anywhere are now possible.
Social media can be one of the greatest
tools you have at your disposal, particularly
the most popular platform, Facebook. If you
don’t already have a Facebook page, you
should set one up right now, and start filling
it with interesting posts plus what travel
deals are going on, just to name a few ideas.
But don’t forget what else is out there,
