Travellers love social media — here's what travel brands must do to keep up

Travellers love social media — here's what travel brands must do to keep up | eTourism Trends and News | Scoop.it

A recent report from Facebook and Deloitte emphasises that travel brands must become more sophisticated on social media as the shift away from TV continues. The report, which is a result of a global survey of 10,400 social media users, identifies some key ways that travel brands can improve their performance on social media.

 

The report also lays out some statistics which highlight how users are engaging with social and travel:

 

76% of social media users have a dream trip list, but only 8% have been everywhere on the list.Social media ranks second to friends and family as a source of travel ideas.68% say that reviews give them the confidence to book a holiday. OTAs have a 37% share within this cohort.Holidays were the third most reported topic that the surveyed social media users consumed.

Was denkt der Kunde über meine Marke? – Semantische Analyse von Online-Inhalten » | eTourism Trends and News | Scoop.it

Vor kurzem berichteten wir von unserem Besuch auf der Marktforschungsmesse Research & Results. Hier schrieben wir auch davon, dass “Computerlinguistik [...] zum Erfolgsfaktor schlechthin [wird]!” und versprachen: “Was wir auf diesem Feld so tun, werden wir Euch in Kürze mitteilen”. Genau darum soll es in diesem Blogartikel gehen. Wie kann man Online-Inhalte, z.B. Blogartikel oder Foreneinträge, (größtenteils) automatisiert auf semantische Eigenschaften hin untersuchen? Hierfür haben wir einen Analysemethode entwickelt – die Mutlirelationale Textanalyse (MRA)!

Quand TripAdvisor™ tente de convaincre que l’erreur est juste

Dans sa quête perpétuelle de l’approbation de son "service" par les hôtels sans qui il ne serait strictement rien, TripAdvisor™ vient de se payer une étude de PhoCusWright. TripAdvisor™ sait parfaitement que ses commentaires sont vérolés. Mais TripAdvisor™ préfère payer une étude, chère au demeurant connaissant Phocuswright, plutôt que trouver des solutions permettant la vérification des avis postés sur son site.

Hotels call it "social media reputation management," but Market Metrix calls it "too little, too late" | Tnooz | eTourism Trends and News | Scoop.it
Hotels should insist on guests filling out surveys while still on the property so that owners have a chance to respond to problems before guests write user reviews.

Le service à la clientèle 2.0

Le service à la clientèle 2.0 | eTourism Trends and News | Scoop.it
Près des 2/3 des consommateurs préfèrent contacter les entreprises par les médias sociaux plutôt que par leur centre d’appels. Lorsqu’ils obtiennent un bon service, ces clients le partagent, en moyenne, à 42 personnes, comparativement à 15 dans le cas des autres consommateurs. Ces adeptes des médias sociaux dépensent 30% de plus que les autres. Et pourtant, 60% des entreprises ne répondent pas aux commentaires émis sur ces plateformes. On évalue même que 70% des plaintes qui y sont formulées ne reçoivent jamais de rétroaction. Voilà quelques données transmises par Frédéric Gonzalo, consultant en marketing des médias sociaux à l’occasion de la Journée RH 2012 du Conseil québécois des ressources humaines en tourisme. Andrée Ulrich, spécialiste en gestion du service à la clientèle, y présentait son approche et l’intégration du service 2.0 dans les entreprises.

Where are you on the Social Media Maturity scale?

Where are you on the Social Media Maturity scale? | eTourism Trends and News | Scoop.it

In the old days, it was easy to understand the customer experience. You had your manager or salespeople walk around. You asked or incentivized your customers to complete comment cards or surveys. Then you added in mystery shopping. All good sources of information about the customer experience. But that won’t suffice anymore. Today, as we know, you have to think about your online reputation and what your customers are saying about you in social media.

How are airports using social media infographic | eTourism Trends and News | Scoop.it

Airlines have been more progressive on use of social media, airports have been the ignored cousin, sort of. But passengers are already heavily using social media inside the airport ecosystem, so the management of airports has to reflect that sooner or later.

After letting locals run the Twitter account, VisitSweden now wants visitors to meet them | Tnooz | eTourism Trends and News | Scoop.it

Citizens of Sweden were thrust into the limelight this year when the national tourism authority gave them the chance to share their lives on its official Twitter profile. Each week a new individual would be handed the controls of @Sweden to tell the world how they felt about the country, things they were doing, tips for places to go.

The project was not without controversy, especially when one individual started sharing what most would consider to be deeply offensive views.

The Impact of Social Media on Lodging Performance - Cornell School of Hotel Administration

The Impact of Social Media on Lodging Performance - Cornell School of Hotel Administration | eTourism Trends and News | Scoop.it

Social media has been touted as having an increasingly important role in many aspects of the hospitality industry, including guest satisfaction and process improvement. However, one of the more intriguing aspects of social media is their potential to move markets by driving consumers’ purchasing patterns and influencing lodging performance. In the absence of a comprehensive attempt to quantify the impact of social media upon lodging performance as measured by bookings, occupancy, and revenue, this report uses the unique position of Cornell’s Center for Hospitality Research to combine data from three CHR research partners (ReviewPro, STR, and Travelocity), and two other data providers (comScore and TripAdvisor) in a first attempt at determining ROI for social-media efforts.

Benchmarking Social Media on Tourism Websites

Benchmarking Social Media on Tourism Websites | eTourism Trends and News | Scoop.it
What is the correlation between your social strategy and website traffic? The answers can be found by benchmarking social media data.

 

How much of the average DMO’s website traffic is generated by social media? Some, but not a lot. As a general statement, most social media traffic comes from four sources: Facebook, TripAdvisor, Twitter and Pinterest. Yes, there are other sources, and yes, specific DMOs may receive a disproportional amount of traffic from YouTube, but on average, your social traffic is coming from one of those four sources. On average, 2-7% of total website visits are generated directly from social media. Meaning the click came from a social post, tweet or link to your website.
