  • Why people scroll past you today
  • How to reply to messages automatically — even at 2am

We reply within 1 hour, every business day.

Why this matters

Travellers don't just like your posts. They book from them.

Almost 6 out of 10 travellers under 45 say a social media post directly led to a recent travel booking. For active travel brands, Instagram and TikTok now bring in 4 out of 10 of all enquiries. And Pinterest searches for "travel itinerary" are growing 6 times faster every year. Posts on social are no longer just for show — they are where bookings start.

Most travel businesses miss this because they post like a brochure. Boring openings. Sales copy. Messages no one replies to. No way for a traveller to actually book. We fix every step. We make posts that grab attention. We train your team to shoot great videos on location. We answer messages automatically so no enquiry gets missed — even at 2am. And we turn every view into a future ad audience that brings in more bookings.

The travel brands winning on social all do one thing — they post real, helpful, honest content with a clear next step. We build that machine for you.

Six things — every week, every platform — all built to bring you real bookings, not just likes.

A Real Plan, Not Guessing

A simple plan for the next three months — what to post, when, and why. Every post has a reason. Never "what shall we post today?"

🎥

Videos Made for You

4 to 6 Instagram Reels a week. 3 to 5 TikToks. Weekly YouTube Shorts. Shot on location when possible. Edited by people who know travel.

🤝

Real Travel Creators

We find, brief and pay the right travel creators to talk about your business — luxury, adventure, family, whatever fits. Never random influencers begging for free trips.

📣

Boost the Best Posts

The posts that work best get extra money behind them, so they reach more travellers. We turn every viewer into a future customer.

The hook formula

The eight hook patterns travel Reels actually convert on.

After analysing 38,000 travel Reels and TikToks across our portfolio over 14 months, eight hook patterns dominate the watch-time, save and DM-conversion charts. Every brief we ship pulls from this library.

  1. Visual contradiction. "This is not Dubai." Cuts to Hatta mountains, RAK villages, Liwa dunes. Resets the destination cliche in three seconds.
  2. Price reveal. "You think a Maldives villa costs £8,000 a night. Watch this." Cuts to a £640 villa with a real booking screenshot. High save rate.
  3. Itinerary in 30 seconds. Day-by-day with quick cuts. Saves are the leading indicator of a booking enquiry.
  4. Mistake correction. "Tourists in Petra always do this wrong." Strong cold-audience hook.
  5. Comparison. "Tour A vs Tour B vs ours." Bottom-of-funnel intent, strongest enquiry rate.
  6. Local expert. Named guide or strategist on camera. Lifts trust and DM how many visitors turn into customers.
  7. Visa or rule update. "UK passport, UAE visa, what changed." Top-of-funnel, high reach.
  8. Behind the scenes. "How we plan a £40k private safari." Aspirational, high save rate.

Every Reel or TikTok we brief is mapped to a hook, a CTA, a DM keyword and a funnel role. None of it is "let's see what works".

"Reels scaled our DM pipeline from 41 to 304 qualified enquiries per month. WhatsApp routing closed the loop. Within a year, Instagram was our biggest acquisition channel."

Ask on WhatsApp
What is travel social media marketing?
Using Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, Pinterest and emerging channels to build destination demand, brand affinity and qualified booking enquiries for travel businesses. Done well, it produces a self-feeding cycle of content, community, DMs, showing ads to people who visited audiences and direct bookings.
Which channels matter most for travel?
Consumer travel: Instagram and TikTok lead, YouTube for considered purchases, Pinterest for high-intent discovery. B2B travel: LinkedIn dominates, with YouTube and Instagram supporting credentials. See Instagram vs LinkedIn.
How does social drive bookings, not just likes?
Three engineered loops: destination-affinity content, DM automation that captures qualified enquiries, and showing ads to people who visited audiences feeding Meta and Google. Every social post has a customer journey role — top of funnel, mid or direct enquiry.
How much content should we post per week?
Most travel brands undershoot. We recommend 4–6 Reels, 3–5 TikToks, 1–2 YouTube uploads (long-form or Shorts) and 5–7 carousels or stories. Algorithms test breadth before they boost reach.
How quickly will I see results?
Most travel brands see a measurable shift in DMs, saves and follower growth in 30–45 days. Direct enquiries from social scale at month 3, and the channel becomes a stable cost-per-enquiry driver between month 4 and 6.
Do you produce content or just manage posting?
Both. In-house travel content team — videographers, photographers, editors, copywriters — shipping Reels, Shorts, carousels and YouTube. We also coordinate location shoots, creator collabs and supplier content. Not just scheduling.
How much does it cost?
Retainers start at USD 2,200/month for strategy + organic management, USD 4,500 for full content production + paid amplification, and USD 9,500+ for multi-market brands running Instagram, TikTok and YouTube with creator collaborations.
Do you work with travel creators?
Yes. Active roster of vetted travel creators across the UAE, UK, Singapore, India, KSA, USA and Europe — luxury, adventure, family and bespoke niches. Brief, contract, deliver and measure end to end.
