St Kitts promotes on Facebook

At least one Caribbean island has realised the power of social networking site Facebook.

The St Kitts Tourism Authority has established a fan site on the uber-popular networking facility called My St Kitts.

Fans joining the page in the first two weeks are eligible to win a St Kitts hamper as part of the authority's special trade promotion.

The page utilises images, video clips, event invitations, blog feeds, discussion boards and information about island attractions, among other features.

Users will be invited to take part in a special interactive feature allowing them to post their own photographs and holiday snaps, offer reviews and travel tips and enter discussion panels.

St Kitts Tourism Authority CEO Rosecita Jeffers said “St Kitts selected Facebook to target prospective visitors because of the more than 150 million active users and the St Kitts Facebook fan page hopes to attract the attention of the discerning and technology savvy audience engaged in this form of social media.

“Our fan page promotes St Kitts as the next special upmarket destination in an extremely innovative, yet cost-effective manner and we especially look forward to having the travel industry join us in this exciting venture.”

And in addition, now you can also use video and increase the social media aspects with Clickable video. Try Twitter, Digg, Facebook and/or MySpace inside your video.
