Find Travel Planning Projects on Upwork

About the Project

I’m an independent mobile app developer looking to hire a creative UGC video creator to produce engaging promotional content for a European travel planning app available on iOS and Android.

The app helps users plan journeys using public transport and other travel options, with additional alternatives when standard routes are not ideal.

The goal is to create authentic, high-quality short-form video content for TikTok, Instagram Reels and Facebook, encouraging viewers to discover and try the app.

What I Need

I’m looking for a creator who can:

* Appear naturally on camera and deliver an engaging introduction.
* Develop a clear script with a strong opening hook.
* Combine on-camera footage with genuine app screen recordings.
* Edit the video professionally, including captions, transitions and commercially licensed music.
* Create a clear call to action.
* Deliver a polished vertical video ready for organic social media and paid advertising.

I prefer authentic, relatable UGC content over generic corporate advertisements or fully AI-generated videos.

Project Scope

* Budget: $250 USD, fixed price.
* Initial deliverable: one complete UGC video.
* Duration: approximately 20–35 seconds.
* Format: vertical 9:16, 1080 × 1920.
* Language: English.
* Delivery: ideally within 1–2 weeks.
* Includes concept, script, filming, editing, subtitles and one revision.
* Includes commercial usage rights for organic social media and paid advertising for at least 12 months.

I would like to approve the script before filming begins.

Additional videos may be commissioned as separate paid work if the first collaboration goes well.

Ideal Freelancer

* Experience producing UGC content for mobile apps, travel or technology.
* Comfortable speaking naturally on camera.
* Good understanding of short-form advertising.
* Strong editing and storytelling skills.
* Able to work independently and communicate clearly.

Freelancers from all countries are welcome. This is a fully remote project.

When Applying

Please include:

1. Examples of relevant work from your existing portfolio.
2. Your fixed-price quote for one complete video.
3. Confirmation of whether paid advertising usage rights are included.
4. Your estimated delivery time.
5. Any relevant experience promoting mobile apps.

No custom samples or unpaid creative work are required during the application process.

All hiring, project communication and payments will take place through Upwork.

Additional product details and demonstration materials will be provided to the selected freelancer after the contract begins.

Thank you for your interest!

We're a remote startup team bringing 19 people to Chiang Mai for 6 nights in early December 2026 (12/1 to 12/8). We're looking for a local Thai assistant to plan and run our on-the-ground logistics so the team can focus on each other.

As a private client accommodation advisory firm. We are not a travel agency, not a booking platform, and not a property company. We sit in a space most firms do not occupy: a genuine advisory practice that matches discerning individuals and families with the right short-stay accommodation across London, New York, Miami, and the French Riviera. Our clients do not search. They call.

Nearly two decades, 3,000 bookings, and a client base built entirely through referral. The business works because the people running it understand the industry deeply: how luxury hospitality operates, how private travel decisions are made, and what the difference is between a good stay and the right one.

We are looking for an Operations Manager who comes from this world. Someone for whom the language of the luxury travel and hospitality industry is native, not learned on the job.

Octripus is an AI-powered platform that helps travel professionals turn their destination knowledge, recommendations, and existing materials into interactive digital travel guides they can share with clients or sell.

We're looking for 6 experienced travel professionals to join our paid Founding Product Experts program and help us evaluate and improve the platform through real-world use.

This is not a typical website testing project.

We want to understand how experienced professionals currently create travel guides, what tools they use, what challenges they face, and whether Octripus can become a valuable part of their workflow.

Your professional experience and independent feedback will directly inform our product development decisions.

Who we're looking for

You may be a:

- Travel Designer or Itinerary Specialist
- Travel Advisor or Travel Consultant
- Professional Tour Guide
- DMC or Tour Operator Specialist
- Travel Concierge
- Digital Travel Guide Creator

Your job title is less important than your actual experience.

Requirements:

- At least 6 months of professional experience creating travel itineraries, guides, or curated recommendations for clients.
- At least 8 client assignments involving guide creation or 8 completed client guides per month.
- Currently working with real clients and expecting relevant assignments during November.

What you'll do

Over four weeks, you'll work closely with our product team to evaluate Octripus using real client assignments.

Week 1 — Understanding your workflow

Show us how you normally create a travel guide, using your preferred tools. Then recreate an existing guide in Octripus and independently create a new one.

Week 2 — Identifying challenges

Create additional guides, test different workflows, and help us identify the biggest obstacles affecting speed, usability, and output quality.

