Professional Photography for Online Distribution

RTV photographers will capture all required images as outlined in Choice Hotel’s photography standards.

All three RTV Professional Photography Packages include at least (30) HD Still Photos which has historically been the hospitality industry photography standard.

More recently, however, Expedia.com, Booking.com, and other Online Travel Agencies (OTA’s) have been pushing for more still photos in an effort to better promote hotels online. As a result, it’s important more now than ever to have enough still photos to meet OTA requirements as the total number of photos posted is now being used as part of hotel rankings criteria on OTA websites.

As a result, Choice Hotels has changed the number of still photo requirements for their hotels. In many cases, and for smaller and midsized hotels, (30) still photos may be all you need for your property.

Depending upon the number of unique room types and amenities that your hotel has to offer, in addition to your selected photography package, you may need to purchase additional still photos in order to meet the current Choice Hotels and OTA photography requirements.

Please Review RTV Professional Photography Packages Below:

Important: The following packages typically include enough still photos for (5) unique room types. If your hotel, however, has more than (5) unique room                        types and/or amenities such as a restaurant, conference room, banquet rooms, etc. then please click on and complete the CHI Still Image                            Calculator for standard hotels below prior to placing your order.
