Sisters Eng and Buay moved to Bangkok to study and learn how to be tour guides almost 10 years ago. They loved being in the travel business and decided to open their own travel business specializing in soft adventure and cultural tours in Bangkok, Thailand, Cambodia and Myanmar called LJ Biz. They knew they could run more unique tours and wanted to be their own boss.
Can any of you relate?

So how does a new tour company with lots of competition learn how to market their tours profitably online and via social media?
And With the advent of social media giants like Facebook and Tripadvisor, it can be a little overwhelming...
So when the sisters knew they needed help to grow their tour business dream, they called me. First thing I wanted to do was to see what online assets or resources they had we could tap into fast and easy, for the lowest possible cost to increase inquiries and sales profitably.
One of the first marketing channels we looked at (outside their own website) was Tripadvisor. Tripadvisor has turned into a dominant channel over the last eight years with over 100 million reviews and tips by travel consumers. With that much activity, Tripadvisor is a tourism social media marketing that cannot be overlooked!
Fortunately Eng and Buay were smart and were able to list their company in the “Bangkok attractions” and sub category of “sightseeing tours.” Problem was they were ranked number 69 of the 198 attractions. And only number 41 of 69 sightseeing tours. This is bad and is not going to yield many inquiries for sales….
Tripadvisor Tourism Marketing Action Plan
So we created a Tripadvisor tourism marketing action plan and put it into motion December 1, 2012.
Good news! In only two months by religiously applying the simple customer service and Tripadvisor review plan I recommended, LJ Biz moved to #15 of 204 attractions, and # 10 of 69 sightseeing tours!
And how did this in effect their inquiries and sales? They went up over 100%…
Watch this 7 minute case study with LJ biz to see for yourself what we did to increase ranking and some important trip advisor listing and description tips to help you succeed.

Great to see this cave study. I own the website http://www.halongcruises.net which focuses on cruises in Halong Bay, Vietnam. We’re doing well so far and got good reviews from our previous clients. I had tried several times listed my company on tripadvisor but i haven’t seen it listed so far. It’s great if you could share with us some tips to list on tripadvisor, Tim?
Thanks much!

Thanks for comment on Egypt. Unless you are just trying to get links, this is not a very good way to promote your tours…. Don’t feel bad. You are not alone. If you want to convince people to book tours with you, – especially if you want to work with the travel trade – you must learn how to communicate 5 critical things about you, your company and why someone should consider you…
If this is something you want to learn about, great, I can help. When watch my videos and read my blog posting, including great comments and questions from tourism peers, you will learn how to sell more tours,
Best, Tourism TIm
PS I will not be posting your blog comment which is a commercial for Egypt and your awesome history
PPS I am a BIG supporter of tourism in your country and look forward to helping more.

I think everything typed was very logical. However, think about this, what if you wrote a catchier post
title? I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your blog, but suppose you added a headline
to maybe get people’s attention? I mean Tripadvisor Tourism Marketing Training Video
with Tourism Tim is a little boring. You could glance at Yahoo’s front page
and watch how they create article titles to grab people interested.
You might try adding a video or a pic or two to grab people excited about
everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it could bring
your posts a little bit more interesting.
