The Tour Operator's Guide to Itinerary Map Videos

A PDF itinerary tells travelers where they'll go. A thirty-second map video shows them, and that's the difference between a brochure that gets skimmed and a tour that gets booked.

Draft the first cut in one sentence

Start with AI Map Prompt. Hit the Prompt button, type "10-day tour of Portugal, Lisbon to Porto via the Algarve", and Mappi drafts the stops, route, and camera in seconds. That first cut becomes the working file for every departure of that tour.

Shape it day by day

The prompt gets you eighty percent of the way there. The rest is the itinerary detail that makes the tour yours, and it goes quickly.

1. Refine the stops in Route Builder. One stop per overnight, in the order guests travel.
2. Match travel modes to the actual itinerary: drive legs for coach days, fly legs for internal hops.
3. Give each day an even per-leg duration so viewers can count the days as the route unfolds.

One format, every tour

The same format flexes to whatever kind of tour you sell. Self-drive specialists can crib from New Zealand's best road trips as map videos, while rail packages work beautifully as Europe by train with animated route maps.

Before you export, open Theme Studio and put the map in your brand colors. The video should sell your company, not just the destination.
