Travel to amazing Jaco, Costa Rica

December 28th, 2009

Those who decide to travel to this amazing part of the world will find everything that one might expect from one of the most ecologically diverse and tourist-centric countries in the world.  Hosting first class accommodations, restaurants, and plenty of entertainment, Jaco has something for everyone; from adventure tours to relaxing on the beach, you won’t be bored.

Accommodations are available to suit any budget.  From luxurious 5 star hotels to the simple necessities available at hostels, to everything in between, travelers can sleep well and prepare themselves for their activities ahead.  Just a stones throw from Jaco, the Los Suenos Marina and Marriot Resort features some of the best sportfishing charters and a beautiful 18 hole golf course.

The array of food and drink is spectacular.  Fresh fruit and juices are abundant and the typical Costarricense fare is something that should not be missed.  While a simple diet is very common, visitors can feast on a variety of foods from around the world; Argentinian steak, Italian pasta, Thai cuisine, fresh seafood, and so much more.  Casados are the local dish and they typically consist of beans, rice, meat/fish, salad, and other starches like yucca, plantain, potatoes, and similar.  Visitors should not leave before trying some local ceviche as well.

For travelers that like to plan activities to fill their days, there is no shortage of tours and activities to keep even the restless busy.  While many people spend the day lounging on the beach or swimming in the warm Pacific Ocean, tourists will find that they can learn to surf, ride ATVs in the jungle, bring in a marlin on a sportfishing charter, go horseback riding on the beach, take Spanish lessons, fly through the jungle canopy on a zip line tour, or walk around town taking in the sights; the list is endless.

Jacó is settled between two of the most amazing National Parks in the county; Carara to the north and Manuel Antonio to the south.  Within the bounds of either of these parks, visitors find themselves among monkeys, lizards, sloths, butterflies, unique birds, and other fauna.  The plant life is incredibly diverse, and the scale of many tropicals that most people are used to seeing as houseplants are awe inspiring in the natural environment.

When people travel to Jaco for the first time, they are amazed by the beauty of the beaches, waterfalls, rainforest, wild life and volcanoes. This is a place where even the most adventurous person can satisfy their need for adrenaline. Everything here is suited to satisfy any tourist’s needs and wishes, no matter if it is swimming, sportfishing, nightlife, food, nature, sceneries, or just taking it all in stride. These are the reasons why so many people are simply in love with this place; you can be sure that very few regret a visit to this beachfront paradise.

Two Leading Adventure Travel Companies Say Facebook Works Wonders

December 9th, 2009

Billings, MT, December 7, 2009 – Ciclismo Classico (http://www.ciclismoclassico.com/), an active bicycle vacations company, recently lent its year-long expertise in using Facebook as a marketing tool to a colleague, Austin-Lehman Adventures (http://www.austinlehman.com/) who was brand-new to the concept. Facebook is all the latest buzz in this heavily personal and experiential sector of the travel industry and more than Twitter, blogs and other social media tools, it is being leveraged successfully to gain expanded brand awareness, a fan following, sizzle and excitement, compelling story telling and what everyone’s looking for… trip bookings.

Dan Austin, co-founder and director of Austin-Lehman Adventures, reports that within a week on Facebook their fan following grew by over 300 percent.

Following is a Q& A with Dan Austin and Lauren Hefferon, founder and director of Ciclismo Classico. (As of this writing, ALA was just three weeks into using Facebook and Ciclismo Classico had been using it for a year).  Both companies welcome queries from the media who are pursuing stories on Facebook and social marketing for small businesses. To contact Dan Austin please email him at dan@austinlehman.com; to contact Ciclismo’s Lauren Hefferon please email her at lauren@ciclismoclassico.com.

Q: How are you applying and using Facebook?

Austin: Daily we’re posting pictures from old, new and groundbreaking exploratory trips.  Guides are posting pictures and asking “who knows where this is?” We are sharing breaking news, like our new fleet of bikes. Our growing community is sharing trip experiences, asking questions and telling their own unique stories.

