Now the question arises why only social media, the answer is because most of the potential travelers are on the social networks. Hence it forms the best mode of distribution. For the purpose of study leading social networking sites such as Face book, twitter, Linked In, Google+ and You Tube are being considered and how is Ramoji Film City linked to the people through these social networking sites is being studied. The advantages and disadvantage of social media marketing will be found out and suggestions to overcome the barriers will be proposed.
