Businesses Using Twitter To Promote Travel Deals - cbs11tv.com

If you're looking for a "staycation" check out The Joule. It's a downtown Dallas hotel that posts various offers every Thursday. A special package that would normally go for $248 a night was recently discounted. "If you saw the posting through twitter and booked it through there, you'd be saving $90-$100 a night," said marketing manager Kristin Walker. Gaines says, "If you're interested in budget travel tips for instance, budget travel magazine has a Twitter account and they specifically tweet about budget travel tips." She recommends checking in for deals daily and using a twitter application called tweet deck to set up notifications specific to your destination. "People can really take advantage of companies that are on there, follow companies that they like and get some great deals along the way."
