1. Do your research

Create an outline

Before you even start doing your research, it is extremely important to always make an outline for the entire article. Making a list of ideas or topics is necessary if you want your content to have a good flow and without clutter.

Doing research as an expert

You can write your content as an expert in the travel niche. However, if you present yourself as an expert, you have to prove yourself and explain why you know all those information you’re providing. You have to include data and statistics in your content to prove your point.

Using data and statistics throughout your content has a dual-purpose.

First, you are providing information from reliable sources. You will gain the trust of your readers because you are presenting a piece of content that is accurate.

Second, when you are using data and statistics from other sources, you are of course ‘linking out’ to those sources. This will have a positive impact on your content in terms of SEO in the long run.

Doing research as someone looking for answers

Another way to approach your research is to come off as a regular person looking for a solution to a problem. You could think of yourself as someone who wants to help a friend finds the best hotels in Hawaii or Budapest. Doing research this way is quick and simple. Answers are usually spread across the internet through forum posts and YouTube videos.

2. Write an amazing headline

Why do you need headlines that grab peoples attention?

A headline that turns heads or sparks someone’s interest is as important as the content itself. If no one clicks on your headline, then your just wasting time creating content.

Cosmopolitan magazine uses sexy headlines that entice people to read their content. If you’re an email marketer, the phrase you use in the subject line makes a big difference as to whether people will open your emails or not.

Likewise, you need to write catchy headlines so people will click on your webpage on Google’s search results. The point here is to get people to take that next step and read your content.

So how do you write headlines that are so appealing that people not only want to click through but read the rest of your content?

Tips on writing amazing headlines 

1. Headlines with 6 to 7 words perform better

According to Neil Patel , blog post titles that are too short or too long won’t do justice to your precious content.

Titles that are too short won’t be able to tell your readers upfront what your content is all about. On the same note, titles that are too long tend to be overwhelming to your readers. No one wants to click on a headline that looks like a long sentence.

2. Use adjectives within your headline

Adjectives can make your headline more attractive to your readers. Some of the adjectives you can use are “unbelievable”, “incredible”, “top”, “best”, etc. With adjectives, there’s a huge chance more people will want to click on your headline.

3. Add the current year within your headline

Although this may not be applicable to all of your posts, adding the current year within your headline will tell your readers that your content is updated or “fresh.” This strategy works better if your content is about “guides” or if it’s a “how to” article.

Surely you have read some of these in the search results, “updated 2020” or “best travel sites in 2020”. People will most likely click on a headline because it’s fresh. Who would want to read on outdated content?

4. Get to know your readers

You can start on getting to know your readers at the comments section on your post. There would always be someone who will leave a comment after reading a post. You can start on getting connections from there.

Once you get to know who your readers are, you’ll have an idea on how to create headlines that relates to them. You’ll have an idea of finding the best travel topics for your content.

If you’re a travel writer , you can ask your readers about the problems they encounter when they are traveling.

Content that provides a solution to a problem especially on a specific niche tends to get more clicks. Not only that, your readers might share your content on social media. This means more exposure for your content and more leads for your business.

3. Focus on the topic only 

When writing content for your travel business, it is best to focus on one topic or message. Considering that you already have the topic, the next step is to write the first sentence and your ‘answer paragraph’.

The first sentence

Your first sentence should contain the keywords that you want to rank for. You should cleverly insert those keywords in your first sentence where it fits naturally. Don’t insert keywords just for the sake of putting them in the first sentence.

Your first sentence should be either a single message or a question that needs an answer.

Answer paragraph

The ‘answer paragraph’ is just a quick summary that answers the question raised from your first sentence. Or it could be the solution to a specific problem. You only need three to four sentences for your ‘answer paragraph’ when you’re 

From there, you need to create a list of subheadings or subtopics to further expand your content while focusing on one single topic.

4. Grab reader’s attention

First impressions last

As the saying goes, “you only have one opportunity to make a great first impression.” Well, this is also true when it comes to writing content. Your introduction is that one opportunity.

If your introduction doesn’t capture all of your reader’s attention, then this will not motivate them to continue reading your content.

Luckily, there are some tactics you can use to captivate your readers using your opening sentence.

Opening sentences that grab the reader’s attention are often called ‘hooks’. There are several ways you to use this in content writing for travel websites.

One way is to ask a series of intriguing questions.

Notice the word ‘intriguing’ here. Don’t just ask random questions that don’t have a purpose. Likewise, do not ask your readers if they want to learn something. Also, don’t ask them if they want to hear a story.

Make your opening sentence so intriguing that leaves your readers wondering what in the world are you talking about.

Data and statistics

In addition, you could also share statistics involving numbers. Such as “57% of internet users talk to more people online than they do in real life.”

Other ways of creating a great ‘hook’ are using:

  • a surprising fact,
  • a super descriptive setting,
  • some catchy dialog,
  • a flashback, or
  • just diving right into the action.

Diving right into the action means giving your readers a short summary of your message.

Or a short paragraph with the first sentence that raises a question. And then two succeeding sentences that directly answer that question.

Of course, no matter how direct the answers are, two sentences aren’t enough to satisfy your reader’s curiosity. They will eventually continue reading the rest of your content.

An effective strategy in content writing for travel websites is trying to grab your reader’s attention. This will keep visitors reading until the end of your post, which is good for SEO. This will tell the search engines that your website’s content is helpful to internet users.

The longer your readers will stay on your website is one of the new ranking factors in SEO.

5. Write an engaging content that people are willing to share

Here’s why engagement is also an effective strategy when it comes to content writing for travel websites.

Do you spend time on Instagram? Facebook?

Well, you might have been clicking ‘LIKE’ on those photos, right?

But you don’t just ‘like’ those photos because they look nice. It’s also because you admire the people who uploaded them. You think you have a personal connection with them. You feel as if you are involved in their lives.

‘Liking’ their photos is like sending them a message that you like what they’re doing. You feel you’re rooting for them and you wish them to do well. You want them to keep going because you think they’re doing a great job. And you can’t wait to see what they’ll upload next.

On the other hand, you may follow a couple of professional photographers on Instagram but you don’t always like their photos. No matter how stunning those photos look, you seldom hit that ‘LIKE’ button.

