Libris by PhotoShelter, a simple and powerful digital asset management platform for visual content, and the Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA), today released the findings of a study on the trends and challenges with visual communication in adventure travel in a new report, Visual Communication Trends and Challenges in Adventure Travel.
“Photos and videos are core to how adventure travel organizations communicate and tell their brand’s stories,” said Andrew Fingerman, CEO of PhotoShelter. “As the study shows, travel brands will continue to make increasing investments in the production and procurement of visual content because of its ability to engage potential travelers. The problem is that very few organizations are prepared to manage massive amounts of visual content. As adventure travel brands capture and create more visual content, they will need to broaden their strategies behind digital asset management, including centralization, storage, searchability and accessibility.”
Key areas explored in the report include:
- How adventure travel organizations use visual assets in marketing and storytelling
- The shifting focus on photography, illustrations, video and infographics
- How adventure travel organizations source, store, organize and share visual assets
- The barriers to efficiency and success in visual communication
“Having quick and easy access to your digital content makes smart business sense. From sharing with your partners so they can sell your product or destination to creating new revenue streams for your business - the possibilities can be quite endless,” said Casey Hanisko, ATTA’s VP of Marketing and Communication. “Having worked for a tour operator with over 10,000 in just photo assets, I know it is worthwhile to dive into your budget to see where you can create opportunities and save on costs; any adventure travel company’s marketing team would be forever grateful.”
In addition to ease of business, having a streamlined system for managing photos and videos can help your brand catch the eye of potential travellers.
“Adventure travel brands have enormous potential to engage customers with visual content,” said Fingerman. “The ATTA is known in the industry for its ability to help members achieve their business goals, and we are excited to partner with them to help adventure travel organizations see higher return on their visual content investments.”
