More than 54,000 people have already found out: it can pay to be friends with the Travelocity Roaming Gnome® on Facebook.

“There are a host of reasons why travelers become friends with the Roaming Gnome on a social network like Facebook”


With the introduction of the new “Travel Insider” tab on the Roaming Gnome’s Facebook page, his friends now have access to deals and promotions not available anywhere else. The first offer gives customers $75 off when booking a vacation package of three nights or more to California.

“There are a host of reasons why travelers become friends with the Roaming Gnome on a social network like Facebook,” said Troy Whitsett, vice president design and innovation, Travelocity. “Many just want to keep up with the Roaming Gnome and his adventures, but we also know that people want access to travel deals and this is a great way to reward our fans for their loyalty.”

Shop Travelocity on Facebook

Other recent upgrades to the Travelocity Roaming Gnome’s page allow his friends to use Travelocity’s popular “Deals on a Map” feature to shop for their next vacation within the Facebook environment. Friends can access this from the “Travel Deals” tab. Once friends find a flight, hotel or vacation package and are ready to book, they will be directed to Travelocity to complete their purchase.

Roaming Gnome Yourself

The Travelocity Roaming Gnome, of course, is not all business on Facebook. And there is no better example of this than the new “Roaming Gnome Yourself” application found in the “Travel Fun” tab. Friends of the Roaming Gnome can insert a personal photo into one of nine different Travelocity Roaming Gnome costumes and then share the image with their Facebook friends. Friends have the option of taking a photo with a Web cam, uploading a picture from a computer or selecting a Facebook photo.

“My favorite is the Mardi Gras Roaming Gnome,” Whitsett said. “It’s been fun to see how much buzz this application has generated on social networks like Twitter since we launched it.”
