Union Gap, WA’s #SmallTownTourismChat celebrates its 3rd Anniversary on Twitter
Each month, the #SmallTownTourismChat features a different cohost
According to Union Gap’s Tourism Director Eric Patrick, “We had started communicating on various Twitter chats and really enjoyed the interaction with the travel and tourism community. We wanted to participate in a chat meeting our specific needs as a small town and didn’t find one that lined up with our needs, so in November of 2019 we launched #SmallTownTourismChat.”
The chat typically features 6 questions and runs for about 45 minutes. Each month a different co-host participates and the questions are custom tailored for the co-host and tie to many of the highlights of Union Gap and the Yakima Valley. Over the course of the 3 years the chat’s co-hosts have included 13 travel and tourism influencers, 10 destinations across North America and 7 travel and consulting experts. There have been three co-hosts from outside the United States including two from Canada and one from England.
The chat has helped position Union Gap as a leader in ‘Small Town’ tourism in the U.S.A and since the chat has started they have been asked to participate as hosts or guests on other chats including the popular #TravChat and #FoodTravelChat. Union Gap also was a guest on the popular travel podcast, ‘Destination on the Left’ in January of 2021. The chat is already recruiting guest hosts for 2022 and two of the months are already booked.
Deccio's Seasonings, a seasoning that is produced in Union Gap is the sponsor, and each co-host receives a gift package of Deccio's.
@IBBTravel on Twitter, a past co-host stated about the #SmallTownTourismChat “Isn’t it amazing @UnionGapWA has something special here. I’m so glad I could be a small part of it! #SmallTownTourismChat"
And @Old96Tourism stated, "Thx @UnionGapWA for the shout out! Appreciate you folks & all you do to get the word out about the ‘rural gems’ of America. Salute!"
Come celebrate the 3rd Anniversary of the #SmallTownTourismChat on Wednesday, November 17th at 2:30pn PST.
