Vote Now on the Year’s Most Thrilling Adventure Travel Video

For the past week, we’ve been screening videos from the Adventure in Motion with Yahoo Travel contest, which Yahoo Travel launched with the Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA) to celebrate the role that creative storytelling plays in motivating travelers to pack their bags and seek adventure.

Nearly 150 short films were submitted, and delegates of the 2014 Adventure Travel World Summit, in Ireland, voted on the top film to inspire travelers. The first-place winner, “Pride of Namibia” was created for the World Wildlife Fund to tell the story of the country’s commitment to protect and live with wildlife.
