Alimara Award for Turismo 2.0

I have been informed from the organization of the awards that Turismo 2.0 has been chosen by the jury as the winner of the ALIMARA 2008.

For 23 years, the CETT Group has been organizing the Alimara Awards which recognize the efforts and the quality of the travel promotion materials.

This is a success story and I see no reason why it can not be done out of our frontiers. It might be a shame that travel bloggers just don’t want to communicate as a group as Darren pointed some days ago. Paul, from Luxury Travel created a T-List Facebook group, but has not taken off, in fact in my experience, Turismo 2.0 also has a Group in Facebook, which does not show much activity. The reason might be that users, like in my particular case, are tired of silly messages on Facebook and are not paying attention to everything that comes to our account, including the groups.

I would be delighted to repeat the Turismo 2.0 success if other bloggers decide to help and support it.

Hi Albert,
I am not sure I want to talk about talking. I prefer talking about doing! Maybe this is why communities for bloggers don’t thrive.

Well done for your award

Incidentally, http://www.smallfishbigocean.com/ is taking off now! While not a blog - I believe this is how communities should be formed - around a central topic that many people want to take part in.

I agree Alex, but its not talking about talking, I don’t think that Travel should be the topic but Tourism. There are so many stakes involved in tourism, including technology, that would create passionate discussions.

Bonjour Albert,

felicitations for Turismo 2.0 award.

About : “repeat the Turismo 2.0 success” I think actors are already in the market:

Turismo 2.0
WIWIH
smallfishbigocean
Innovazione Turismo
entreprendre etourisme network (in France, but fail)

From my point of view, for France we don’t have the market to handle a french Turismo 2.0, but maybe I am wrong.

Maybe we can improve translation in Turismo 2.0

Best regards from France
