Are Global Travel Organizations Undervaluing Regional Social Media?
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 10/09/14 -- Travel industry engagement in the major global social platforms -- Facebook, Twitter, YouTube -- is nearly universal. Social networks now play a considerable -- and growing -- role in travel companies'' marketing, customer engagement and service, according to The State of Social Media in Travel, a new study from travel industry research authority PhoCusWright.
However, despite widespread prominence of social networking use across the travel industry, less than 10% of respondents to a new study cited any engagement with key regional social networks. In China, home to the world''s largest social networking population and where nearly all Chinese travelers are active on local social platforms, only 6% of travel companies are currently active on some of the most popular social networks, such as Sina Weibo.

Based on extensive consumer research and a global industry survey of nearly 600 travel companies, this study focuses on travel companies'' uses, strategies, activities, successes and management of social media.
