Industry experts given online forum opening

Sunday, 11 May, 2009 0

Specialist tour operators and travel agents are being invited to contribute to a new online forum.

In return contributors gain free focused exposure to potential customers who are researching trips.

The forum is integrated within the Word Travels online destination guide www.wordtravels.com and is aimed at both holidaymakers and travel professionals.

Questions are answered by some of the 700,000 monthly readers of wordtravels.com as well as by the growing list of destination experts.

Destination experts are avid travellers or travel professionals (such as tour operators, travel agents or local guides) who can offer first-hand advice.

If accepted as a destination expert, members get notified of questions posted in their areas of interest and have the benefit of free promotion on the site with a link to their website.

For the experts, such promotion allows them to talk directly to potential clients and provides valuable links to their site, while the Forum readership gains access to relevant, accurate opinions that positively influence their travel planning.

Joining up is a simple process of visiting www.wordtravels.com/forum, clicking on the Expert link, and building a relevant profile.
