Last interview from me from Le Web held in Paris last week. I was very excited to catch up with Jerome Touze who is the co-founder of WAYN.com, the travel social networking sites who have more than 15M members. In this interview, you will hear from some new features happening on the site, how the site has evolved in the last 3 years and also the re-opening of a paid subscription model where you can access some sort of a "VIP" club with many advantages like upgrade on car rental, discount in hotels and so on. Enjoy the interview and as always feel free to comment.

Yes, Social media is very important in any business, as so for the hotel industry as well. One cannot today over look Social Media and avoid it. I have seen several social media sites which help hotels to connect to their clients, like Twitter, Facebook, yes Wayn.com looks a new one in the block

With Social media marketing related to Hotel industry we can communicate to client better, keep them informed about food menus, new amenities, tariff, know their views on what they would not talk up front.
