Blogs are a great way to grow tourism in your region by sharing keyword-relevant story-telling. And this same strategy can be aplied by private small business owners.
Blogging and Social Media are Powerful. But as a business owner, it’s important to realize that you don’t have to produce all the content.
Your Guests already provide content for you!
You can help develop stories to tell the experiences that your Lodge or tourism business provides, by connecting with your present guests and clients through Blogging and other Social Media.
Make all efforts to connect with those guests who are ameture specialists in audio and video production.
Take the time to make comments on the posts from story telling bloggers who are your guests.
And connect up with photojournalists amoung your guests who are posting their vacation pictures online.
By building online connections with the content your guests are creating, you can extend your marketing reach without the time and cost of creating the promotional materials yourself!
Happy Blogging All!

I always find it difficult to find information on what’s going on in Loch Lomond. The local tourist board isn’t the best at tell the people inside the area what is going on, not sure if the message is getting outside of the area.
