With Blogging and Micro-blogging the “new frontier” on the web we start to find that people are searching for content specific to theirs needs. My position as the eMarketing Coordinator at Cape Town Tourism should be a good foundation to show the work being done in the Tourism as they look to extend themselves onto ePlatforms.

The Official Cape Town Tourism Website at www.capetown.travel was designed with interaction with the consumer in mind. I will elaborate more on how our site and blog aims to bridge our entry onto rich media web platforms in up coming posts.

My challenge with Tourism is how to make locals feel that the term “Tourism” does not exclude them while at the same positioning Cape Town as a Premier Long Haul Destination to our Key Target Markets. Cape Town Tourism has 20 Visitor Information Centres scattered all over Cape Town. With so much free information on offer, how is it that locals don’t know about this, and how can the ePlatform create the required awareness?

As this is my first post, I feel that I’ve got some people to thank that got me to this point.
Number 1 of course, my girlfriend Suzanne, my source of motivation and inspiration.
Friends, collegues and Family. Far to many to mention them all but Thurston deserves a special Thank you.
Then, all the guys on my social networks for pioneering the path I’m following, your work impresses me.
Charl Norman, this site wouldn’t be here without you – Thanks

So with all formalities over, let’s get this up and running! YEAH!!
