Tourism Film Festivals
Video is one of the most important marketing tools today, even in the tourism industry. Video is able to materialise the attributes of the destination and the intangible elements of the tourism experience. The audiovisual transports the viewer to the experience he/she will find in the place. Thanks to its persuasive power and its appeal to emotionality, video has a decisive influence on travellers' consumer choices.
In this working group we want to emphasise the importance of Travel Video as a marketing tool for destinations, tourism products and services. On the other hand, we also want to pay special attention to tourism film festivals.
Festivals dedicated to tourism audiovisuals play a very important role in the promotion of the entire value chain underlying the selected and/or awarded films. In these festivals, not only the films win, but also the tourist destinations and the different players involved in their execution, from the production companies to the communication or advertising agencies, as well as the auxiliary companies that provided services during the filming. The main objective of tourism film festivals is to recognise and reward excellence in the audiovisual promotion of tourism destinations, services and products. The festivals are also an opportunity to discover the latest trends in the sector through workshops or conferences. From their role as beacons, festivals radiate inspiration and creativity, which is why they welcome participants from all over the world.
In short, through this working group we will focus on two tools - Travel Video and festivals - that can undoubtedly help to consolidate the marketing objectives of the different agents in the tourism industry.
