Tripbtoz is a “video-based OTA community service” where members can relive their past travels and share vivid travel experiences with others who may need inspiration for their next trip. Therefore, the videos uploaded to Tripbtoz should reflect and share your travel experiences. Therefore, videos uploaded to Tripbtoz must be related to sharing travel experiences. If the uploaded video does not meet the following guidelines, it may be excluded from ranking calculations.

a. The videos must be related to travel experiences, such as accommodations, restaurants, airlines, transportation information, locations, travel destinations, or general travel experiences, and should be based on accurate information.

b. Videos with themes that are too distant from travel experiences may be removed without notice.

c. Only content that you have personally filmed or produced can be uploaded.

Additionally, to ensure the sharing of authentic travel experiences, we recommend adhering to the following content upload standards:

a. It is recommended to upload videos in vertical format whenever possible.

b. If you have multiple videos shot at the same location, it is recommended to edit them into a single video before uploading.

These guidelines take effect for any content uploaded after the date of the upload guidelines announcement.

Examples of Videos Subject to Deletion

Please refer to the following examples when uploading videos, as they are provided as examples of videos that may be deleted. Even if a video is not included in the following categories, it may be deleted without prior notice if the Tripbtoz team deems it to be of low quality.

1. Duplicate Videos

Duplicate videos refer to those that contain identical content or information as another video.

a. Videos where the length has been extended or shortened from the original are also considered duplicates.
