Using Social Media

Getting the most out of your own social media channels.

We’ve created a four-part video series looking at how the Australian tourism industry can get the most out of social media.

In this video, the fourth and final in our social media education series, social experts Nick Henderson and Novy Wong answer questions from operators. They cover a number of topics including current social trends, how to create great social content on a budget, and provide examples of operators who are doing well in this space.
