Social media is more than a new way to communicate; it refers to an entire online environment built on people\u2019s contributions and interactions.<\/p>\n<p>Social media platforms that can be used to market #UgandaTourism include; Facebook,Twitter,Instagram,Watsapp,LinkedIn,Google+,Pinterest among many others.<br \/>\nSocial media networks are to the online world what an association is to the offline world. People are spending more and more time on social media all around the world than on any other medium of communication. The numbers are going higher, probably with no chance of ever going down.<br \/>\nThis can only mean one thing: Social media marketing could be effective on a grand scale.\u00a0In an age where\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pewinternet.org\/2015\/01\/09\/social-media-update-2014\/\">71%<\/a>\u00a0of adults online use Facebook, businesses have gone social to take advantage of the gold mine of potential customers and clients.<\/p>\n<p>Social media plays a very big role in promotion of <a href=\"https:\/\/everbased.com\/\">tourism in Uganda<\/a><\/p>\n<p>According to David Oguttu, team leader of Kafunda Kreative, the outfit that runs #KoiKoiUg a domestic tourism campaign, they \u00a0successfully attracted a community of creative enthusiastic Ugandans with a passion to tell the world about Uganda.<\/p>\n<p>Their campaign was successful to the extent of being featured on CNN\u2019s Inside Africa. \u201cOur involvement is about exploring how good content can contribute to a sense of discovery of Uganda through good photography, video and blogs. That sense of discovery we hoped would provide the spark that gets people travelling because of the interest in the stories of their country, its culture, communities and natural resources,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Also, frequent travellers interact with social media differently at various stages of the travel cycle. About one in every five leisure travellers worldwide visits social media sites for travel inspiration!<\/p>\n<p>So, let\u2019s embrace these platforms and take on serious marketing with them, we\u2019ll be amazed with the results.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-last\" style=\"width:50%;width:calc(50% -
