In short: for a travel agency, a tour operator or a tourism office in Morocco, video first makes people dream, then reassures them: destination teaser, a tour told day by day, a presentation of the team and vehicles, activity Reels, drone footage and short videos for ads. The most effective approach is to film on a real departure, with the travellers’ consent. YOURMEDIA, based in Rabat, travels all over Morocco for these shoots, from 1,500 MAD.
Before booking a desert tour, an umrah trip, a weekend in Chefchaouen or a day trip to Imlil, customers watch videos first. They want to see the places, but also the agency: who welcomes them, which vehicle they travel in, where they sleep. Here are 7 useful video formats for a travel agency or a tourism business in Morocco, with practical tips for filming them.
Why video matters so much in tourism
A trip is bought without being able to try it. Video fills that gap: it shows the atmosphere, the pace of a day and the quality of service better than photos. It also answers two questions every traveller asks: “will it be as beautiful as in the brochure?” and “can I trust this agency?”. An agency that shows its real tours, real guides and real vehicles immediately stands out from offers copied from the internet.
| Your audience | What they want to see | Recommended language |
|---|---|---|
| Moroccan travellers (weekends, holidays, umrah) | The programme, the accommodation, the group atmosphere | Darija with subtitles |
| Foreign tourists | Landscapes, activities, safety, quality of transport | English, French, Spanish |
| Companies (seminars, incentives) | Logistics, hotels, group activities | French or English |
| Partners and tour operators | The agency’s know-how and references | English and French |
7 video formats for a travel agency
1. The destination teaser
One minute that makes people want to go: Merzouga at sunrise, the Fez medina, the Essaouira coast. Fast-paced, with little text and royalty-free music. It is the hook video for ads and the website.
2. The tour told day by day
A 3 or 7-day tour summed up in 60 to 90 seconds: departure, stops, a night in a desert camp, activities. Customers understand the programme without reading a long page.
3. The agency presentation
The team, the office, the guides and the vehicles. A short video that reassures, ideal for your Google Business Profile, your website and WhatsApp messages.
4. Activity Reels
Quad biking, camel rides, hiking, surfing, hammam: one activity per Reel, filmed up close, in 15 to 30 seconds.
5. Drone footage
Dunes, kasbahs, gorges or the coastline seen from the sky. A drone gives a sense of scale that is hard to get otherwise; it requires the authorisations set by the regulations.
6. The traveller’s story
A real traveller, with written consent, describes their stay in a few sentences. No fake testimonials and no actors presented as customers: trust is the whole point.
7. The B2B video for partners
For foreign tour operators and companies: a calmer video that presents the flagship tours, the logistics and the references, in English or French.

| YouTube and website | 16:9 | 1–3 min | Detailed tours, destination teaser |
| 9:16 | 20–60 s | Send the programme as a video to prospects | |
| Trade fairs and partners | 16:9 | 1–2 min | Present the agency to tour operators |
Filming tips for tourism
- Film on a real departure: the footage feels more alive and you show your real service. Inform the travellers and have them sign an image release.
- Aim for the right light: sunrise and sunset for landscapes, avoiding midday in the desert.
- Add drone shots for wide spaces, with a registered pilot: see our drone filming in Morocco service.
- Show the details that reassure: air conditioning in the vehicle, the room, the meals, the guide waiting at the airport.
- Think about languages while filming: a Darija version for the Moroccan market, an English version for international customers. See our guide Darija voice-over and subtitles.
- Film once, reuse often: one tour shoot can give a teaser, several Reels and ads for the whole season.

How much does a video for a travel agency cost?
The budget mainly depends on travel: number of days on the tour, distance from Rabat, drone, number of languages and videos delivered. At YOURMEDIA, a video starts from 1,500 MAD, and large productions can go up to 600,000 MAD. For an agency, the best value is often a 1 to 3-day shoot on a flagship tour, which then feeds the website, social media and ads.
