We are continuously inspired by emerging technologies, platforms, trends and market drivers, and as a company, we invest in forward-thinking marketing. We constantly strive to innovate and create incredible and memorable campaigns and content.
We introduced VR in 2015 as a means to further engage our travellers. It provides us with the opportunity to bring our brochure to life and allows consumers to get a taste of what they could be in store for if they booked a trip with us.
All our VR campaigns are loaded onto our Samsung headsets. We initially started with VR content that focused on Europe as a destination and then introduced USA and Latin American content. Now we have a whole range of destinations available to view by means of VR.
As one of the leaders in the VR space, we ran an April Fool’s day campaign in 2016 around our introduction of VR and taking it to another level.
I wouldn’t say a new audience, but it is providing us with an opportunity to engage more consumers – particularly when they come talk to us at expos about our trips. This interactive experience allows us to give them a little taste of what an adventure with us would be like, and hopefully, with that excitement, they’ll book a trip to experience it all – in real life.
We have our own in-house team that creates all our video content. The content is filmed on our trips by our teams and is a true reflection of what we offer and who Contiki is.
We always have something awesome and exciting up our sleeve. We can’t give away too many secrets... but for now, VR is a fun and engaging way for us to connect with potential travellers.
