Tourism Tattler has joined the Global Travel Blogger & Social Media Influencer Summit as a media partner. This event will be convened in India from 26 – 28 September 2017.
Bloggers and influencers have emerged as the key channels of marketing for tourism across the world. Most travellers rely on information and opinions of digital media when making travel purchase decisions. While some tourism boards and travel companies have realised this, most are still trying to figure how to use this force to their advantage.
Hence the significance of an event like BLOG IT – a global gathering of travel bloggers, influencers and media, who will come together to interact with tourism boards, companies, industry associations and Governments. The event will allow for networking and the exchange of ideas on how these stakeholders can work together for mutual benefit and the growth of global tourism.
