It’s not a secret that now is the time for visual content and influencer marketing in all spheres, for all brands, including hotels. People trust people. We check buyers’ reviews before booking a hotel room and looking through pictures in Instagram. We value and listen to the opinions of people we trust and influencer marketing has become one of the most effective ways to reach the target audience.

I am experienced photographer, content creator and influencer with hotels, my experience gave me the idea create online school «Travel WIN-WIN» (going a year now), where I teach other photographers, content creators and influencers not just making high-quality visual content but creating relationships with brands and hotels and building trust. My goal is to make collaborations pleasant, professional, and mutually beneficial for both parties.

Answer to these questions will help me better to understand the needs and desires of you from the other side of hotel influencer marketing - from the inside and use it in teaching process so that influencers will be better prepared for work and (I believe) collaborations will be more successful, productive and easy.
