Tourism industry told to embrace social networking sites. The industry
needs to harness the word-of-mouth inherent in social networking sites
in its online media advertising, Tourism Australia executive chairman
Rick Allert says. The impact on Australia's education industry due to
perceived racism against Indian students was a salutary lesson, he
said. "A downside of letting others broadcast their experience of
Australia is that we do run the risk of them telling some truths that
we might not want to hear, such as their disappointment with a product
or service that did not deliver on their expectations," Mr Allert
said.
