Remember to Breathe: Travel Alberta, Canada

Every industry has its competitions and awards, and the tourism industry is no different.

The Golden City Gate is an annual competition that has been held at ITB Berlin since 2001. Destinations from all over the world submit their best travel videos to this international tourism marketing competition.

Awards are given to the top three videos in each topic category; the Diamond Award is presented to the best movie in the competition. The 2012 Diamond Award was given to Travel Alberta for their video “Remember to Breathe” (see above). The entry deadline for 2013 is January 31, 2013.

Video concepts ranged from scenic imagery set to dramatic music to humor and effective storytelling. Such videos serve as inspriation — and competition — for your own tourism marketing videos. How do your own videos measure up?
