The Tourism industry's most valuable asset is the people working within it, yet only a small percentage of tourism businesses have ever engaged with the public sector support mechanisms set up to help them. The provision of business support, quality and skills main fall under the sphere of Business Link and the Learning Skills Council. These, along with local education establishments and Destination Staffordshire are opening up training to more businesses.

How To Twitter!
Wikipedia defines Twitter as: "a website which offers a social networking and microblogging service, enabling its users to send and read other users' messages called tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the user's profile page."
It allows you to answer the question, "What are you doing?" by sending short messages called ‘tweets', to your Twitter friends, or ‘followers'.
Over the past couple of years it has become a marketing phenomenon amongst business, from international brands to small businesses.
As a ‘micro-blogging' site the trick is to say what you want in a short amount of space - a maximum of 140 characters! Not as simple as it sounds but when it's done right it can be a very effective way of promoting your brand and getting your name out there. So follow our steps to Tweet success...