It’s because you don’t know who they are and where they’re from. You don’t know what they want to do with their lives. You just know that they take good photos. But you have no reason to engage. Their photos aren’t giving you any value at all. Why would you give something back?

So try to have your content writing for travel websites on a more personal level. Something that makes your readers feel they are connected with you. Tell them a little about your life, your struggles as a travel writer, and what you’re doing at this point.

Here are the travel content ideas you can use.

When writing content, always try to develop a connection with your readers.

Here’s a sample sentence.

“I’m sitting here at the airport and thinking, why do other people’s luggage gets delayed or lost?”

“I did some research and here’s what I’ve found.”

This is like telling your readers that you’re also a traveler and you’re creating this content for them. You’re looking for a solution to a problem that many travellers face every day.

Again, the idea here is that you’re not coming as generic like the rest. You’re coming instead as somebody who has wondered the same thing. Somebody who looked around the internet to find the answers. You then put those answers together into one useful post.

But how do you create content that people are willing to share?

It’s all about the headline. Great content does affect how many social shares you’re getting. But it’s the headlines that drive people to share your content.

Neil Patel did some tests about headlines. He learned that 8 out of 10 people will read your headline. But only 2 out of 10 people will read the rest of your content.

How do you write headlines that get a ton of social shares?

You already know the tips to make an amazing headline. But here’s one last tip to make your headlines go viral.

Go to forum sites like Reddit and Quora and type in the keywords related to travel. They will show you some popular articles. This will give you travel content ideas for your next post.

Look for an article that has a list such as an article that breaks down 7 ways to do X, Y, Z within the travel niche. You can take that list and expand those 7 ways or topics through research. You can make those topics as subheadings for your new content.

6. Target keywords using Google Keyword Planner

Your content must always drive traffic to your website every time people do a search. This is where your keywords come in. But be sure to base those keywords from topics that can really target them.

Secondary keywords or long-tail keywords are as important as your primary ones. They give your content an even higher chance of getting found with every search.

You can use the Google Keywords Planner not just to help you find the keywords you can target. You can also do a ‘mix-and-match’ with your keywords as well. This is another way of looking for keywords variations you can use with your topic.

7. Optimize the content

Here are some quick tips on optimizing your content.

Optimize your title

Insert your keywords not just on your headline but also in the ‘title tag’. They should always be present in the ‘meta tags’ (or meta description) and the header tags as well. Header tags are the subheadings or subtopics of your content.

Remember to always use a title that grabs the attention of your readers. The title is the first thing they will see and if it’s enticing enough — they will keep reading.

Optimize your images

The one thing that would deter your customers the most is a slow-loading webpage. There are a lot of things you can do to increase the page speed with plugins but the biggest killer are images.

So resize your images and compress them. There are online tools for compressing and re-sizing such as TinyPNG and befunky.com.

Be direct with your writing

People don’t have to read fluff content to find what they want to find. Be clear and direct. Remember to tell them why they need your product or service and how it will benefit them.

Distribute your keywords to every part of your content; from the headline to your summary.

Put your primary keywords in the:

  • Headline (Heading 1)
  • Heading 2 and so on…
  • first paragraph

8. Use Yoast plugin for WordPress to improve SEO and readability

The readability for posts is a key factor for holistic SEO strategy. You probably already know about holistic SEO and how important it is to write quality content. Quality content needs to be original and relevant to your readers but it should also be easy to read.

What is content that is easy to read?  

A readable text is a text that is well structured. It should have an introduction, a body that conveys your message, and the conclusion. Within this bigger structure, the text needs to be divided up further into paragraphs that reflect your ideas and arguments.

These paragraphs need to precede with subheadings. That clearly states the content of each paragraph.

Furthermore, make sure to start each paragraph with a topic sentence. The topic sentence is the most important sentence of that paragraph. It will give the reader an idea of what the whole paragraph is about. The following sentences on that paragraph will then elaborate on that topic sentence.

In addition to these structural elements of your texts:

Structural elements

  • Subheading 1

You also should consider stylistic elements:

Stylistic elements

  • Go for short and sentences
  • Use transition words
  • Use simple words

Your texts should be pleasant to read. So whether it comes to your choice of words or sentence structures, go for short and clear ones, rather than long and convoluted.

Transition words

Write sentences that are not too long and that are clearly marked by transition words. Examples of transition words are “in contrast”, “In addition”, and “therefore”. Transition words give your readers direction when reading your content.

Finally, don’t go overboard with complicated terminology. Don’t stuff your sentences with long, hard-to-read words. Instead, use simpler words to achieve the same effect.

Why is readability extremely important for SEO?

Most importantly, you really want to focus on your audience, especially their reading experience. You want to write an article that is well-structured and pleasant to read. You want your readers to understand the message of your post quickly and without too much effort.

That way, you will not only entice readers to click-through from the search results to your website, but they will also be more likely to stay on your website.

Making your text more readable is not about dumbing down your content. It’s about making your posts as accessible as possible. It’s about avoiding unnecessary complexity in your writing.

You can still tackle complex issues on your post. But it’s the part of the writer’s job to breakdown complex ideas and make them clear and easy to understand.

And then there’s also Google’s ranking algorithms to consider.

Google is becoming smarter and smarter in how it evaluates websites. To determine the topic of the page, it will make use of the same factors that human readers use. For example, it will pay attention to the headings and subheadings to determine the topic of the page.

Another effective strategy in content writing for travel websites is readability. This can really help rank websites as well as provide a good reading experience. This is why Team Yoast added the readability analysis in the plugin. 

This analysis consists of various assessments that will check the structure of your content, as well as the various elements of your writing style.

Your content will get feedback with green, red, and orange bullet points. The colored bullet points will lead you to the areas of your content that still need improvement. That way, you can be sure you’ve got all the important points covered when it comes to the readability of your content.

9. Content length 

So, how long is the average length of a page or content should be?

Keep in mind that longer content always wins. The average Google first page result contains 1,890 words.

Gone are the days when we could rank for 300 words. At present, we need to have longer content. And by longer content doesn’t mean filling our them with random text.

You need to explore a topic with more depth so you can elongate that piece of content. That way you are thoroughly covering the topic at hand to make your piece of information better than your competitors.

Also, there should be no fluff. You should produce meat with a purpose so Google can say, “without a doubt, this is the best piece of content on the internet!”

