“See the destination…before you see it!” that’s the tagline of the video travel website called GeoBeats.com and they do full justice to it.

If you want to virtually explore any destination and get a feel of the local milieu before actually traveling there, then GeoBeats has the solution.

The best thing about GeoBeats travel videos is that they are produced by experienced filmmakers from over 45 countries, which make up their network. The videos have interesting story angles and they successfully capture the local flavor of that particular destination. Most videos have a travel guide that takes you through the city / town in turn offering a barrage of information. It’s like taking a virtual guided tour which helps you plan the perfect trip. The GeoBeats videos are surely a notch higher than several travel videos that flood varied websites.

The site also offers the ‘GeoBeats Travel Player’ enabling individual websites / blogs to embed travel videos from the GeoBeats portfolio. To give you an example and the chance to sample the videos, I have embedded a clip on the city of Jaipur in India.

The player streams videos comfortably and offers hi-end video quality.

On the flip side, GeoBeats has limited destinations, for example I couldn’t find any videos on Caribbean Islands. But with constant additions to their library they may cover most destinations slowly but surely.

Video content is all set to emerge as mainstream content on the web in near future and websites like GeoBeats are making this shift happen.
