Free App Helps Tourism Companies Promote Their Businesses on Facebook and Receive Online Bookings

March 28, 2012 - PRLog -- Online travel startup Travergence is making it easier for tourism companies to connect with travellers on Facebook. Travergence has developed a free Facebook app, which allows companies to showcase activities and receive online booking requests directly from Facebook.

"Most tourism businesses understand the importance of having a Facebook presence, but the quality and feature set of that presence could be much improved," says Travergence CEO Brad Williams. "With our Facebook application, activity and attraction providers can quickly gain a more effective Facebook page and drive bookings directly from Facebook."

The free app is available to any tourism business in the activity or attraction sector. Signing up also gives providers a presence on the main Travergence website and our hotel content network. Travergence employs an interactive map widget on hotel partner websites that allows hotels to feature nearby activities.

Tourism companies can visit Travergence online at www.travergence.com/providers or call 866.400.8220 to sign up for the free Facebook app.
