## Visiting Media Named a Finalist in the 2025 Skift IDEA Awards
We’re honored to share that Visiting Media has been named a finalist in the 2025 Skift Idea Awards, in the Travel Technology category.
### Recognized for Reimagining Hotel Sales
We’re honored to share that Visiting Media has been named a finalist in the [2025 Skift Idea Awards](https://skift.com/2025/07/18/skift-idea-awards-meet-the-2025-finalists/) , in the Travel Technology category.
These awards highlight bold, forward-thinking projects that are changing the future of travel. [Visiting Media Platform](https://visitingmedia.com/vmp) was recognized for doing just that: helping hospitality teams sell space in a faster, more immersive, and more intelligent way.
Skift recognizes projects that solve challenges, inspire change, and move the industry forward. We’re proud to be included among such inspiring companies, and are even more excited about what it means for the future of hospitality sales.
### What This Means for You
Visiting Media Platform was built to tackle the realities hospitality teams face every day:
- Too many tools
- Not enough time
- Rising expectations to personalize, scale, and win faster
Visiting Media Platform was built to tackle these exact problems. And this nomination reinforces that the industry is moving in the same direction: toward simpler, more visual, and more buyer-friendly selling.
With Visiting Media Platform, your team can:
- Build customized virtual site visits in minutes
- Stay on-brand across all properties and platforms
- See what buyers are engaging with—and follow up at the right time
- Save hours of admin time every week
- Close more business, from anywhere
It’s not about replacing personal touch. It’s about removing friction so your team can focus on strategy, relationships, and results.
Visiting Media Platform isn’t a replacement for the salesperson. It’s a force multiplier , helping teams sell faster, better, and smarter.
### Innovation Rooted in Hospitality
Visiting Media Platform wasn’t built to follow a trend—it was built to solve a real need. For too long, hospitality sales teams have been underserved by tech. Legacy tools, disconnected content, and growing demand have created real barriers.
Visiting Media Platform changes that.
It brings together immersive visuals—like 3D, 360°, and CGI —with easy-to-use tools that streamline your entire sales process. From site visits to follow-up materials, every touchpoint becomes faster, more personal, and more effective.
Whether you manage one property or a global portfolio, Visiting Media Platform helps you:
- Reduce time spent on every lead
- Increase conversions with smarter follow-up
- Keep brand consistency while giving teams room to customize
It’s innovation that works, not just wows.
### Real Results, At Scale
More than 3,300 propertie s already use Visiting Media Platform, including leaders like Hilton, Hyatt, Accor , and Marriott.
They’re using immersive content not just to show spaces, but to tell richer stories, spark buyer confidence, and bring their brand to life in every interaction.
Teams are seeing [real outcomes:](https://visitingmedia.com/roi-with-visiting-media)
- Hundreds of hours saved per salesperson each year
- Higher RFP win rates and better-qualified leads
- Faster buying cycles and more proactive follow-up
- Six-figure deals closed—often before a single site visit
As immersive content becomes the new standard, Visiting Media Platform helps hospitality teams go beyond static and disconnected visuals, turning every sales touchpoint into an opportunity to inspire, differentiate, and deliver an experience worth remembering.
### A Moment of Recognition—And Forward Momentum
This Skift nomination reflects the future of hotel sales, and we’re honored to be part of it.
To the hospitality teams rethinking how you sell: this moment is for you, too. You’re demonstrating that immersive selling is more than a trend—it’s the new standard.
Winners will be announced August 8. Until then, we’re proud to celebrate this milestone—and to continue building tools that move hospitality forward.
Let’s keep raising the bar, together.
