Galleries are one of the most engaging ways for destinations to tell their story. They help potential visitors see your community through real experiences — from locals, creators, and travelers alike.
With flexible layouts, easy embeds, and options for both photos and video, CrowdRiff Galleries can elevate your website, campaigns, and storytelling in countless ways. Here are five creative examples from destinations putting them to work.
1. Turn Culinary Trails into Visual Stories
Visit California used UGC to power its Southern California Taco Tour, transforming a simple road trip guide into a mouthwatering gallery of local flavor. Galleries like this make travelers see, and taste, your destination before they arrive.
💡 Create galleries around themes like coffee crawls, brewery trails, or seasonal food festivals.
2. Spotlight Neighborhoods and Local Life
Explore St. Louis uses photo and video galleries to bring its neighborhoods to life, highlighting the personality and culture of places like Soulard and Central West End.
💡 Build galleries that showcase different districts or communities to inspire deeper exploration.
3. Bring Events and Campaigns to Life
For Polk County’s Burger Week, Visit Central Florida paired a CrowdRiff Map with galleries featuring participating restaurants — even using branded logos where photos weren’t available.
💡 Use galleries to promote limited-time campaigns, local events, or themed itineraries.
4. Keep Content Fresh with Community Submissions
Discover Northern Ireland connects its #MyGiantAdventure campaign to a gallery powered by real visitor submissions, refreshed automatically through CrowdRiff’s API feed.
💡 Encourage user submissions with hashtags or upload forms to keep your galleries dynamic and authentic.
5. Make a Visual Impact with Full-Width Layouts
Reading-Berks transformed their galleries into a full-width, editorial-style experience that grabs attention the moment visitors land on their site.
💡 Customize templates or use hero-style galleries to make a bold visual statement.
CrowdRiff Galleries are more than just a grid of photos, they’re a storytelling tool that helps destinations share authentic stories, highlight local perspectives, and inspire travelers to explore more.
