Spring Break Adventures Start on YouTube

Seasonal / January 22, 2025

As travelers gear up for spring break and beyond, YouTube has become the ultimate destination for planning and inspiration. Whether they’re researching dream destinations, exploring attractions, or seeking travel tips, today’s consumers are turning to YouTube more than ever before. For travel marketers, this presents an incredible opportunity to connect with audiences at key moments in their journey.

Why YouTube for Travel Campaigns?

The numbers speak for themselves:

  • Two-thirds of U.S. consumers watch online travel videos when they’re thinking about taking a trip.
  • Travel-related content views are up 118% year-over-year, as travelers spend more time watching online videos than ever before.
  • 88% of YouTube travel searches focus on destinations, attractions, or general travel ideas, making it the go-to platform for travel inspiration.

With this level of engagement, YouTube offers unmatched opportunities for travel advertisers to capture attention and drive action.

The Jamaican Tourist Board (JTB) partnered with VuePlanner to execute a post-pandemic travel campaign targeting three key markets: the U.S., Canada, and the UK. The campaign leveraged YouTube’s Video Action format to drive viewers to the Jamaica Travel Deals webpage, encouraging them to explore the island’s offerings and book their next trip.

The Results:

  • 226,000 Conversions achieved during the campaign.
  • 61% Month-over-Month Conversion Rate Increase, showcasing the campaign’s growing momentum.
  • 1.59% Click-Through Rate, driving significant traffic to the client’s site.

Client Testimonial: “We’re very happy with the results that VuePlanner has driven for us in these past few months, driving a Cost per Site Visit stronger than I think any of us expected and in line with our lowest funnel Social & Search channels. On top of the strong results generated by our Video Action campaign, it’s been a true pleasure working with the VuePlanner team. They’ve been a great YouTube partner for the JTB account, answering questions quickly and thoroughly, adjusting the plan to meet our goals, and being flexible/nimble to accommodate client direction, as necessary. We are definitely eager to maintain the partnership going into next year.” — Rachel Perlman, Associate Media Director, Jamaican Tourist Board
