/PRNewswire/ --

Upon reaching the milestone of 100,000 likes on their company Facebook page

this week, David Smith COO of HostelBookers, the budget accommodation

specialist, shares his thoughts on the importance of Social Media.

"Firstly, I'd like to thank our fantastic community of travellers for liking,

commenting and sharing with HostelBookers throughout the years we've been

on Facebook. You've made our page what it is today, and we will strive to

continue to make this page an even better place for those who love travel to

talk with us and each other.

We're very proud at being the first budget accommodation provider to have

100,000 likes. Our online travel community is important for HostelBookers,

building a vital bridge between our brand and our customers. We aim to inspire

and amuse, but mostly engage with our customers, and that means listening to

them as much as talking to them. Social Media is forcing companies to be more

accessible to their users, those who embrace the community are getting good

results and our success is there for all to see."

HostelBookers uses their Facebook page as a communication channel for

customers with questions or issues. They partner with top travel photographers,

bloggers and companies to develop the travel community as a whole. They also

run regular features and competitions which result in a very high engagement

level, currently at 30% according to Facebook insights.

HostelBookers is the leading budget accommodation website in the travel

industry that does not charges service or booking fees and is, on average, 8.7%

less expensive than its nearest competitor. It features over 20,000 hostels,

cheap hotels and properties in over 3,500 destinations across the world.