10. Aim to convert

You’re working hard to get your website rank higher than your competitors. Your creating amazing content using the targeted keywords you want to rank for.

But sometimes, you’re too busy with SEO that you forgot why you’re here for in the first place — to convert visitors to become customers for your business.

What is a conversion?

Conversion can be in many forms such as call-to-action (CTA), landing pages, forms, pop-ups, and even live messaging. Your conversion process is how you can turn an anonymous visitor into a customer.

How to make your content help in conversion?

It is typically by offering something that visitors want. This offer should be something that is helpful to them.

‘Helpful’ as in helping them solve their problems. ‘Helpful’ in a way that they can better determine a solution. Usually, content offers are used for this exchange.

Your content should encourage visitors to take your offer. If someone is on your website and sees an option to download a free guide, they may be willing to give their information, like their email address. As long as they see value in it.

In conclusion, you don’t have to create content that does well in the search results. You just need to create content that teaches people to do well in their everyday lives. And this is by far — the best way to sell.

11. Edit your final content

When you think you’re done with all the research and you have put the pieces of your content in their proper arrangement, it is now time to proofread. You need to proofread and edit your content so you can be sure it is of high quality when it published.

Here are tips on proofreading:

  • Try to speak out loud about what you’re reading. This is a good way to spot errors in your writing.
  • Two heads are better than one. Try to have somebody read your draft. He or she might spot errors you have overlooked.
  • After proofreading your draft, try to walk away for a while and then go back and look again for errors.
  • When you think your draft is ready to go, run it on plagiarism checkers to make sure it doesn’t get any Copyscape hits.

Nowadays, travel websites with 500 word-content that are no longer dominating page 1 of Google’s search results.   For your content to perform better than your competitors, you need to create content that is in-depth.  Content that visitors find useful and that they are willing to share with their friends and families. That right there is the product of effective content writing for travel websites.

Talk to a travel content expert

Let's connect

Yeah, but...

I need writers who actually know what they’re talking about..

Ours do. They include digital nomads, former and current travel agents, hospitality experts , travel journalists specializing in affluent boomers and seniors, budget travel pros, avid world travelers, and, well...travel writers: people who have made a living traveling from place to place and writing about their adventures (and logistics) for travel guides, magazines, blogs, and other publications.

Our travel content creators are based all over the United States . All of them are skilled researchers who can write for your audience about any locale, but at times you might even be working with a writer who is from your area (or has traveled to your area) and can write from first-hand experience .

How does it work?

Writers in the travel industry find you and create custom content . Most clients get their first piece of content to review within 72 hours . (We’ve had layovers that felt longer than that.)

Review your drafts and accept, decline, or request unlimited edits at no extra cost. Get the full low down here .

HOW DO I TELL YOUR WRITERS WHAT I WANT?

You know your business best, but we’ve built a system to quickly and efficiently bring our writers up to speed. Verblio’s onboarding and content request processes help you communicate intent, audience, voice, and personality.

Do I pay per article?

You build a monthly plan with flexible credits based on the content writing services you need —including number of articles, word length, and any optional services. Verblio subscriptions are flexible, month-to-month , round-trip plans with no contracts required. See pricing.

Can you write for foreign audiences?

We an create content in 6 different types of English even though all Verblio travel writers are U.S.-based.

IS IT ALL JUST TOP 10 LISTS AT A PARTICULAR DESTINATION?

It’s whatever you want it to be , and sometimes that is a top 10 list—or top seven or top six, like these two posts about unique places to spend a family Christmas vacation. But there’s more. You might need a post highlighting tips for staying safe on a Brazilian beach. Here’s one about why you need travel insurance for several different types of trips.

Our travel content writers have covered it all : city/area history and folklore, winter travel safety, traveling with kids or pets, how to start a travel blog, travel photography, car and limo rental, group travel, medical tourism, travel itineraries, accommodation apps, destination weddings, travel trends, budget travel, and luxury travel , among a wide variety of “best of” showcases: breweries, restaurants, hiking trails, winery tours, museums, parks, historical sites, festivals, ice cream shops, hotels, spas, and more.

I NEED UP-TO-DATE MATERIAL.

Understandably so. Travel information changes quickly: attraction hours and prices change, restaurants open and close, things happen. Our writers do their research and submit the most accurate, timely material possible at the time of writing.

The best blogs are a mix of timely and evergreen content—we’re happy to meet your requests for material that can be a reference for your audience for years to come, as well.

WHERE DO YOUR WRITERS GET THEIR INFORMATION?

It depends, of course, on the subject. They might reference websites for city or state tourism, local attractions and dining options, airlines and bus routes, tourism studies (the U.S. Travel Association, the Journal of Travel Research, etc.), news outlets, and more.

You may mention specific sources you want to use for a particular request. If you have any competitors you want to make sure the writers do not link to, we recommend you list those most top-of-mind.

WILL THE CONTENT BE ORIGINAL?

It has to be. Our writers will go off the beaten path for you as a matter of personal pride and integrity: no one wants to write the same thing someone else has already written. Even if it’s on a common travel topic (packing checklists, staying healthy on vacation, best beaches) or a popular destination (New York City, Disney World, the beach), Verblio writers look for a fresh way of talking about it that stays true to your brand.

Furthermore, we are TSA up in here when it comes to plagiarism: we have a built-in checker to ensure nothing plagiarized is submitted to you .

WHERE’S YOUR NEXT VACATION?

We live in Colorado—this is the vacation. (But probably the Bahamas. Or maybe South Africa. Indonesia is nice this time of year, isn’t it?)

Travel Website Content Key Ingredients

April 20, 2023

Content Writing For Travel Websites

Are you tired of writing travel content that fails to attract readers?

Does your website struggle to stand out among the sea of competitors in the travel industry?

If you're nodding your head in agreement, then you're not alone.

In the world of online travel writing, creating engaging and informative content that resonates with your audience can be a challenging task. With so many travel websites competing for attention, it's easy to get lost in the crowd.

But fear not, because with the right ingredients, you can craft content that not only stands out but also drives traffic and conversions.

In this blog, we'll discuss the 10 key ingredients you need to create compelling content for your travel website.

