Why Tourism Needs Custom LUT Creation

In the Tourism sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, Custom LUT Creation delivers measurable results that transform how tourism professionals communicate with their audience.

Specific Challenges for Tourism

Tourism video production sells dreams — it must transport viewers to a destination emotionally before they commit financially. The content must trigger what researchers call "destination desire": a visceral feeling that you need to be in that place. This requires cinematic production quality with drone aerials showing landscape scale, golden-hour lighting that flatters every location, and human elements (local markets, street musicians, café terraces) that signal authentic experience rather than tourist clichés. The seasonal nature of tourism creates a content calendar driven by booking windows — summer destination videos must be ready by January, ski resort content by September. Distribution spans travel platforms (TripAdvisor, Booking.com), social media (Instagram being the dominant inspiration channel), and destination marketing organization campaigns. Budgets range from 2,000 euros for a boutique hotel to 200,000+ euros for a national tourism board campaign. The primary KPI is booking conversion rate from video-exposed audiences versus non-exposed.

Video Challenges in Tourism

Inspiring Wanderlust from a Screen

Tourism is inherently experiential — the challenge is making someone feel the warmth of a destination through a screen. Destinations with professional video content see 67% more bookings than those relying on photos alone. Yet each destination competes with thousands of others for the same traveler's attention.

The tourism industry needs content that works across the entire booking journey: inspirational destination films for awareness, practical experience videos for consideration, and testimonial content for conversion. Seasonality adds urgency — content must be ready before peak booking windows.

Success Stories & Case Studies

Boutique Hotel Brand Film

A boutique hotel chain produced immersive 3-minute films for each property. Direct bookings increased 54%, reducing OTA commission costs by €320K annually. The videos were shared 45K times on social media.

Key Benefits for Tourism

Direct Bookings & Destination Appeal

Tourism video drives direct revenue: hotel videos increase direct bookings by 54%, reducing dependency on OTAs. Destination marketing videos generate 1,200% more shares than text and images combined. Experience preview videos reduce cancellation rates by 18% as travelers arrive with accurate expectations.

Our Custom LUT Creation Process

Color Grading Process

1. Color Analysis: We review all footage, identify exposure/white balance issues, and establish the target look with mood references and LUT exploration.

2. Primary Correction: Exposure normalization, white balance correction, and overall color balance across all shots for consistency.

3. Creative Grade: Scene-by-scene color grading to achieve the desired mood, with custom power windows, secondary corrections, and film emulation.

4. Final QC: Broadcast compliance check (if needed), HDR/SDR delivery, and export of custom LUTs for future use.

What Makes Custom LUT Creation Unique

LUT creation builds a custom color lookup table that encodes your signature visual style into a reusable file — applicable in-camera, in editing software, or on set via a monitor. We design the LUT based on your reference images, brand colors, and target aesthetic, testing it across diverse skin tones, lighting conditions, and exposure ranges to ensure it holds up in real-world use. We deliver in .cube format (compatible with DaVinci Resolve, Premiere, Final Cut, and most cinema cameras) in both 33-point and 65-point resolutions. Turnaround is 3-5 business days. This is ideal for brands, creators, and DPs who want consistent color across shoots without re-grading every project.
