Wow Tourists with Views! Showing Off Southern Alberta From the Sky

4 min read Category: Tourism

Let’s be honest, Southern Alberta is gorgeous! We’ve got everything from epic Rocky Mountains and cool, weird Badlands to wide-open prairies and beautiful river valleys. But how do you really show people how amazing it is so they actually pack their bags and visit Lethbridge and our surrounding areas?

One word (okay, maybe two): Aerial Shots!

Seriously, nothing grabs attention and sparks that “I wanna go there!” feeling quite like stunning photos and videos taken from a drone. At Coalbanks Creative, we love showing off our beautiful corner of the world from above. Let’s chat about why drone imagery is your secret weapon for boosting tourism around here.

Why Drone Shots are Perfect for Showing Off Southern Alberta:

Our region’s biggest selling point? How stunning it looks! Aerial photos and videos let you capture that beauty like nothing else:

  • Show Off ALL Our Awesome Landscapes: Southern Alberta has it all, and drones can capture the epic scale:

    • Those Mountains! Get those jaw-dropping shots of the Rockies that make people dream of hiking boots.
    • The Cool Badlands: Highlight the unique shapes and colours that make places like Dinosaur Provincial Park so otherworldly.
    • Big Sky Country: Show the beauty of our wide-open prairies, especially when the fields turn gold.
    • Winding Rivers: Capture the beauty of the Oldman River snaking through the valley near Lethbridge or our beautiful lakes from a perspective you just can’t get from the ground.
  • Make Our Landmarks Look Even Cooler: Aerial views add instant “wow” to our famous spots:

    • Waterton: Those turquoise lakes surrounded by mountains? Drone shots are pure magic and exactly what tourists want to see.
    • Dinosaur Provincial Park: Show just how vast and unique the Badlands are, hinting at the dino treasures within.
    • Head-Smashed-In: Capture the dramatic cliffs and show the scale of this incredible World Heritage Site.
    • Right Here in Lethbridge: Get unique angles of the High Level Bridge, the serene Nikka Yuko gardens, Fort Whoop-Up, or the Galt Museum, showing them off in their surroundings.
  • Tell a Better Story: Aerial shots aren’t just pretty; they add context:

    • Show How Things Connect: Help visitors understand how different attractions, towns, and roads link together.
    • Visualize History & Growth: Show how places like Lethbridge have grown or how the landscape has changed. It adds depth!
    • Make it More Engaging: Seeing the bigger picture makes a place feel more real and interesting, sparking curiosity.
  • Supercharge Your Marketing (Everywhere!): In a world full of pictures, amazing aerial shots cut through the noise:

    • Website Wow: Grab attention instantly with stunning aerial video or photos right on your homepage. (Just look at Travel Alberta or Tourism Lethbridge – they get it!)
    • Brochures That Don’t Get Tossed: Use eye-catching aerials in print to really show off what Southern Alberta offers.
    • Social Media Standouts: Drone shots are made for Instagram, Facebook, etc. They’re shareable, thumb-stopping, and get people talking!
  • Sharing Indigenous Culture Respectfully: Our region is rich with Blackfoot history. Aerial imagery can be a powerful tool, when used thoughtfully and in partnership, to:

    • Showcase Important Sites: Help people understand the connection between places like Head-Smashed-In or Writing-on-Stone/Áísínai’pi and the land itself.
    • Support Authentic Storytelling: Use visuals to complement the stories and experiences shared by Indigenous communities, always ensuring respect and collaboration.
