Social Media and Banff National Park
First of all... what is social media?
Wikipedia has it defined as "an umbrella term that defines the various activities that integrate technology, social interaction, and the construction of words, pictures, videos and audio. This interaction, and the manner in which information is presented, depends on the varied perspectives and "building" of shared meaning among communities, as people share their stories, and understandings." Some social media websites you might recognize would be Wikipedia itself along with MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, & Flickr.
What does all this have to do with Banff Lake Louise Tourism or Banff National Park? Well, Banff Lake Louise Tourism has been busy for the last 8 months creating videos for online distribution. We found the stories of the local characters, businesses and employees and created some fun, jealousy making, experiences... favourite quote "my life is better then your vacation".
The community's of Banff & Lake Louise have jumped on the social media wagon and are asking visitors and employees to share their own experienses with the world through YouTube videos.
