While writing yesterday’s post on 3 Things Tourism Malaysia can do to make their Facebook Page more awesome (and make better use of our RM1.8million while at it).

I found a couple of pretty awesome Tourism Facebook Pages to share. They’ve got quite a number of elements that make a great Page (great content, engagement and even landing page).

1. Canada Keep Exploring Canada Keep Exploring (2)_1305817767143

Great pictures. They respond frequently to postings and comments. And provide up to date, non Lonely Planet stuff in their stream daily.

The only thing I wish they would change – their welcome tab still says “Congratulations, William & Kate!”.

2. Arizona – The Official Grand Canyon State’

Beautiful design of the Landing Page – and it actually gives you a Visitor’s Guide. How awesome is that?

3. See Sydney

4. I Love NY

One of the oldest (and most catchy) city brands around.

5. Love UK

This asks for a Like before you can view content. But they’ve got compelling content for any person wanting to visit the UK. So thumbs up to them for this ;)

And they say… “It doesn’t matter if you’re living here, visiting here, wanna visit here, leaving here (don’t go!) or none of the above, join us in spreading the Love UK.”

6. See Australia

7. Georgetown, Penang

George Town, Penang_1305859861641 Shoutout to Penang’s Facebook Page. 100,000+ Likes, frequent updates and interaction, and shareable content (they post LOADS of pictures).

Now, if only they could Like other pages other than CM Lim Guan Eng….

Bonus Mention: Tourism Selangor’s Twitter

I just started following them, and I do appreciate their stuff on my Twitter feed, especially since I’m not native to Selangor. So they’re doing a pretty good job so far. Now to replicate that on their pretty dead Facebook Page….
