As more travelers turn to review sites and social networks for trip information and advice, Online Reputation Management (ORM) has become a critical function for the tourism industry. ORM is the process of monitoring and engaging on the social web to build awareness, shape impressions and strengthen your business.

2. Managing business listings and content on TripAdvisor, Google+ Local and Yelp
3. Time-saving tools for monitoring reviews and social media commentary
4. Best practices for responding to reviews
5. Using customer feedback to guide decisions
6. Building reviews and advocacy on social networks
