E-TOURISM SUMMIT 2008 BACK IN SAN FRANCISCO

The ninth annual E-tourism Summit will be back in San Francisco, Oct. 1-2, 2008 at the Hotel Nikko (near Union Square). Mark you calendar!


Q: WHY ATTEND THE E-TOURISM SUMMIT IN SAN FRANCISCO?
A: AVOID WASTING MONEY ON THE WRONG DECISIONS AND STAY ABREAST OF THE CUTTING EDGE ONLINE TOURISM MARKETING AND TECHNOLOGY.

One reason so many of our attendees return each year --more than 70 percent of this year’s delegates are E-Tourism Summit alumni-- is that they are in the process of selecting vendors/partners for search marketing, e-mail marketing, dynamic packaging, third-party booking engines, affiliate programs, research-based Web design and general interactive marketing. And the Summit is the only venue at which travel industry professionals can evaluate pre-screened providers who have the most relevant products. You’ll also be able to gather opinions from peers who’ve already been through the same process.
