Twitter has a terrific travel community, attracting Travel Agents, Travel Bloggers, Hotel Owners, Airlines, Tour Operators and people genuinely interested in travel and world-wide destinations.
Earlier this year Katy, the Community Manager of ‘Where I’ve Been’ initiated #traveltuesday. You will see that Katy has a huge following on Twitter which has made #traveltuesday a great success and a highlight for many on Twitter.
The concept is not unlike #followfriday but for the travel-minded. The day is a hive of activity adding the #traveltuesday hashtag and a reason for your recommendation of fellow travel tweeps. The hashtag also gets added to tweets of particular interest, so those that undertake a #traveltuesday search will find not only industry tweeps but also interesting links, blogs and the like.
For those new to #traveltuesday here is a list of some of my favourite travel tweeps to get you started;
Freycinet National Park is situated on the Freycinet Peninsula on the eastern coast of Tasmania. The bush surrounds, pink granite mountains known as the ‘Hazards’, coastal dunes and the pristine beach of Wineglass Bay make the area a mecca for bushwalking, fishing, boating, sea kayaking and rock climbing. Wineglass Bay, as you can see from the photo to the right, is a picture postcard travel destination.
The nearby town of Coles Bay is the gateway to Freycinet National Park and is approximately a 2.5 hour drive from Hobart and Launceston. On the road into Coles Bay a stop at Moulting Lagoon Game Reserve to see the breeding ground for black swans and wild ducks is a must.
