            Hotels, airlines and other segments of the
            multibillion-dollar travel industry are
            aggressively tapping into social media, ramping
            up their use of online sites such as Facebook
            and Twitter to build loyalty to their brands.

            Hotels are promoting their properties through
            bloggers, and they're using social-networking
            sites to gather feedback and monitor trends.


“Compared with other industries, the travel and hospitality
sector is ahead of the curve in engaging social media,”
Carl Howe, Director, Yankee Group