Week 3 — Testing improvements

Work with updated versions of Octripus and evaluate whether released improvements make your guide creation process easier, faster, and more effective.

Week 4 — Independent evaluation

For a new real client assignment, freely choose whether to use Octripus or your existing tools. Share your experience and explain your decision in a final interview.

Time commitment & compensation

The program involves:

- 2 online research sessions per week (8 total).
- 1 independent guide creation assignment per week (4 total).
- Short questionnaires before and after relevant tasks.
- Screen sharing, time tracking, and feedback on your experience.

The planned commitment is approximately 16 hours over four weeks.

Compensation: $50/hour for agreed research time. Total compensation may reach $1,200 if additional hours are approved in advance and completed.

Payment is based on time worked, not on positive feedback or whether you decide to adopt Octripus.

Why join?

As a Founding Product Expert, you'll have the opportunity to:

- Test an emerging travel technology platform.
- Work directly with the Octripus product team.
- Influence product improvements based on your professional experience.
- Explore new ways to create and deliver digital travel guides.
- Receive compensation for your expertise and time.

We value honest feedback, including criticism. You are not expected to promote Octripus, publish testimonials, or switch to our platform.

All client information used during the program must be anonymized or shared with appropriate permission.

How to apply

Please answer the screening questions and briefly describe the type of travel guides or itineraries you currently produce.

Selected candidates will be invited to a 20-minute introductory call to discuss their experience and the program.

We're looking for professionals who actively create travel guides for clients, not occasional travelers or general app testers.

We look forward to learning from your experience.

I bring the vision, creativity, and work. I'm looking for a partner who believes in the potential of what I have built and wants to help it grow.

About the Project

I am the creator of Life Is a Journey, a travel content brand dedicated to inspiring people to discover beautiful destinations, plan memorable trips, explore Europe, enjoy family adventures, and make the most of their travel experiences.

Pinterest: https://pin.it/KCpLGa4T3

My current social media audience includes approximately 2,000 Instagram followers, 1,000 TikTok followers, and 3,000 Pinterest followers. I also have affiliate relationships with Amazon, Booking.com, Kiwi.com, and Viator.

I have been developing this project through my own financial investment, creativity, research, writing, and dedication. I believe it has the potential to grow into a sustainable digital business, and I am now looking for the right partner to help me take it to the next level.

What Makes My Work Different

My strongest quality is the way I envision and plan travel experiences.

I love discovering destinations, imagining the experiences people could have there, choosing the right places, connecting them into meaningful routes, and meticulously planning itineraries down to the details.

For me, a great journey is not simply a list of places to visit. It is a carefully designed experience that creates unforgettable memories for a lifetime.

I enjoy researching destinations, finding interesting places and experiences, putting together detailed itineraries, and transforming my ideas and travel knowledge into content that inspires and helps others.

This creative vision, together with my writing style and attention to detail, is at the heart of Life Is a Journey.

I want to continue developing this work, reaching more people, and creating a brand that offers genuine value to travelers while also becoming commercially successful.

What I Have Already Invested

I have already invested a significant amount of my own money, time, and energy into building this project.

My financial investment has included:

Website development and hosting.
A premium website plan and Yoast SEO.
Professional website design.
Nine months of working with a social media specialist to help develop my online presence.

Beyond these expenses, I have invested countless hours in research, travel planning, writing articles, creating content, and developing the brand's identity and direction.

I have made these investments because I believe in the potential of what I am creating.

The project already has a website, published content, a growing social media presence, and affiliate relationships that offer opportunities to generate revenue.

Now, I have reached the point where I need additional financial resources to continue developing the business, invest in advertising and promotion, expand my audience, and explore new revenue opportunities.

I am not starting from zero. I have built the foundations myself, and I am looking for a partner who sees the potential in those foundations.

The Partner I Am Looking For

I am looking for an investor-partner who appreciates my work, likes my writing style, understands the potential of travel content, and believes that the project could become something valuable with the right support.

You do not necessarily need to be a travel blogger or content creator. I am primarily looking for someone with an entrepreneurial mindset who is interested in investing in a creative business and helping it grow.

I would particularly welcome someone who brings business experience, fresh ideas, strategic thinking, and suggestions for developing the project.

I am open to discussing new directions, different monetization strategies, commercial partnerships, and opportunities I may not have considered. I believe that combining my creative strengths and travel-planning expertise with another person's financial resources and business perspective could be a powerful way to move forward.

I want a partner who respects my creative contribution while also being willing to exchange ideas, challenge assumptions constructively, and help identify the best opportunities for growth.