So, whether you're a seasoned travel writer or just getting started, this blog will equip you with the knowledge and skills to make your content shine.

Let's get started on the journey to creating exceptional content writing for travel websites!

1. Captivating Headlines

The first element of travel writing that can help you connect with your readers is a captivating headline.

Your headline should be attention-grabbing , informative, and relevant to your content. It should entice your readers to click on your article and read more.

Some examples of great travel headlines include "10 Reasons Why Tokyo Should Be Your Next Travel Destination" or "A Foodie's Guide to Eating Your Way Through Italy."

2. Description of Places and Experiences

Another essential element of travel writing is a detailed description of the places and experiences you've encountered.

You want your readers to feel like they're right there with you, so use vivid language to describe the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of your destination.

Take your readers with you on a journey and make them feel like they're experiencing everything alongside you by making your content authentic with these details.

3. Use of Sensory Details

Incorporating sensory details is another powerful tool for travel writers.

By using sensory language, you can help your readers imagine themselves in the places you're describing. You can use words that appeal to all five senses, such as the salty smell of the sea, the warm sun on your skin, the crunch of snow underfoot, the taste of local cuisine, and the sound of bustling crowds.

Sensory language helps transport your readers to the location you're writing about and makes them feel like they're experiencing it firsthand.

For example, instead of saying "the beach was beautiful," try saying "the soft white sand felt warm between my toes, and the salty ocean breeze carried the sound of seagulls overhead."

4. Personal Narratives

One of the most effective ways to connect with your readers is by sharing personal narratives.

Travel writing is all about your personal experiences, so don't be afraid to share your thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Share your ups and downs, your challenges and victories, your fears and surprises.

By creating personalized content , you'll create a connection with your readers that goes beyond just the destination.

5. Unique Perspectives

Offering a unique perspective on a destination or experience can also help you connect with your readers.

Whether it's a hidden gem that most tourists miss or a different way of experiencing a popular attraction, providing a fresh take on things can make your content stand out.

Share your insider knowledge or your unconventional approach to travel, and your readers will appreciate your authenticity. Another way to offer a unique perspective on a destination or experience is by delving into its lesser-known history or culture.

By sharing stories and insights that are not typically found in guidebooks, you can give your readers a deeper understanding of the place they are visiting.

For instance, you could explore the origin of a local festival or highlight the contributions of a little-known artist to the city's art scene. This kind of insider knowledge can make your content more engaging and memorable for your audience.

6. Cultural Insights

Travel writing is also an opportunity to share cultural insights and promote cross-cultural understanding.

By learning about and sharing the customs, traditions, and beliefs of the places you visit, you can help your readers gain a deeper appreciation for other cultures.

Share the history of the places you visit, highlight local customs, and showcase the diversity of our world.

7. Local Recommendations

Providing local recommendations is another way to connect with your readers. People love insider tips and recommendations, so share your favorite local restaurants, cafes, bars, and attractions.

Give your readers an authentic local experience, and they'll thank you for it. You can also recommend local events and festivals that are upcoming in your area. Whether it's a music festival or a food fair, people love to know what's happening around them.

Another great idea is to suggest lesser-known places of interest that are off the beaten path. This could be a hidden hiking trail or a unique boutique that only locals know about.

By sharing these hidden gems with your readers, you're not only providing valuable information but also encouraging them to explore and discover something new.

8. Historical Context

Adding historical context to your travel writing can also help you connect with your readers. Share the fascinating stories behind the places you visit, the people who lived there, and the events that shaped their history.

By adding historical context, you'll give your readers a deeper understanding of the places you visit. In addition, historical context can also help readers appreciate the significance of the landmarks and monuments they come across during their travels.

For example, when visiting a medieval castle, providing historical context could help readers understand the role it played in the surrounding community and the battles that might have taken place there.

Similarly, when exploring ancient ruins or archaeological sites, sharing the historical significance of those sites can help readers visualize what life was like for the people who once inhabited the area.

9. Humor and Wit

Finally, don't forget to add a little humor and wit to your travel writing.

Whether it's a funny anecdote or a witty observation, adding some levity to your content can make it more enjoyable to read.

Travel is an adventure, and adventures are full of surprises, so don't be afraid to share the humorous moments along the way.

10. Call to Action

Every piece of content should have a call to action, and travel writing is no exception.

Encourage your readers to take action based on your writing, whether it's booking a trip, trying a new restaurant, or learning more about a destination. Your call to action should be clear, concise, and relevant to your content.

Travel writing is a powerful form of storytelling that can transport your readers to different destinations and cultures. By incorporating the 10 elements of travel writing discussed above, you can create content that is engaging, informative, and memorable.

So whether you're a seasoned travel writer or an aspiring one, remember to use captivating headlines, sensory details, personal narratives, unique perspectives, cultural insights, local recommendations, historical context, humor and wit, and a clear call to action. With these elements, you can connect with your readers and inspire them to explore the world.

If you're an aspiring travel writer, don't be afraid to start small. Write about your own experiences, share your thoughts and feelings, and practice incorporating the 10 elements of travel writing into your content.

With time and practice, you can hone your skills and become a great travel writer yourself.

How to write appealing travel website content.

Rik van den Brink

  • September 6, 2023

Write appealing travel content

Finding your travel expert voice

In the world of travel website content, keeping a balance between serving your target audience and search engines is essential for the success of your travel business. Your dream customers should always come first, but it doesn’t mean you should neglect Google.

While your ultimate goal is to meet the needs and interests of your dream customers, search engines play a significant role in getting your website content discovered. Travellers seek your expertise when planning their journeys, so it’s important to find your travel expert voice.

Search engines can help your content reach a larger audience, making your expert advice more accessible. To achieve this, you should optimise your website content.

However, always keep in mind that your content should be customer-first. Your travel expert voice is what builds trust and loyalty among your audience. It’s the genuine connection you establish by addressing their travel interests, needs, and worries.

In essence, this article guides travel businesses in achieving a balance between satisfying Google and serving your dream customers need for valuable travel insights.

Below, we’ll provide 7 practical tips to help you strike that balance effectively.

7 tips on how to write appealing travel website content

Next, we’ll give you 7 tips on how to write appealing travel website content. Use the links below to learn more about a specific tip directly.

