(Tumon, Guam) The Guam Visitors Bureau (GVB) is excited to announce that TripAdvisor will participate in the upcoming #instaGuam Travel Talks Digital Global Summit on August 14. As the world’s largest travel site, TripAdvisor aims to support the travel industry across the globe to better understand the power of reviews.

Representing TripAdvisor is Sarah Matthews, Head of Destination Marketing, APAC. She will discuss the latest travel content marketing trends on TripAdvisor and its new TripAdvisor social feed product.

Matthews also led the 2017 TripAdvisor Industry training workshop in Guam, which GVB continues implementing by monitoring local businesses that have the most improved TripAdvisor rating and performance on Guam.
