Resorts, dry-season light and an international airport: one of the best paid tourism markets in the country.
An economy of resorts, villas and dry season
Six client families.
Resorts and hotels.
Villas and high-end rentals.
Activity and excursion providers.
Tourist restaurants and shops.
Estate and property management agencies.
And services for foreign residents.
What they order
Six frequent formats.
A presentation of a property or a villa.
Seasonal content for bookings.
An activity or excursion video.
A guest testimonial.
Coverage of a private event.
And a short series for social media.
What a resort expects from a video
Six goals behind an order.
Filling the weeks that stay empty.
Showing a room that sells badly.
Presenting a restaurant open to people passing through.
Selling a reception space out of season.
Recruiting staff before opening.
And holding images usable for several seasons.
English is not optional here
Six uses that can be invoiced.
A version filmed in English.
Subtitles per market.
Proofreading by a native speaker.
Communication toward a foreign agency.
Content for an international fair.
And a profile properly written in both languages.
The rights line, item by item
Seven elements to price separately.
The authorised exploitation period.
The territories covered.
The media included.
Use in paid advertising.
Transfer to partners or resellers.
The right to alter the edit.
And exclusivity, if it is requested.
The questions to settle before signing
Seven answers that change the quote.
Who owns the footage once it is delivered.
Whether the property may pass it to a booking site.
Whether the edit can be recut by their agency.
How many rounds of approval are included.
Whether guests may appear on camera.
What happens if the shoot is cancelled on site.
And when the payment actually leaves.
Working the season and surviving the rain
Six organising markers.
The dry season concentrates demand and rates.
The wet months serve editing and prospecting.
Content is delivered before bookings open.
An indoor alternative must exist every day.
The gear needs constant maintenance.
And a good season sells again the following year.
Filming in a resort
Six rules to respect.
Shoot early, before the guests arrive.
Never film a guest without written consent.
Respect private areas.
Follow the property's visual guidelines.
Plan an alternative version of sensitive shots.
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, detailed as above.
And the peak-season surcharge.
What a tourism and ranching province orders
| The buyer | Their typical order | Their season |
|---|---|---|
| A hotel or rental | The room, the pool, the beach | The dry season |
| An activity operator | The departure and the supervision | The high season |
| A livestock producer | The herd and the product | All year |
What the dry season changes about a shoot
Dust and very hard light. A protective filter, an early shoot and a cloth always to hand change the final quality more than any camera setting.
What cannot be improvised with animals
The animal's safety and comfort. The pace is set by the person handling them, never by the planned shot, and a shoot that forgets it loses access for next time.
What the platform brings
On UGC MATCH, joining is free and there is no subscription: you declare your languages, 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 your income does not depend on the number of days worked, it depends on what you give away. Read that line before any other.