  • Consider your buyer persona
  • Define your goal
  • Keep it simple, stupid
  • Visualise your content
  • Write lengthy texts
  • Use outgoing and internal links
  • Strategically place keywords

1. Consider your buyer persona

To start, you should always prioritise understanding your buyer persona’s interests. For instance, if your travel business specialises in trips to Tanzania, it’s safe to assume that your target audience is already well-acquainted with the country’s highlights. However, this is where your expertise shines – by revealing the hidden gems and extraordinary experiences that sets your business apart from the competition.

Consider your buyer persona

2. Define your goal

Before you start writing, it’s essential to define a clear goal for your website content. Avoid creating content just for the sake of it. Instead, consider what you intend your (potential) customers to gain from it. Equally important, what are the benefits for your business? Goals for your content can be:

  • Sharing valuable knowledge with your existing audience
  • Expanding your reach to engage with a new audience
  • Providing comprehensive answers to questions
  • Promoting and showcasing your services effectively

By defining your content goals, you not only provide clarity to your writing process but also ensure that your content serves a purpose, both for your audience and your business.

3. Keep it simple, stupid

The age-old K.I.S.S. principle was created in the ’60 but remains as relevant today as ever. This principle states the idea that systems perform best when they have simple designs. In the best-case scenario, your website content is easily comprehensible to every reader. Consider the following tips to keep your content simple:

  • Write in short and straightforward sentences
  • Break your content in easily digestible paragraphs
  • Incorporate descriptive subheadings
  • Create lists to organise and present information

By complying to the K.I.S.S. principle, you improve the accessibility and appeal of your travel content.

Content for humans and search engines

4. Visualise your content

Use visual imagery in your website content whenever you can. Visuals not only capture attention but also make your content stand out. As a travel business, you have an easy opportunity to use beautiful imagery from the destinations you offer. Also, it’s easier for people to remember things if you visually demonstrate it to them. Consider integrating the following into your content:

  • Photos that showcase your destinations
  • Videos that provide immersive experiences
  • Illustrations that clarify concepts or processes
  • Informative charts and graphs to support data-driven points

By embracing visual elements in your travel content, you not only make it more engaging but also improve its memorability, leaving a lasting impression on your readers.

Visualise your content

Besides drawing attention, visualising your content helps your rankings in the search engine. Google considers visit duration as a ranking factor. People tend to stay longer on a page when it’s visually appealing. Optimising your images for search engines contributes to this further.

5. Write lengthy texts

The length of your website content plays a crucial role in its performance, especially on platforms like Google. o rank well in search results, aim for a minimum of 500 words. However, you have a better chance of ranking well with texts that exceed 1000 words or more. Yet, longer texts demand more from you as an author.

Do not write more, just because you want to surpass the 1000 words. If a text is poorly written, it won’t engage readers, and thus will not rank well in Google. Whenever writing a lengthy text, think about the K.I.S.S. principle (tip 3).

6. Use outgoing and internal links

Incorporating links in your content benefits both your target audience and search engine visibility. By using outgoing links (linking to other websites), you provice visitors with information that is relevant to your content. Besides this, it helps Google understand better what your content is about, which can boost your ranking. Consider this as an opportunity to link to partner websites, further strengthening collaborations.

Internal links (within your own website) serve to guide visitors to additional, relevant information on specific topics or lead them to revenue-generating pages Also, it helps Google understand the structure of your websites, which in its turn boosts your rankings.

By strategically using both outgoing and internal links, you can improve the user experience, strengthen your content’s authority, and increase your website’s overall visibility in search engine results.

7. Strategically place keywords

Writing website content around keywords is extremely important. There are a lot of free keyword research tools you can use to increase the ranking of your content. Once you’ve determined your keywords, you should strategically place them within your content. While the main body of your text is a natural location, consider incorporating them into the following elements:

  • Meta description
  • Images alt and title tags
  • Opening paragraph

Not only is this useful for search engines, your target audience also profits from it. By matching keywords people already search for, placing them strategically helps them recognise your content offers as exactly what they are looking for.

Don’t forget to analyse your data

If you are dedicating time and effort in improving results for your website content, don’t forget about analysing your website and search data . Without analysing the data, optimising your website and business strategy becomes a shot in the dark.. After all, how do you know if your strategy works if you don’t measure the results?

By regularly analysing your data, you gain valuable insights into your content’s performance, audience behavior, and the impact of your strategies. This information allows you to make informed decisions, refine your approach, and enhance your travel content and business strategy for better results.

KISS originally meant Keep it simple, stupid. But today most people actually use it in the sense of Keep it simple and sexy.

' src=

How do I create and place internal links in my website?

' src=

This depends on the CMS of your website, but is usually pretty straightforward. Most website text editors have a ‘link icon’ you can use the add a hyperlink to your text. For an example of how to add a link in WordPress, please see: authormedia.com/how-to-add-a-hyperlink-to-wordpress/ .

I’m still confused about finding key words to optimize my content!? Give ‘ key words’ examples say on cultural tourism in Uganda? Thanks

You can use Wordstream for inspiration for example: tools.wordstream.com/fkt?website=culture+uganga . Also we’ll be elaborating on keyword research in the course ‘8.2: Find relevant topics’! Some topics however, might be too specific to find good keyword data for. For those topics we also describe other ways to find out what people are searching for.

Empowering! We have work to do! I like the KISS idea and keeping it stupid! Very good technique that draws attention to web visitors. Remember as tour operators we are here to manage stress!!

I also like the idea of sharing videos, images this allows a sneak-peak of your potentials customers in what type of niche you are offering.

Thanks Team!

Hi Harriet,

Giving potential customers a peak into your tours for sure is a great way to promote your business! As tour operators you have the possibility to create great and inspiring content!

Travel article writing is a form of content writing that can help you attract, inform, and inspire your target audience. Whether you want to showcase your destinations, services, offers, or stories, travel article writing can help you connect with your potential customers and increase your brand visibility.

The global online travel market size was valued at USD 795.1 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.1% from 2021 to 2028. While many travel companies failed to be a part of such rapid growth, there is one that took advantage of powerful travel article writing to grow their business in a short period.

Airbnb launched its own magazine, Airbnb Magazine, in 2017, which features stories from hosts and travellers around the world. It allowed Airbnb to gain loyal subscribers who were interested in such experiences. 

