When it comes to a social media crisis for travel and hospitality companies, the question isn\u2019t whether it\u2019ll happen, but when. It can start from something as little as turbulence on a flight, and escalate to worried family members tweeting asking whether the passengers are safe. The best way to handle a crisis or communicate\u00a0 a message is preparation. With the right crisis management plan in place, you can ensure that your travel brand will handle crises with ease.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span><\/strong>\n\t\t\t\tSEE INFOGRAPHIC<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t[vc_empty_space height=”2rem”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row thb_divider_position=”bottom” height=”50″ background_style=”normal”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1442302634112{padding-left: 4% !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”8rem”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=”stretch_row_content” parallax=”content-moving” parallax_image=”19427″ css=”.vc_custom_1667825840274{background-color: #bee1e2 !important;}”][vc_row thb_divider_position=”bottom” height=”50″ background_style=”normal”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1442302634112{padding-left: 4% !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”6rem”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row thb_full_width=”true” thb_row_padding=”true” content_placement=”top” thb_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”4\/12″ css=”.vc_custom_1650022902073{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Social media reporting and analysis” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css_animation=”fadeIn” css=”.vc_custom_1679503148590{padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”2rem”][vc_column_text]Travel and hospitality metrics are not just about booking and bottom lines, the check ins, reviews, and social endorsements inform their future behavior and influence on friends.
