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.

The customized texts are not yet available until the upcoming App release.

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.
