# Photo Competition

{% hint style="warning" %}
**The customized texts are not yet available until the upcoming App release.**
{% endhint %}

The Photo Competition allows travel providers to collect authentic, high-quality photos directly from travelers through the GUIBO Tour Guide App. This creates engagement while building a valuable library of real travel imagery for marketing purposes. As AI-driven marketing tools become more prevalent, having a large volume of authentic product images gives travel providers a competitive advantage, as these tools primarily depend on extensive data rather than just individual high-quality images.
