With visual storytelling, such a vital part of your hotel marketing strategy in Cambodia, Thailand and throughout Southeast Asia, the OTA Hotel Images you choose are extremely important.

Expedia published an article on Tnooz entitled 5 tips on how hotels can convert OTA traffic into bookings and the first tip is “Take better photos (and videos) of your property.”​

Hotel room photos are viewed twice as much as restaurants, which is the second most viewed hotel photo.
