Do you remember Pablo? (Read Pablo - the nature tour guide)

Well, I’ve sent him an email explaining my point of view regarding his web strategy. He was so excited about doing web marketing that he accepted my offer right away. A couple of hours later, everything was set up and his blog (website) was up and running.

So if you are planning to go in Costa Rica and thinking about taking a Manuel Antonio Park Tour or a Damas Island Tour, consider visting Nature Adventures website.

We kept it simple. Pablo writes once a week (or so…) about his tours and experiences in the park. Tourists likes friendly, funny and interesting guides so I think that blogging is a great opportunity for tour guides to show these qualities.

The Tour de France has its own route on Google Earth. Last year, some “geeks” started to recreate the Tour on Google Earth. In 2006, the Tour launched an official map.

If you want to download more maps, go to Google Touring.

A couple of months ago, USA TODAY published this article Bloggers get travel ’sponsors’.

Using blogs for a marketing matter. Why not? It is done in a lot of other domain so why not for tourism?

Yesterday, “Auberge Hatley suffered a major fire”. Rapidly this canadian hotel updated their website with contact information for those who had future reservations. Clearly, this is a good example of a company who understands that Internet could be a fast and cheap way to communicate.
