We’ve got stories, and we’re sharing them here in the #tbexjlm Link Round Up. Because we’e explored Jerusalem, the holiest of lands, where we walked in the footsteps of deity. We reveled in The Shuk by day, and a Spectacular like no other by night. We dined on hummus, falafel and shaksuka. We watched the sunrise over ancient city walls from the seat of a bicycle, reveled the the Israeli culture, and found ourselves deeply mystified by its complexity. And we discovered Jerusalem is saturated in layers that when peeled away, provide a boundless supply of stories for the telling.
We learned valuable information for mastering our preferred media and publishing platforms. We discovered proven methods for honing our craft and strengthening our brand. We gleaned advice and techniques from industry experts for capitalizing on a sound business strategy. That’s what brings bloggers, vloggers and social media influencers to TBEX, and what keeps them coming back time after time.
We also have the results of the TBEX Jerusalem Case Study commissioned by the Jerusalem Convention & Visitors Bureau and conducted by Incon Global Partnership. The 400+ bloggers and influencers who attended #tbexjlm reached MILLIONS of people, inspired the next generation of travelers, and propelled Jerusalem to new levels of tourism success!
But most importantly, TBEX is about the people. People like you.
