Si Media Celebrates World Tourism Day 2009
Posted by SiMedia | Filed under Events & Happenings
It was a day for us to come together to celebrate diversity in Trinidad & Tobago and discuss ways in which creativity can be embraced in the Tourism Industry.
Simply Intense Media was selected to present on behalf of the Internet and New Media Industry at the Chaguaramas Convention Center on September 29, 2009 in the presence of the Minister of Tourism, Joseph Ross. The topic at hand was entitled “Doing Business in The Cloud”.
Miles Abraham, Head of Strategic Planning and Creative at Si Media presented ways in which Digital Marketing, Interactive Media, and the Internet benefits the Tourism Industry. He highlighted the fact that the Internet generation now uses the Web to research travel destinations, book flights, and make other their travel arrangements (accommodations, tours, dinners, and so on). With that in mind, he discussed the importance of having quality content readily available on the Web to enable online travelers to achieve their goals, thereby encouraging tourism in our country.
Although T&T has a creative, rich, and vibrant culture, this is hardly represented on the Internet for the world to see. We are lacking informative and attractive websites and web content to influence travelers’ decisions when it comes to vacation planning. Mr. Abraham discussed the importance of building upon this content and using Social Media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to promote and market Travel and Tourism in Trinidad & Tobago.
Si Media strongly believes in the role that the Internet and Digital Marketing plays when it comes to building and bettering the Tourism Industry. We thoroughly enjoyed celebrating World Tourism Day ’09 and look forward to bringing you lots more fresh information and facts in 2010.
World Tourism Day is commemorated each year on September 27th, dating back to the early 1980’s.
