Planning a trip to Abilene? Personalized and professional travel advice is just a tweet away. The
Abilene Convention and Visitors Bureau officially launched their Twisitor Center back in December ’09 and hasn’t stopped tweeting since! The
Twisitor Center — a completely virtual visitor center via the Twitter portal — allows the ACVB to connect with potential and real-time visitors and answer questions about all things Abilene!
To find out more about Abilene, users simply post their travel question and include the hashtag, or special identifier, #abilenevisitors to the end of their tweet. Tweets tagged with the hash tag will then receive a prompt reply with suggestions from ACVB staff members.
I’m an employee of the Abilene CVB, and the Twisitor Center has been highly useful because it allows us to bring visitors the insight on our favorite things to do in Abilene and how to make the most out of their stay in our city. It allows us to connect and be more interactive with our visitors.
If you are planning on visiting Abilene within the near future or just looking for neat places and events around town, follow the Abilene Convention and Visitors Bureau on Twitter. To follow us, visit

Our staff also posted a video on YouTube to explain the concept. To view the video, visit