Moreover, Airbnb saw a significant revenue bump after the launch of its magazine. Due to its real value-adding properties and gorgeous aesthetics, the magazine has won several awards for its design and content and has a circulation of over 1 million.

1. Practical Niche-Specific Research for Travel Article Writing

How to research for writing travel articles | Travel article writing tips and tricks

Let’s say you are a travel company that offers customized tours to Japan. You want to write an article about the best places to visit in Tokyo during cherry blossom season. How would you do your research?

a) First, identify your target audience and their pain points, goals, interests, and preferences:

• Google Analytics – to find which page of your website your audience relates to the most and what bounces them off your website.

• Different SM Insights – Behaviour of your social media followers on different posts related to Japan & Tokyo.

• SurveyMonkey – To understand your email subscribers’ CTRs, interests, and successful email campaigns.

• Google Trends/BuzzSumo – popular or trending topics in the travel niche related to Tokyo & Cherry Blossom.

b) Now you can collect the right information for travel article writing:

• Wikipedia – To collect credible data on Japan’s history, culture & attractions. (Check the reference section to ensure the data is reliable.)

•  TripAdvisor – for experts’ opinions, people reviews & recommendation places & hotels in Tokyo.

•  Lonely Planet – for travel guides on how to travel more efficiently & economically.

• Instagram/Pinterest – for visual inspiration or user-generated content on Tokyo’s cherry blossom spots.

c) Finally, organize everything in one place. Some widely used tools are:

If you don’t want to invest your time into writing travel articles yourself, you can always outsource to us at Content Whale . 

2. The Right Way of Content Writing for Travel Companies (ft. Funnel Model)

Content Writing for Travel Companies through storytelling | Tips to travel article writing

One of the most important aspects of travel article writing is storytelling. Storytelling increases the likelihood of readers remembering the information. According to a Stanford study , people are 22 times more likely to remember a fact when it is embedded in a story, rather than presented as a raw data point. 

Additionally, storytelling can help you convey your message, and showcase your brand personality, and persuade your readers to take action.

But how do you tell a good story in a travel article? One of the methods you can use is the funnel model. The funnel model allows you to structure your story from broad to specific, general to personal, and abstract to concrete. The funnel theory consists of four stages: hook, overview, details, and call-to-action.

a) Hook: It’s the first sentence or paragraph of your travel article that should be able to hook your audience, alluring them to read more. The hook can be a question, a quote, a statistic, a fact, a joke, a story, or anything else that sparks curiosity or interest. 

A dramatic hook is one of the most powerful hooks in travel article writing. However, a ‘ Do-you-know’ bit or a rhetorical question also works with almost the same efficacy.

examples of travel articles | Travel Article Writing Tips

b) Overview: The overview is the second part of your article that gives the reader an idea of what the article is about and why they should care. The overview can be a summary, a thesis statement, a problem statement, a benefit statement, or anything else that explains the purpose or value of your article.

Examples of travel articles | Tips for writing travel articles For example: “Cherry blossom season is one of the most popular times to visit Japan. It’s a time when the country transforms into a pink wonderland of flowers and festivities. However, with so many options and attractions in Tokyo alone, it can be hard to decide where to go and what to do. That’s why we’ve created this guide for you. In this article, we’ll show you some of the best places to see cherry blossoms in Tokyo, as well as some tips on how to make the most of your trip.”

c) Details: The details are the third part of your article that provide the main information, evidence, or arguments that support your overview. The details can be facts, figures, examples, anecdotes, quotes, or anything else that adds depth and credibility to your article.

Examples of travel articles | Writing travel articles tips For example: “One of the most iconic places to see cherry blossoms in Tokyo is the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. This park covers 144 acres and features more than 1,000 cherry trees of different varieties. You can enjoy a picnic under the trees, stroll along the paths, or visit the greenhouses and museums. The park is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and costs 500 yen (about $5) to enter.”

d) Call-to-action: The call-to-action is the final part of your article that tells the reader what to do next. The call-to-action can be a link, a button, a coupon, a phone number, an email address, or anything else that encourages the reader to take action.

Examples of travel articles | Content Writing for travel companies For example: “Ready to experience the magic of cherry blossom season in Tokyo? Book your customized tour with us today and get a 10% discount on your first trip. Just fill out this form, and we’ll get back to you with a personalized itinerary and quote.”

3. SEO Content Writing for Travel Companies

There is no doubt that SEO improves your website’s visibility and ranking on search engines. It helps creating content that is relevant, useful, and engaging for your target audience, as well as optimized for search engines.

According to a study by BrightEdge , organic search accounts for 53% of all website traffic. This means that more than half of your potential customers are reaching out to you from search results. Hence, SEO content writing is highly important for your travel company.

How do you write SEO content for travel companies? Here are some tips and best practices to follow:

• Keyword density (1-2%)

• Meta Tags (Insertion of keywords)

• Mobile Optimization (Average 50% of users are mobile users)

• Image Size (As small as possible to load faster)

• Image Alt Text (Relevant to images and, if possible, keyword insertion)

• Snippets (Brief description of the topic)

• FAQs (Relevant to the target audience)

4. Travel Article Writing & Tourism Article Writing

Travel Article Writing & Tourism Article Writing What is the difference between travel article writing and Tourism article writing

Travel article writing is more focused on the personal experiences, opinions, and emotions of the writer or traveler. Tourism article writing focuses more on the factual information, features, and benefits of a destination or service.

Differences between travel article writing & tourism article writing:

a) Travel article writing:

• More subjective, creative, and narrative

• Uses storytelling techniques such as anecdotes, dialogue, sensory details, humor, or suspense to engage the reader’s attention and imagination.

• Uses the first-person point of view (“I”) to share the writer’s perspective and personality.

b) Tourism article writing: 

• More objective, informative, and persuasive

• Uses data-driven techniques such as statistics, facts, examples, quotes, or testimonials to establish credibility and authority. 

• Uses the third-person point of view (“they” or “it”) to present a neutral or professional tone.

How can travel brands leverage both types of content writing? By using them for different purposes and audiences. 

Travel article writing can inspire, entertain, and connect with potential customers looking for travel ideas or inspiration. For example:

• You can use travel article writing to showcase your brand’s unique selling proposition, such as personalized tours, local guides, or cultural immersion.

