Hotels, tour operators and international brands price in dollars: the country's best paid tourism market, and how to work in it all year.
Who really buys
Six client families.
Hotels and resorts.
Tour operators and inbound agencies.
International tourism brands.
Restaurants and nightlife venues.
Activity and excursion providers.
And services for foreign visitors.
What they order
Six frequent formats.
A presentation of a property or a room.
Seasonal content for bookings.
An activity or excursion video.
A guest testimonial.
Event coverage.
And a short series for social media.
Working with hotels without losing out
Seven rules that protect your margin.
Have the expected deliverables written into the quote.
Set the number of revisions included.
State the duration and territory of the rights.
Invoice travel and waiting time.
Refuse payment made only in room nights.
Include a clause if the shoot is cancelled on site.
And ask for a deposit before blocking a date.
What a hotel is really buying
Six goals behind an order.
Filling the room categories that sell worst.
Showing a restaurant outsiders can book.
Selling a seminar space out of season.
Reassuring a guest booking from abroad.
Recruiting staff before the season opens.
And answering a negative review with visible proof.
The calendar decides the year
Six organising markers.
The high season saturates venues and teams.
The months before it are the most profitable.
Rainy periods require an alternative.
Content is delivered before bookings open.
The between-seasons serve editing and prospecting.
And a good season sells again the following year.
The questions to ask before quoting
Seven answers that change the price.
Which market the content is aimed at.
Whether the property will be full during the shoot.
Whether access to the beach or the pool is granted.
Who approves, and within what deadline.
Whether a second language is wanted.
How long the content will stay online.
And whether the shots will also run as paid advertising.
Filming without showing guests
Six precautions to take.
Shoot early, before visitors arrive.
Frame so as to avoid faces.
Ask for written consent if a person appears.
Never film in a private area without agreement.
Plan an alternative version of every sensitive shot.
And have the edit approved before release.
How to build a price here
Six lines to show.
Preparation and location scouting.
The booked shooting time.
The number of deliverables and their formats.
The number of revisions included.
The rights line, with duration and territory.
And the currency, with the reference date for the rate.
What an international beach destination orders
| The buyer | Their typical order | What they require |
|---|---|---|
| A hotel or resort | The room, the beach, the service | An English version |
| An excursion operator | The activity and the safety | Compliance with site rules |
| A tourist retailer | The product and the atmosphere | Fast delivery |
What salt, sand and humidity cost
A camera body dead in one season. Rinsing accessories in fresh water, a waterproof bag and changing lenses under cover are three habits that add years to the kit.
What cannot be filmed without permission
Protected natural sites and certain archaeological areas. Rules for commercial use exist and are checked with the site's manager, not with the client ordering the video.
What the platform brings
On UGC MATCH, joining is free and there is no subscription: you are visible by category and country, and the order keeps a record of the brief and the delivery. The brand pays at ordering, the funds are not released straight away, and payment goes out on approval. The platform retains 10% of the price on the creator side, who therefore keeps 90%, and charges the brand a 6% service fee, with a minimum of 1.50 EUR.
One last marker: here the difficulty is not finding clients, it is keeping your margin until payment. It is all decided in the quote.
