Navigating Hotel Partnerships in Travel Content Creation

In this episode of The Creator Passport Podcast, we're pulling back the curtain on what it’s really like to work with hotels as a full-time content creator. From dreamy 5-star resorts to boutique properties around the world, we’ve collaborated with over 30 hotels, and not every experience is as glamorous as Instagram makes it look.

We’re diving into:

• The real reason hotels don’t want to pay creators

• Why views doesn’t always convert — and what hotels care about most

• How to position your unique value as a creator (and actually prove ROI)

• The difference between working with boutique hotels vs. international chains

• What a typical “work” day on property actually looks like (spoiler: it's not a vacation)

• How to prep for unpredictable weather, tight timelines, and packed schedules

• The importance of being a five-star creator, not just a five-star guest

Plus, we’re sharing our favorite tips to make hotel collaborations smoother, more professional, and more profitable — from pitching to drone flying.
