Abstract
Today's marketing is critical for tours and travel agencies to raise awareness of their products. Video marketing
has grown in popularity as a result of widespread internet distribution. While many of these videos were created
purely for entertainment purposes, others have served as the fundamental building blocks of serious corporate

marketing strategies. However, the market performance of tours and travel agencies in Nairobi city county
exhibits a downward trend, necessitating adoption of online video marketing to enhance transparency. This study

moderating effect of firm characteristics on the relationship between online video marketing and market
performance of registered tours and travel agencies in Nairobi city county, Kenya. The study adopted a positivist

characteristics had a positive moderation effect on the relationship between online video marketing and market
performance of the registered tours and travel agencies in Nairobi city county, Kenya. However, the tours and
