Motel Video Content

Moteliers will be aware of the increasing use of video on accommodation websites.

Video content seems to be the latest buzz and value-added option for advertisers selling websites and on-line advertising to moteliers. The uptake seems to be fairly slow, however I am noticing more and more accommodation websites have some form of video content.

Moteliers may be slow to adapt, however guests seem to be taking to recording their travels via video and uploading snippits to the web with great gusto. It has never been easier for travelers to record and upload video onto social networking sites and websites such as: YouTube.com and TripAdvisor.com.

Videoing hotels and motels seem to be of great facination to am-cam armed travelers. You could discover that your motel may already feature in movie content loaded on the web!

Angus Kidman is an Australian freelance journalist, writing about technology, traveling the world and filming bits of it (mostly the motels and hotels) as he goes. He provides weird and unashamedly amateur footage of motel and hotel rooms on his (frequently funded by others) travel.

His footage has two distinct extremes of the business travel world: the excessively-priced corporate hotels that he stays in when someone else pays for them, and the cheaper and more basic ones chosen when it's his own credit card on the line.
