Suzhou Tourism Instagram Reaches Milestone Number of Followers
Suzhou, China (PRWEB) November 22, 2016 -- Suzhou Tourism’s Instagram account, @VisitSuzhou, achieved a milestone by attracting over 3,500 followers. The destination’s Instagram account provides prospective and existing travelers with information about the destination by sharing engaging visual content including photos, videos, and user-generated content. This achievement is attributed to the recently completed “Suzhou Noodles” Instagram contest, an initiative which was part of Suzhou Tourism’s social media campaign, “A Curated Look at Suzhou’s Arts & Culture – No Visa Required,” which began in June 2016. The Instagram contest generated engagement and entries by encouraging online users to share their best photos of a Suzhou delicacy, soup noodles, on Instagram for a chance to win a culinary-inspired prize.
The ongoing social media strategies are dedicated to raising the awareness of Suzhou as a cultural epicenter of China by targeting North American travelers via digital and social media platforms. This 12-month campaign includes content creation, online contests, consumer engagement, offline events, interactive online videos, and influencer partnerships, which is being shared across its website TravelToSuzhou.com, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