Hefferon: When I was a tour guide I was always with guests, getting to know them and directly experiencing them as individuals. But that ended when I became bound more to my office. The people magic was gone for me and I missed it. With the advent of Facebook I am now seeing pictures of their families, getting to know their interests, seeing their ups and downs. I am getting to know them as people, rather than just as database “prospects” or “alumni”.  I am also getting direct feedback from them. If I post something about an adventure I just had, one of my alumni might chime in and share in that experience. The sharing is real, authentic and live. On our Facebook Fan Page I try to post items that not only have to do with Ciclismo but have to do with our customers’ general love for travel, bicycling, culture and personal development. I am developing a keener understanding to what our guests like and don’t like by how they respond to my posts. I am letting them guide me to experiences that turn them on!

Q: What results have you gotten?

Austin: In just the first week of our Facebook campaign we tripled our fan base therefore boosting our brand awareness. We are seeing five to six percent growth in followers each day and close to 300 percent in the last week alone.

Facebook allows us one more way to listen to and interact with our guests. It’s not so much a marketing tool as it is a communication tool.  I keep coming back to the fact that conventional websites are one-dimensional; with Facebook it’s all three-dimensional.  The point is to build a community of guides, guests and staff who are all talking up the experience and opportunities.  We see the exchanges and excitement growing along with the number of fans we now have. It’s really viral and quite impressive.

Hefferon: We have seen spikes in our website visits due to spikes in our fan count. We know that there are multiple drivers in inspiring people to book a trip. At Ciclismo we believe in the high touch approach and Facebook fits perfectly into this strategy. We know it takes time and effort on our part but if you want to succeed in today’s marketplace you have to spend time to get to know your customers better!

My attachment and interest in Facebook reminds me of how I started my business. While I love Italy and cycling, it is the sharing with people that gets me excited!  In the early days I not only knew my customer’s “face” (because I had been on a tour with them) I also got to know what made them tick through personal visits, talking on the phone and sharing pictures. Facebook feels very much like that experience.  It is simple, basic and the direct feedback allows me to shift and build my relationship with each customer in a very customized way.  With direct mail campaigns and ads, the owner looses touch with the customer experience which is paramount to growing a service business that is all about that experience.

Q:  How are you building followers/fans?

Austin: The fastest way we have been able to gain new fans is via our trip leaders and guide community. They are reaching out and sharing personal stories on Facebook and then inviting past, current and prospective guests to share their own experiences, photos, questions and suggestions with them. Guests love being able to vicariously travel and go adventuring through the posts from our guides, and then share (or brag) about their own personal exploits.

Hefferon: The best way to build fans and followers is to invite people one by one to share our Facebook fan page with their friends. I think this is the most authentic, caring way to do this.

Q: Can you provide any case studies or examples of people who have benefited one way or another from exchanges and info seen on your Facebook pages?

Austin: We are seeing fans creating exchanges between one another and a guide. It’s amazing to now see complete strangers planning future trips together for next season.

Hefferon: We always try to ask questions on almost every post. We try to get the readers interacting. One interesting example was a post I did about Truffle Hunting Dog Laura that is on our Piedmont tour. We had about 15 responses from people who loved that dog and wanted to share their own experiences. This post launched a whole discourse about truffles and dogs, a wonderfully interactive bit of storytelling shared with a large fan base bringing the power of the testimonial to new heights. We used the theme in a recent press release. I also discovered that this experience was a magical one for our guests and that it should be highlighted in corresponding promotional materials.

Visit the Facebook Pages for Austin-Lehman Adventures and Ciclismo Classico and join the fun!  And be sure to contact Dan or Lauren for more details on their Facebook experience.

Austin-Lehman Adventures, with a 35-year legacy dating back to 1974, provides “over the top” adventure vacations on four continents.

Having sponsored Ed since 2007, Scott Dunn is providing this vital assistance to help raise funds for Ed’s training programme in preparation for Vancouver 2010. The support, in addition to his sponsorship, includes donating a luxury Scott Dunn ski holiday, with all the proceeds from its raffle going straight into Ed’s training fund pot.

Scott Dunn is also inviting Guests to lend a hand, with an optional £20 donation added to each ski booking for the 2009/10 season (up until 25 Oct 2009 they will receive a raffle ticket in return, and chance to win the holiday).

Ed says, “The support that Scott Dunn and their partners are giving me is invaluable. I want to be an Olympian and ultimately my main goal is to win. You’ve got to shoot high. I’ve been dreaming of taking part since I started racing, but it wouldn’t be possible without backing. When it comes to ski racing, I love the speed and the adrenalin rush of being at my absolute limit – the whole occasion is going to be amazing and I’m going to do my best for all my supporters”.
