A Travel Animation video showcases routes and images of destinations, helping resorts attract the audience and boost bookings.
Imagine you own a resort and want to increase your bookings through online platforms by showcasing your resort locations and nearby tourist attractions. You want to create engaging content to connect with a larger audience. Video content works better than raw images and requires engaging content.
This blog will explain how travel animation videos can help resorts increase bookings and brand awareness, which can help them build businesses.
Why Resorts Need Travel Animation?
- Increase engagement on digital platforms—Travel animation videos quickly grab attention on social media, websites, and booking platforms, making the content unique.
- Storytelling experience—Animation videos make the resort experience more life than row images and videos.
- Building brand identity—People should remember the unique things in the competitive market. It adds value and a unique touch to travel animation video content.
- Clarity about the destinations—Potential customers can visualize their destination and add resort images in the animation video to attract the audience.
Types of Travel Animations for Resorts
You can make travel animation videos for various purposes in different ways. Some of the most effective types include,
- Destination attract videos—Animations showcase the resort’s nearby attractions, including beaches and adventure activities. This makes it easier for tourists to plan their stay and helps increase bookings for the resort mentioned in the animation video.
- Tourist journey animations—A step-by-step animated video of resort guests sharing their experiences—from checking in to exploring different destinations—attracts a larger audience. Travel animation videos that showcase experiences increase the audience’s trust more than those that showcase images of the resort.
- Events promotions—Resorts sometimes host events on beaches or adventure spots to improve the guest experience. Travel animation videos can create the event destinations from the resort and help them visualize what they can expect to encourage participants. This helps the resort to stand out from others.

A Worked Example: The "Getting Here" Video
The most useful resort video is often the plainest one: how guests get from the airport to your front door. It answers a question every guest asks before booking, and it works on your website, in confirmation emails and on WhatsApp.
Say your resort is in Ubud, Bali. Here’s how we’d build it.
- Start at the airport. Type the IATA code DPS into the search bar instead of the full airport name. Our guide to searching airports by IATA code covers this.
- Add the resort as the last stop, plus one or two landmarks guests pass on the way if they help with orientation.
- Use a car model and switch on Real Routes. Long-press the airport point and tap Enable Real Route, so the car follows actual roads rather than a straight line. Guests notice when a transfer route looks wrong.
- Add a 3D airport element at the start and a photo of your entrance or lobby at the end, so the arrival point is unmistakable.
- Open with a cover image that names the resort and the rough transfer time.
Export one version in 16:9 for your website and one in 9:16 for Instagram Stories. It’s the same route, so this takes minutes.
Keeping a Series of Resort Videos On-Brand
One video is easy. Ten videos that look like they came from the same resort take a little planning.
- Put your logo on every export. With Pro, open Settings, tap Watermark and choose Custom to upload your logo. A transparent PNG looks cleanest, and you can keep up to four logos saved.
- Choose one map style and one route line colour, ideally your brand colour, and use them for the whole series.
- Reuse routes as templates. Save a styled route, then open it later with Load Route and swap in this season’s photos or a new excursion stop. Pro lets you save multiple routes; the free plan keeps one at a time.
- Use a consistent opening frame. The same cover image layout, with only the title changing, makes your videos instantly recognisable in a feed.
