Super Reel Travel overview:

Users today have become accustomed to intuitive app interfaces that drive inspiration in many ways, TikTok being a prime example.

Travel is a legacy environment where customers are often underwhelmed by traditional travel sites with standard search boxes and static content, failing to inspire or capture the essence of destinations.

The opportunity is to bridge the gap between digital natives, who prefer searching through gesture-driven, social media-style videos, and the traditional travel agency model that hasn't embraced this dynamic short-form video capability.