How I Envision the Partnership

The arrangement I have in mind is straightforward.

My contribution:

Creating content and writing articles.
Developing travel concepts and meticulously planned itineraries.
Managing the creative direction and day-to-day work.
Continuing to develop the website, content, and brand.
Implementing agreed strategies to grow the business.

Your contribution:

Providing an agreed financial investment to support the next stage of development.
Helping finance advertising, promotion, audience growth, and other agreed business initiatives.
Bringing business ideas, strategic suggestions, or relevant experience to help identify growth opportunities, if you wish.

Our shared objective:

To develop Life Is a Journey into a sustainable and profitable business, with you receiving an agreed percentage of the profits generated in return for your investment.

The investment amount, use of funds, profit-sharing percentage, and respective responsibilities would be discussed openly and documented in an agreement before we begin.

I am interested in a genuine, long-term partnership built on transparency, realistic expectations, mutual respect, and a shared interest in growing the business.

Where the Business Could Go

There are several opportunities worth exploring together:

Growing organic website traffic through SEO and Pinterest.
Investing selectively in paid advertising and content promotion.
Expanding affiliate revenue through relevant travel products, accommodation, flights, tours, and experiences.
Developing collaborations with hotels, tourism boards, destinations, and travel brands.
Exploring sponsored articles, promotional campaigns, and other commercial partnerships.
Expanding the content offering and developing additional ways to monetize the brand.

These are potential directions, not guaranteed outcomes. I would welcome a partner who can help evaluate which opportunities deserve investment and how to use the available resources effectively.

Who Might Be the Right Person?

Perhaps you are an entrepreneur, an investor, or someone who enjoys recognizing potential in projects before they reach their full size.

Perhaps you appreciate travel, storytelling, digital publishing, or businesses built around original content and creativity.

You might have the financial resources to support the project but prefer to work with someone who is passionate about the subject and already committed to doing the work.

You do not have to share every interest I have. What matters is that you recognize the value of the project, respect what I bring to it, and see an opportunity worth exploring together.

I am not looking for someone to hire me, manage my work, or take over the creative side of the business.

I am looking for someone who believes in what I am building, is willing to invest in its potential, and wants to share in the results we create together.

Let's Talk

If Life Is a Journey interests you, I would love to hear from you.

Please introduce yourself, tell me what you find interesting about the project, and share any ideas you might have for its development. I would also be interested in discussing the level of investment you might consider and the type of partnership you envision.

I believe that the right combination of creativity, dedication, financial support, and business thinking can open up opportunities that would be difficult to pursue alone.

I bring the vision to imagine the journey, the dedication to plan it meticulously, and the creativity to share it with others. I am looking for the right partner to help turn that vision into a growing business—and share in the success we build together.

Do you dream about faraway places?

Do you lose hours reading about a camp in the Okavango or a nomad family in Mongolia? Do people come to you when something needs to be done, and done properly? Then read on. We’re seeking a detail-oriented Executive Assistant to support a luxury travel business. You will manage calendars, coordinate travel arrangements, handle client communications, and assist with day-to-day administrative tasks. The ideal candidate is organized, proactive, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment. Experience supporting high-end clients or travel-related operations is a plus. This is a part-time, long-term opportunity for someone who can maintain professionalism, reliability, and strong communication


About us

We're a luxury travel company designing private journeys for a small circle of families from India, the Gulf and beyond, to some of the most extraordinary corners of the world: gorillas in Rwanda, reindeer herders in Mongolia, private islands in the Indian Ocean.

A rare opportunity

This is a chance to get inside the world of ultra-luxury travel, a world very few people ever see from the inside. You'll work directly alongside the founder, not three levels below them. You'll see how journeys to some of the most remarkable places on earth are imagined, negotiated and brought to life, and you'll be part of making it happen from day one.

As the company grows, so will you. The right person will grow with us into a role with real responsibility and travel.

Your adventure with us

One morning you're building a sheet that makes sense of twenty options. That evening you're helping a family on the other side of the world. No two days are the same, and you'll learn every part of how a luxury travel business runs.

We hire for personality and train for skill. We're looking for someone who is excited to work alongside the founder, wants to learn something new every day, and is detail-oriented, hungry for more, and flexible with both timings and tasks.

