Tourist World Pros is like a large tourism trade fair that will cost you nothing to be present,
neither for hiring a stand, nor for accommodation nor to travel to the host city.
Your profile and your activities are your stand and the Internet is where the fair takes place,
open 24 hours throughout the year.
As with any tourism fair, your main goal should be to establish contacts with other exhibitors and visitors
and, for that, Tourist World Pros provides you with several tools.
In the tutorial dedicated to the job market we already saw
how you could get in contact with clients offering jobs.
This formula is also valid with any member and you just have to enter his profile to get in contact with him.
To do this, you must first find the profiles of members who interest you,
so open the "Job market" menu and choose "Member's search" option.
This type of form will be familiar to you from the previous tutorials
and in it you must fill in the characteristics of the members you are interested in.
From the results list you can access each member's profile
and check if it really interests you to finally get in contact with him.
Additionally, on the menu reserved for Pro members, you can make a more specific search,
just entering a few items of data.
Also on the "Pro" menu you can access the form for sending mailings to members.
To send a mailing through Tourist World Pros, the first thing you have to do
is select the characteristics of members who you want to address, using the usual members' selection form.
Once you've finished the selection, simply enter the subject of your message
and, of course, the main text, that we recommend you to write in your word processor
to make sure it does not contain misspellings.
To avoid saturating the recipients' mailbox, attachments are not allowed.
However, it is possible to automatically add some links to the bottom of the message
so the recipients can easily download the files you want to send them.
Simply tick the documents you want to link to (you should have uploaded them previously
in the "Documentation" area in "Professional data" of your profile).
If you wish, you can also customize the text that will appear at the bottom of the message
before these links, to explain to the recipient that he must click to download the documents.
When you click "Send" your mailing will be registered and messages will be sent out in the next few hours.
As you have seen, there are many communication tools at your disposal, but the more exhibitors and visitors
there are at this fair that is Tourist World Pros, the more business opportunities there will be for all.
Therefore we recommend that you go to the "My TWP" menu and choose the "Introduce a new member" option
to send an invitation to all the tourism professionals that you know
(in addition, this contribution to spreading our network will increase your score).
You just have to enter the name and e-mail address of the professional you want to send the invitation to.
We recommend a standard text for it, but you can change the contents of this form as you wish.
Another way to improve your score and help spread our network is asking your clients,
whether they are tourism professionals or not, for their feedback about you.
Remember that although only professionals can log in to Tourist World Pros,
tourists can also contact the network and post jobs through the website Shortcut Tours.
To request feedback, go to the "My TWP" menu and choose the "Request clients' feedback" option.
As in the case of an invitation to a professional, you just have to enter some basic contact information,
and you may modify the suggested information on the form.
And finally, we want to remind you of the existence of the forums,
where you can ask for advice and exchange information and opinions with other members.
The forums are divided into two main areas:
One for strictly professional subjects which are only accessible to members
and another for issues related to the different countries, where both members
and non-professional customers (from Shortcut Tours) can send their questions to members.
The operation is identical in both cases.
You must click on the desired post to enter it and read the various messages related to it.
Of course, you can add your own contribution too which will also be rewarded with an increase in your score.
It only remains to say that, for topics and posts that especially interest you, you can click
the icon to the left to be automatically notified by e-mail every time there is something new in them.
