Online video is the future of travel content. People love videos. Humans are visual creatures and videos give us a special connection to what and who we are watching. It’s engaging and exciting. Videos make everything seem more real and alive.
Nowhere is this more apparent than travel. People love to see and experience places, know what they look like, hear the sounds, and watch people interact. It allows us to go “wow” and imagine ourselves in those places a lot easier. This is why the Travel Channel is so successful, and it is why online travel videos are some of the most popular channels on YouTube.