What you'll be part of

• Researching destinations, lodges and experiences most people have never heard of
• Building real relationships with our partners around the world
• Talking with our clients warmly and clearly, by email and WhatsApp
• Supporting journeys while families are out exploring the world
• Keeping everything beautifully organised in Google Sheets and Docs
• Saying yes to whatever the day brings, small or big

You might be the one if

• You're excited to work closely with a founder and learn every single day
• You're detail-oriented. You notice what others miss, and check names, dates and numbers twice before you press send
• You're hungry for more: more to learn, more responsibility, more of the world
• You're flexible with timings. Our clients travel across time zones, and journeys don't keep office hours
• You're flexible with tasks, happy to go from a spreadsheet to a client call to a research deep dive in one day
• You write and speak excellent English, and your emails are clear, warm and mistake-free
• You speak Tamil (a real plus)
• Travel lights you up, and you're endlessly curious about the world
• You're confident with people and know how to make a client feel looked after
• You're comfortable with Google Sheets, Docs and email

Experience

Experience in travel, tourism or hospitality is a huge plus. Beginners are welcome too. Everyone joins with a training period, so you'll learn how we work before you take the lead on anything.

Who this isn't for

• This isn't a corporate job, with fixed processes and a clear ladder
• It isn't for someone who wants a 9 to 5
• It isn't for someone who prefers to do only what's in the job description

If that sounds like freedom rather than a warning, you're who we're looking for.

What's in it for you

• Remote, from anywhere in India
• Learning directly from the founder
• A role that grows as the company grows, with travel along the way

• Post your own comments that spark engagement, such as questions, local tips, and upcoming events
• Help us stay conversational rather than promotional, which is what the platforms reward

• Responsive desktop and mobile layouts.

• Your approach: Briefly explain how you would approach designing a website for an AI-powered travel platform like us.

The tourism industry in Zanzibar continues to show resilience despite global economic pressures, and this slight increase in arrivals demonstrates that the island remains an attractive destination.

In April 2026, Zanzibar recorded an increase in international tourist arrivals, with a total of 38,554 visitors, marking a 3.8% rise compared to the 37,137 visitors in the same period last year. Despite this positive growth, the numbers reflect a 41.2% decline from the previous month, March 2026, when Zanzibar welcomed 65,581 tourists. This drop can largely be attributed to the seasonal fluctuations in tourism demand and the rising global travel costs, particularly due to the volatile fuel prices.

Europe remains Zanzibar’s top source of international visitors, contributing 20,371 tourists, or 52.8% of the total arrivals in April 2026. This trend highlights the continued popularity of Zanzibar among European travellers, who are drawn to its tropical climate, cultural heritage, and pristine beaches. The high volume of European tourists is expected to continue in the coming months as the island becomes a prominent destination for vacations and leisure tourism.

Following Europe, Africa is the second-largest contributor to Zanzibar’s tourism market, with 10,695 visitors accounting for 27.7% of the total arrivals. Asia also made a noticeable contribution, with 4,454 visitors (11.6%), followed by the Americas, which contributed 2,296 visitors (6.0%). Oceania, with 728 visitors (1.9%), remained the smallest contributor to Zanzibar’s tourism figures for the month.

The report also revealed that Germany led the individual country rankings, with 14.1% of total arrivals, followed by South Africa (10.1%), France (6.5%), Kenya (5.9%), and China (5.1%). These countries continue to be key markets for Zanzibar, contributing significantly to its tourism economy. The island’s appeal for cultural tourism, wildlife experiences, and beach resorts is a major draw for travellers from these regions

The future of Zanzibar’s tourism industry looks promising as the region continues to expand its infrastructure and develop new attractions. With the introduction of new direct flights, expanded hotel offerings, and improved transport networks, Zanzibar is well-positioned to attract even more international tourists in the coming years. The island’s tourism potential is immense, and it is expected to remain a key player in East Africa’s travel and tourism landscape.

Zanzibar’s tourism sector continues to thrive in the face of global challenges, as evidenced by the 3.8% increase in international arrivals in April 2026. While global factors such as fuel prices and aviation cost hikes have posed challenges, Zanzibar remains a highly sought-after destination, attracting visitors from Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas. With its ongoing efforts to diversify its tourism products and expand regional tourism, Zanzibar is poised to remain a top destination in the coming years. The island’s commitment to sustainable tourism, along with its continued focus on enhancing visitor welfare, ensures a bright future for its growing tourism industry.

Zanzibar has moved beyond being just a holiday destination. Over the past few years, it has become a serious place to invest or build a business, especially in tourism, property, and the services that support them.

Visitor numbers are rising, international hotel brands are committing long-term capital, and the island’s economy is becoming more structured and regulated. At the same time, it’s still early compared to more established Indian Ocean markets, which is where the opportunity sits.
