With this post we close the year 2009 – slightly later than we had hoped … but finally it is here, the ranking of tourism organizations for December 2009.

Or list of DMOs that we track has grown to over 450. All major destinations have a presence – a year ago we were only able to find 109 official tourism Twitter accounts in the US and Canada. Only four accounts on that list had more than 300 followers, today more than 330 accounts have more followers than that.

2009 has been a wild ride in social media and tourism marketing, what will 2010 bring?