Tourism article writing can be used to inform, educate, and convince potential customers who are looking for travel information or solutions. For example:

• You can use tourism article writing to showcase your brand’s competitive advantages, such as its prices, discounts, or guarantees.

5. Use of Visual Elements While Writing Travel Articles

Importance of Visuals in travel articles | Content Writing for travel companies

Visual elements are an essential part of travel article writing. Visual elements can help you attract and retain the reader’s attention, enhance your message, and increase your conversion rate.

How can travel brands use visual elements while writing travel articles? Here are some tips and best practices to follow:

a) Use of high-quality and relevant visuals for writing travel articles:

• Can include images, videos, infographics, maps, charts, graphs, or icons.

• Clear, sharp, original, authentic, and diverse. 

• Use tools like Unsplash, Pixabay, Pexels, Freepik, etc. for royalty-free images or videos. 

• Use tools like Canva or Piktochart to create your own infographics or charts.

• Illustrate your points, provide evidence, or evoke emotions. 

b) Incorporate your branding elements in your travel articles:

• Find the right colors, use tools like Coolors, Adobe Color, etc.

c) Finally, optimize your articles for SEO & performance:

• Use keywords in your file names, alt texts, captions, and titles. 

• Right image formats, sizes, and compression. 

• To reduce file size, use tools like TinyPNG, Compressor.io, etc.

The Ultimate Guide: How to Write a Travel Blog

The Ultimate Guide: How to Write a Travel Blog

If you’re passionate about traveling and travel frequently, you could actually monetize if you write travel blogs. Some people travel the world and make a living out of it. They visit new places, make new experiences, share information, and get paid for it. However, blog writing on travel starts way before you begin to write.

When you think of visiting a place, you have to research the famous places you are going to visit, where you are going to stay, new experiences that you can try there, etc. Doing your homework beforehand about the place can save you a lot of time and energy while exploring the location and getting a better experience.

How to Write Travel Blogs?

Create a list of ideas.

The ideas should focus on specific destinations and the places you have visited. The process of blog writing on travel must start by preparing a content plan that has a list of ideas and topics that suffice for a month minimum.

Creating content requires brainstorming and finding topics that will drive thousands of readers and ensure that there is something new for the writer to talk about.

The content should be fresh but different from what readers might find on the internet. You should use analytical tools and their insights to choose the trending topics that work well for your blog.

Research and choose the type of blogs you would like to write and what the readers would like to read. You could do listicles, write travel blogs, and guides, write about your city, things to do in lists, suggest itineraries, travel blogging tips, interviews, etc. There are many options when it comes to the kind of content you would want to put out in your travel blog.

Prepare an editorial calendar

An editorial calendar for content marketing purposes helps you research, write and publish blog posts according to the timeline prepared by you.

This will help you set a frequency of blogs you will publish and ensure consistency. Irrespective of how frequently you publish a blog, always provide your readers with quality over quantity. Good quality blogs and consistency will always help you expand your readership.

Keyword research

Keyword research is very important before you start blog writing on travel. Various tools can help you research relevant keywords, related keywords, and topics for a blog.

You have to include these keywords in your blog so that they rank high on search engines. These tools help you with search engine optimization for your blog posts and help you draw the right target audience for your blog pages. The benefits of using keyword research tools are:

● Competitive analysis

● Improves SEO metrics that include web page traffic and search engine ranking

● Create personalized keywords for your blog

● SEO development

● Build an engaging audience

Prepare an overview of the blog

Prepare an overview of the blog before you start writing. It must include an introduction, subheadings that express the subjects that the blog covers, and a conclusion that summarizes the important aspects of the blog.

An overview of the blog’s main points not only helps the writer write better by segregating ideas but also helps the reader understand the context of the blog before reading the entire bit.

There are times when a reader is looking for specific information, and instead of reading the full blog, they might just want to jump to the section that provides them with the relevant information.

From a writer’s perspective, creating an overview and writing section-by-section can help them focus on individual sections instead of the whole blog. This way, the blog focuses on the topic and does not include any fluffs in writing.

Always proofread and edit before you publish

Always proofread and edit your content piece before you publish it online. At times, take a break and come back to the blog with a fresh perspective to understand if there is any scope for improvement. No reader will stay on your blog page if they notice spelling & punctuation mistakes and inconsistent grammar.

These could be reasons for you not being able to connect with the right target audience. You must take care of grammar, punctuation, vocabulary, spelling, and formatting before you finally publish it.

Several online tools can help you evaluate and refine the content you have written for your blog. Always produce, review, edit, and publish content.

Be sure to use only good quality pictures

Good quality pictures matter a lot in a travel blog. They speak a lot about the location, the surrounding, and the little elements in the picture. The pictures help attract the audience, make them more interested in knowing about the place, and hence, read your blog.

Use appropriate images according to the content that narrates the intricate details of what you are talking about. It is best to click the pictures yourself or collaborate with a professional photographer. You also can use stock-free images, but it might be difficult always to find the right fit with the content.

Write for the reader

Write the blog keeping the reader in mind and not yourself. You have to make sure that you provide relevant information in your blog and keep them interested throughout the blog your writing.

Ensure the content is 100% original

Avoid plagiarism in your blog. There are tools available online that can check the plagiarism percentage of your blog and give you details about the sentences that are plagiarised and from which websites.

Other than that, when you’re writing, write your unique thoughts and ideas and give the readers something original that they can appreciate. When you have to pick a quote, image, statistic, video, etc., you should give credits to the source by mentioning them and giving their link.

Tools That Will Assist You in Write a Travel Blog

We’ve mentioned using several tools to help aid your writing in the previous section. Let’s briefly talk about these tools and how they can benefit when you write travel blogs.

Grammarly is a tool that will ensure that there are no grammatical errors, punctuation mistakes, sentences that are easy to understand, and more. It analyzes your writing, gives it an overall score, and measures the blog’s correctness, clarity, and engagement.

Canva is a free and customizable design tool that will let you create professional-looking creatives and videos for your travel blog and other platforms where you would like to promote your blog. It offers you a library of various templates, designs, elements, fonts, etc.

SEMrush can be used to find the relevant keywords to understand and reach your audience. It also helps you find trending topics that will do well on the search engines. Moreover, it provides you with a detailed analysis of your competitions.

