Hospitality and tourism in 2026 live on Reels that deliver travel inspiration in 15 seconds. We build hotel and resort brands that grow direct bookings on social instead of paying expensive OTA commissions.

## Challenges

- Dependence on OTA commissions (Booking, Expedia)
- Extreme seasonality (peak vs. off-season)
- High share of international guests
- The experience has to land in 15 seconds

## Place-driven Reels

Visual travel inspiration with sound, pacing and experience focus.

## Direct booking funnels

Story funnels and Meta ads that bypass OTAs.

## Multilanguage setups

Content for DE, EN, IT, FR. depending on source markets.

## Channel strategy

Instagram (45%), TikTok (25%), Pinterest (15%), Meta Ads (15%). This selection isn't a one-size-fits-all channel plan: for Hotels and resorts, Destinations, Tourism providers, we give each platform a clear job across discovery, deeper information and action. Organic content delivers topic and format signals; paid distribution only extends variants that fit the audience and the respective goal. Aspirational, sensorisch, place-driven. Sound und Visuals dominant.

## Content production

Production is built around real situations from Hotellerie. To do that, we bundle Room tours, 48-hour guides, Guest perspectives, Culinary reels into repeatable series, plan variants before the shoot and clarify sensitive claims and sign-offs early on. A single production day yields different openings, lengths and aspect ratios, so the same cut doesn't land unchanged on every channel.

## Working together

At the start, we prioritize increase direct bookings and make experiences visible. In the first phase of work, we review existing content, landing pages, sign-off paths and measurement options. A 90-day plan then takes shape with topics, formats, a production rhythm and clear responsibilities. The first publications serve as a solid learning phase; after that, topics, variants and distribution are adjusted based on the agreed metrics.

## Seasonality

Booking peaks in January (summer), October (winter), May (last minute).
