Trailstreams 2000th hotel video recording

News release

23rd January 2009

trailstream, the only UK based travel eBrochure and video content provider, has achieved a major milestone, by filming their 2,000th hotel, The Domina El Sultan , Sharm El Sheikh.

Currently 1,500 of these are live within, trailstream VIEW ™, their online video library with bespoke footage also being used within programming on satellite television. The library allows operators, travel agents and accommodation only providers to exploit compelling video content with ‘Wish you were here’ style films of the most popular hotels in the most popular destinations. Typically one minute in length, each video has been filmed and edited by professional crews and is complete with music and voiceover, which exceeds the expectations of an ever more demanding consumer to drive sales and support an increase in conversion.

Dave Howard (Managing Director) of trailstream said ‘To film 2,000 hotels within 18 months is a significant achievement and underlines the high level of investment, and commitment of our team. We now have the perfect formula for filming and producing the videos and maximise the opportunities presented to us when in resort ensuring we acquire the highest quality original material. The footage can then be used to create anything from bespoke films or edits to our standard library clip.

trailstream VIEW is complemented in the range of products offered by trailstream, which includes trailstream ONE, a centralised database of package holiday content covering both hotel and destination content for the UKs most popular tour operators, trailstream Agent Aid, a virtual package holiday brochure rack and trailstream ECHO which uses trailstream content to create highly personalised PDF e-Brochures on a website or within a retail network.

Howard added ‘Our clients will be able to offer their customer’s the widest range of hotel video content, more than any online travel site including Thomson and Thomas Cook’
