Photo Competition

Enable travelers to share photos of their journeys through an in-app competition that generates engagement and valuable visual content for product marketing.

Last updated 2 minutes ago

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.
