Our 4th Online Tourism Conference for the Region
Africa’s best known and respected online tourism experts return to Nairobi for our 4th E-Tourism Conference: September 29-30th 2014 at the Intercontinental Hotel.
Supported by Kenya Tourist Board and Nairobi County Council.
With the majority of the world’s travel now being sold online the tourism sector worldwide has embraced the need to better use technology in their businesses. The real challenge is now keeping pace with the rate of change as technology, social media and adoption of new devices grow and evolve at an incredible pace. Our event will show you best to face the challenges of working in a travel market that decides how it wants you to communicate with them, creates and shares more content than you do and can do a better job of selling your products than you do.
Whether you are a destination or a tourism business large or small- this event will offer you real solutions to begin improving the way you market, manage and sell your products online. Sessions will cover e-business and e-commerce essentials, as well as revolutionary new interactive marketing tools, and instruction and advice for using Social Media to market your business all presented via jargon free, entertaining presentations from local and international speakers.
The second day will feature a full half day seminar of practical training in social media and digital marketing by leading E-Tourism Trainer and Speaker Damian Cook.
