This listing is for a business operating two YouTube channels in the travel and hospitality niches, active since May 2022. Both channels focus on informational content related to luxury and high-end travel and resorts. Together, they have built a combined subscriber base of over 45,000 and have demonstrated consistent year-over-year revenue and profit growth since inception. The majority of video traffic is driven by YouTube Search (approximately 65%) and Browse features (around 10%), with viewers primarily located in English-speaking countries. Videos typically range from 10–15 minutes in length and perform strongly, achieving average click-through rates of approximately 9% and an average view duration exceeding 40% of video length. The channels are monetized mainly by YouTube ads, with affiliate revenues providing some diversification (~10% of revenues). The channels publish between 10 and 20 videos per month, with the Seller dedicating approximately 15 hours per week to scripting and content ideation, while a team of freelancers manages most of the video editing and production. Much of the video content is sourced from official tourism media that permits redistribution, and the team takes great care to ensure that any additional material complies with YouTube’s fair-use guidelines, including transformative use, commentary-driven presentation, and limited clip length.
