The Egyptian Tourism Authority (ETA) is pleased to invite UNWTO conference attendees to join us for a discussion on digital storytelling as it pertains to destination media. Learn from digital storytellers and travel bloggers, Daniel Noll, Audrey Scott and Erica Hargreave on how they partner with tourism boards and DMOs to use social media and blogging to change the conversation about tourist destinations challenged by negative perceptions related to current events.
Enjoy an entertaining and brief presentation, including early results of their current #WeVisitEgypt digital storytelling campaign. An opportunity to mix, chat and ask questions of these digital media experts will follow.
