Inspiration Dreaming of A Vacation

A traveler is dreaming of a leisure vacation and is easily distracted by the new and shiny – and that’s as far as they’ve gotten. They simply have a defined travel intent but have not gotten down to the nuts and bolts of planning their vacation. This is the perfect opportunity for your hotel or resort to plant a seed in that consumer’s head about your property.

Challenge – Are you visible?

Goal – Inspire travel; generate awareness

At the inspiration stage of the funnel, your ads should focus on selling the unique experience of your hotel or your destination to spark a desire to travel.
