Here are some suggestions of content you should upload:

• Photos and videos. Whether they’re professional or not, there’s a purpose for both.
• Your hotel logos and any other logos (like your restaurant or spa).
• 360 virtual tours of your guestrooms and amenities.
• Awards and certification badges (think TripAdvisor).
• Area attractions near your hotel.
• And finally, any guestroom and meeting or event-space floor plans you may have.

4. Update your Information

It’s time to add information about your hotel in Vizlly. This means stuff like your hotel address, contact information, and links to your social networks.

Though it may seem like a small detail, this information is very important as it will power the content on your Vizlly website. And this will ensure that your travel shoppers get the information they’re looking for!

5. Think about your hotel story

One of the comments we hear from hoteliers is “My hotel doesn’t have a story.” But we guarantee you that it does – actually, it probably has several!

Finding that story is the first step, because that story is going to convey an experience that guests can expect and the potential memories they can create. This is ultimately the reason why travel shoppers choose your hotel. 

When defining your hotel story, think about the following questions:

• What do guests say about your hotel?
• Why do guests choose you?
• Who are your guests?
• How do competitors make themselves stand out?
• What makes your hotel unique?
