Toronto,
ON – November 21st, 2011 – Hoteliers are reputed to be great
storytellers, and social media provides unprecedented platforms and
audiences

Leonardo will
demystify social media and storytelling and show you how to reach,
engage and
convert more travel shoppers with vivid, compelling stories on social
