Rwanda is a small landlocked country just south of the equator in central and east Africa. The country is mountains in the west and savannah in the east, and although primarily an agricultural economy, tourism is becoming an important part of the economy. While many people only know about Rwanda for its horrible history of genocide, travel blogger Bret Love fell in love with it. He says: Rwanda. It's relatively off the beaten path for most American travelers, and there's a lot of amazing ecotourism attractions beyond following Dian Fossey's footsteps and trekking with gorillas in Volcanos National Park. A lot of people associate the country with the Civil War and genocide that ended in 1994. But President Paul Kagame has completely transformed the country over the past 22 years, with an impressive infrastructure, impeccably managed tourism industry, and some of the most beautiful landscapes we've ever seen. Bret Love is a journalist with 23 years of experience, whose freelance clients have ranged from the Atlanta Journal Constitution and Rolling Stone to National Geographic and Yahoo Travel. Along with his wife Mary Gabbett, he is the co-founder of Green Global Travel, an award-winning blog focused on ecotourism, nature/wildlife conservation & cultural preservation that hopes to inspire and inform people on ways to live and travel more sustainably. Bret and Mary also co-founded Green Travel Media, a content marketing agency, as well as a new Fair Trade e-commerce store that's opening on Earth Day 2016. You can follow all of Bret and Mary’s travels on Green Global Travel, where they’ve recently opened a shop focusing on items from their travels. I purchased a pillow cover from the shop and was very pleased with both the customer service and quality. Find them on social media at Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Google+, and Instagram.

Tourism branding and social media In episode #19 of Tourism Tweetup the Podcast we chat to Bret Love from Green Global Travel and Green Travel Media about tourism branding and social media. We also discuss what is branding and if branding is still important and relevant in the age of social media. Highlights, Notes & Links We Mention in this Episode Bret Love saying branding gives you more control over your brand and with all the forms of social media that is around, developing a sound branding strategy through content and reinforced messaging through social media gives that control. Branding is a means of communicating what you or your organisation stands for. Defining that unique identity that separates this entity from everything else. Branding is a long term investment in your business. Every decision you make for your company (or blog or whatever) is like a deposit or a withdrawal in this investment you have with your customers. Implementing a long term branding strategy over short term gains is what is recommended. Every single touch point and everything you do is an opportunity to reinforce your message and to share with people what your brand stands for.  (Worth listening in at the 5 minute mark for more details). Asking these questions can help outline your brand: Who are you? What drives you? Who are your target audience and why should they care about you? What are the defining values that set you apart? What do you stand for? If you don't define yourself others will define you for you. From the 11 minute mark Bret talks about the work he did with Costa Rica Tourism #ecocostarica and the second branding campaign who is with International Expeditions. Both involve storytelling as key elements and working with bloggers to tell those stories - and stories that will connect with the target audience. [Tweet ""Storytelling is at the core of how you reach people who are trying to make consumer decisions" "] At around the 18 minute mark I ask Bret about what types of content are working. He gives a great answer that basically says there is not a one size fits all. Worth listening to this discussion. "...it's bringing a magazine approach, mixing things up, balancing things out, so you have a little bit of this and a little of that. It is bringing that to the content your produce for business and marketing purposes." "People are afraid to take chances because they don't know yet what will work. And you've got to get past that, of being afraid of failure and be willing to try the things that will make your brand stand out from others." At the 22 minute mark I ask Bret if he has a favourite social media channel - listen in for the response! Finally I ask Bret about what he is excited about for 2015. There is loads going on with Bret and Green Travel Media but his key upcoming project with Travelers Building Change is the most important and special.

  “A lot of people… hear the word “eco-tourism” and they think it’s just about protecting the environment. But to me, “eco” stands for ecology but it also stands for economy. And eco-tourism is not responsible unless the local communities benefit from the preservation of the eco-system. If they don’t benefit economically from it, then it has no hope.” - Bret Love In this episode, get to know the founder and mind behind Green Global Travel, and Green Travel Media — two services helping brands and destinations raise awareness of their green initiatives and to build up a vibrant community of writers and organizations working together in tandem to give Ecotourism a broader, more prominent international platform. Bret Love is a music journalist and travel writer — who along with his wife launched Green Global Travel to pursue a passion around eco-tourism. A Quick Preview How a single transformational experience with an elephant while on safari changed the trajectory of Bret’s entire life from music journalism to travel media. Why blogging seemed like the right platform after mulling over the idea for 10 years. Where the idea for Green Global Travel came from as a media entity. Why Bret developed a love of a more connected, transformational experience to get more from life. How ecotourism is almost like a wealth re-distribution industry - “spending your money responsibly in a way that protects instead of exploits.” Exactly what Bret’s doing to help connect travelers and brands through transformational, green travel experiences. How you can help save rhinos from poaching.
