their thoughts about travelling in Australia and encourage other people to visit the country.
"Tourism Australia"s activities on Twitter and Facebook are connecting people around the world who have visited Australia and getting them to share their experiences with a community of travellers who are equally passionate about our country," he said.
"The Facebook page, which was initially rolled out 12 months ago for World Youth Day, is attracting a strong following. There are now more than 260,000 fans signed up to Australia"s Facebook page and this is growing at a rate of almost 1,000 new fans a day."
Australians play a big part in advocating their country, while people from the UK, Germany, Italy, France and the US are also eager to share their experiences, according to Mr Buckley.
The Tourism Australia boss was speaking at the Australian Tourism Exchange in Melbourne, an event being held throughout the week that could lead to a boost in business for the travel sector.
