The Future of Drone Tourism: How Drones are Changing the Travel Industry

There is absolutely no doubt that drones have a big impact on the travel industry. Now, travellers are of the opinion that drones are useful for photography, videography, exploration, blogging, etc. If they are using drones so much, then it is definitely time for travel agents as well to take the use of drones into their stride. 
Such is the custom of eternity that everything is subject to change, and change is the only constant. So, we can say that it is the time when travel agents also have to change the way they dish out services to their ultimate customers, i.e. travellers.
If travel agents learn to operate drones themselves or encourage anyone from their staff to do so, they can include the things that the travellers want to include in their trip and hence boost their business. In this blog, we will discuss why travellers use drones and why travel agents should offer these services in their packages to stand out from the competition.

1. Capturing Stunning Shots

The most notable use of drones in travel is capturing striking photos of the beautiful landscapes people travel through. With drones, it is possible to get a bird' s-eye view of beaches, mountains, monuments, etc., which adds an altogether new perspective to photos taken during the course of travel. Pictures taken via drones enable people to increase their social media following. A drone can easily manoeuvre in tight spaces, making getting detailed but elevated shots easy.
Travel agents can offer their travellers the facility of a drone photographer. A person well-versed in the handling of camera drones can take striking drone shots of the travellers and awe them. This way, people will not be forced to take photos via drones on their own, but a drone pilot can do it for them.

2. Immersive Videos to Inspire Travel Buffs

Drones are not only awe-inspiring travellers with striking snaps but also with the ability to capture videos from an altogether different perspective. With drone-captured videos, travellers can produce immersive experiences and cinematic edits of their experiences in exotic locations. These are fine because of the smooth gliding and soaring aerial motions achieved by drones. Travel vloggers make use of drone footage to encourage their viewers to travel to different places.

Not everybody is a pro at videography, and drone videography is not everyone’s cup of tea. Suppose you are doing some adventure activities and you get HD videos of the same via drone; yes, this is possible with an expert drone pilot who is also no muck with videography.  As a travel agent, when you provide travellers with expert drone photographers and videographers, you will be much ahead of the competition.

3. Promoting Undiscovered Destinations

Drones can enhance tourism worldwide by promoting less well-known or more difficult-to-reach locations. Travel bloggers use drones to highlight hidden gems, and the captions of such drone videos encourage people to travel to offbeat destinations. Drones augment the storytelling potential for attracting likely tourists to rather undiscovered places and then increasing tourism.
If a traveller wants to explore a place, a travel agent can offer a package including a drone exploration, which the traveller will not do, but it will be done by a drone pilot. With many prospects related to drones coming up in the travel industry, travel agents can also consider becoming drone pilots by taking up drone pilot training at Flapone Aviation, a leading drone and aviation training institute, based in Delhi-NCR.

4. Travel and Adventure Vlogging

Drones are making their presence felt in the field of content creation. Content creators nowadays have started using drones to elevate the quality of cinematography. Drones are good for capturing travel footage like a pro. They also have smart features like motion sensing, gesture control, and headless mode that make cinematography easy. For travel vloggers creating atmospheric video tours leaving viewers longing to take up their own journeys, the footage possibilities with drones are endless.
 Travel vloggers are seldom drone experts, and it is sometimes not very easy for them to work with drones. At this point in time, the person who can bail them out of jail is an expert drone pilot and camera handler. If a travel agent has this skill in the armoury, then he will surely become the favourite of travel and adventure vloggers.

5. Responsible and Safe Drone Use

Responsible and Safe Drone Use

When drones are used in tourism, they need to be used with utmost safety. Travel agents, if they are trained drone pilots would always give the foremost weightage to safety along with the laws controlling the usage of drones for recreational purposes. When drones are used for travel, it’s also important to respect the environment and the culture of the place where the drone is flying. 
It is harmful to make use of drones to geotag sensitive places or to encroach into communities of natives that lead traditional life aloof from modern technologies. Drones need supervision from travel agents and travel material producers, just as any other tech. This is why training is of utmost importance when one has to propel drones for commercial purposes.

 

Coming to a Close
Travel agents can benefit from learning to use drones effectively to enhance their business. By becoming drone pilots themselves, they can add an additional aspect to their portfolio. The development of drone technology, combined with social media and content platforms, will push global tourism to a different level in the coming years. 

Travellers will then not have to worry about the safe and efficient operation of drones during their travel, as travel agents can do this.  Travellers just have to focus on making the most of their time during travel without worrying about the hassle of taking aerial shots and videos to make their travel more fun and memorable. If that is the case, then they will not hesitate to pay some extra bucks to have an expert drone handler to make their travel experience one to cherish for a lifetime.
