EAN Images

We all know an image is worth a thousand words so it’s no surprise that when shopping or booking a hotel the image of a property is key. In fact, research suggests that an image rates higher in importance than the star rating, customer reviews, the hotel brand or loyalty program of an accommodation*. An image allows you to not only communicate a more nuanced message but, more importantly it speaks to emotions and inspires the traveler, all of which drive conversion.

Here at EAN we’re laser-focused on providing our partners with rich, high-quality content. Whether it be an image of a property, guest room or of amenities, we work with our accommodation suppliers to ensure that compelling, high-quality images are linked to each individual accommodation. In fact, we aim to deliver at least 20 photos of the property, 4 photos per guest room type and 1 photo of the bathroom, per listing.

Did you know? Travelers are 150% more engaged on listings with more than 20 photos**

EAN’s image catalogue offers:

The power of images in driving conversion

Over 11 million property images

Over 6.5 million room images

Over 80% of our images are high res (larger than 1000x1000)

Over 65% of travelers say photographs are important in hotel booking decisions*

Our API automatically sorts all property and room images to ensure they are delivered in the most logical and impactful way for the traveler. For example, the hero image will be returned first, followed by the entrance,

lobby guest room, bathroom and so on. This gives the traveler a complete view of the property, grounds and amenities before going to more detailed images of rooms.

CaptionsAll of our images come with clear, precise captions. In fact, we have over 170 different caption categories that are delivered with our images to ensure that all of our

images are descriptive and captioned correctly. Some of these categories are listed below:

Captions are always delivered via our API along with the image. This helps the traveler instantly identify and compare images across properties.

The hero-image is often the first visual a visitor encounters. Its purpose is to represent an overview of what the property has to offer and is crucial in driving engagement and conversion. This is why we ask our accommodation suppliers to mark the best and

lead photo at both a property and room level. These images then become known as the hero images for an accommodation and are easily identifable through our Hero-Image Indicator in the API.
