I don't agree that the comment is off-base, in fact I think that both you and Andrew are correct. Studies, both by PhoCusWright and Forresters have shown that friends and family (ie.e social networks) are a key online business generator for travel and tourism, but in order for a consumer to feel comfortable with a travel supplier, they need well written, descriptive content (including images and video) to help them make their decisions. Good content helps to establish a basis for sales while social media and networks help to drive the relationship building and customer service.<br><br>BTW, good job on the guide, it is a useful document. You include your blog url but I noticed that you didn't include your Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn profile links. Can you post those so we can connect with you? Cheers. Thanks Barry.