MailChimp is a marketing platform that provides you with audience data, insights, and marketing channels to help you achieve your business goals.

It has a content studio that lets you create engaging content with design tools and creative templates. It offers tools that help you get to know your audience better and enhance the customer experience.

Pinterest is a great platform that can help you increase referral traffic on your travel blogs. You need to use the right tools and strategies to create interesting pins that link to your travel blog. People widely use Pinterest’s visual search engine to find pins that could be ideas or solutions.

Tips to Making Blog Writing on Travel More Thoughtful

Here are a few tips that could be of some help.

● When writing a travel blog about a place you have visited, write about it as soon as possible while your thoughts are fresh and you’re still motivated by the trip.

● When talking about the frequency of blogs you post in a week, always remember it is more important to post quality blogs than to focus on quantity.

● A travel blogger must focus on consistency and ensure that they post the number of blogs they have decided upon. Once you build a fan following, they start expecting a post from you, and you wouldn’t want to disappoint them.

● Always be honest about your experiences. If you did not like something, mention that because the readers care about your honest opinion, which is why they are reading your blog.

● Keep the tone of the content casual. Travel blogs are expected to be written by ordinary people like the readers, and the readers are likely to connect with this kind of casual approach.

What Should I Post On My Travel Blog?

Writer’s block for bloggers is a very real thing, as is being confused on what to actually post to see growth.

So, before we dive into the list of travel blog topics , let’s discuss how to determine what to post on your blog.

One smart tactic is starting with a mission statement. You can use the template “I help [group of people] do [how you help].”

From there, you can pinpoint the best travel topics to fulfill that mission and even come up with a few travel blog categories.

For instance, if your mission is to help women feel confident traveling solo, you might write a blog post about how to travel solo in Paris or a guide to overcoming fear when you’re scared to travel alone .

Feeling stuck? You can use a tool like Jasper’s Blog Post Topic Ideas Template for quick and easy help. This tool uses artifical intelligence to instantly generate a list of topics that can engage your audience.

Where To Find New Travel Blog Post Ideas

After learning how to start a travel blog and make money , it’s important to regularly publish interesting articles that continuously bring you traffic and help you grow your income.

But, maybe you’re wondering how to come up with blog post ideas that people actually read .

Luckily, I have a few tips for this.

Note that for a full overview of how to create a content plan that aligns with your overall goals, I recommend taking my free Profitable Travel Blog Makeover , a four-day course that takes you from blog branding to monetization.

So earlier in the post I discussed starting with a mission statement that guides your content.

Along with coming up with travel blog post ideas from your own imagination, you can also utilize:

Jasper AI (click for a 10,000-word free trial).

Jasper uses the power of artificial intelligence to help you outline blog posts, create content, and come up with blog post ideas.

You can use the Blog Post Topic Ideas Template and simply enter your:

  • company name
  • product description
  • tone of voice
  • how many ideas your need

Boom — Jasper will provide you a list of ideas for travel topics to write about. From there, you can favorite the ones you like to help the tool better get to know what you’re looking for.

Keysearch  (use code “jessieonajourney30” for 30% off)

This is a powerful keyword research tool that can help you optimize your blog content to rank higher in search engine rankings.

You’ll also be able to input desired keywords to see related keywords — as well as questions people have about your keyword in the “Content Assistant” section. These can also be used as travel blog post ideas.

travel blog post ideas from Keysearch

Like tutorials?

Check out this short video to see how to find micro niche keywords and relevant keywords you can actually rank for using Keysearch:

Niche Facebook groups & forums .

Pop into a Facebook group or Reddit forum related to your niche and see what people are discussing. These can make for great travel related content ideas.

Google Trends .

Monitor search trends over a given time. This can help you post about things people are truly talking about.

Pinterest Trends .

See what topics are trending on Pinterest. This tool can help your content marketing efforts by helping you get more traffic to your Pinterest pins, which translates into more visitors to your blog content.

These are just a few of many strategies for coming up with engaging travel post ideas.

How To Write A Travel Blog Post Without Traveling

One common question many travel bloggers have:

How do I write a travel blog without traveling?

Of course, there will be times when travel isn’t possible.

This doesn’t mean you need to stop creating content.

Instead, consider how you might cover where you live in a way that would be interesting to travelers.

For instance, I have loads of New York City travel content because I know that even though it’s not a travel destination to me, it is to other people. Plus, being a local allows me a unique perspective not every blogger can provide.

You might also think about “armchair travel” content; blog post ideas that have a travel theme but can be enjoyed without leaving home.

A few examples of this include roundups of short travel stories , cultural recipes, solo staycation ideas , and other travel at home posts that align with your mission.

These strategies are also great travel blog ideas for beginners, who may be looking to jumpstart their blog with content even if they’re not traveling.

travel blog post ideas staycations

How To Write A Catchy Blog Post Title

Now, here’s the thing when it comes to coming up with ideas for travel blog posts:

Even if you have an amazing article, if your title isn’t enticing, it likely won’t get read.

Luckily, there is a free Headline Analyzer tool from CoSchedule that can help with this.

Basically, it looks at your headline to ensure that:

  • It has a good mix of common, uncommon, emotional, and power words
  • The first and last three words of the headline are engaging (as these are the words people tend to focus on most)
  • It includes searchable keywords
  • It isn’t too generic
  • It’s the right length (about 60 characters)

How To Start A Travel Blog Post

Now that you have a big list of travel content ideas , it’s time to dive deeper into how to actually write your blog post.

One very important part of your travel blog post is the introduction, as this will affect whether someone continues reading or clicks away.

To help you engage readers right away, I recommend utilizing the APP Method; also known as Agree – Promise – Preview.

This copywriting technique, which I learned about from Backlinko , revolves around the idea that your introduction should first agree with the reader to make it clear you understand them.

From there, you make a promise to them — such as a solution to a problem or a benefit of some kind.

Finally, you provide a preview by sharing exactly what they’ll get out of reading the blog post.

This blog post on growing an email list as a blogger provides a nice example of the APP Formula in action.

It’s also shown here:

Promoting A Travel Blog Post Organically

There are many smart ways to increase blog traffic , a few of which I’ll outline here.

I recommend incorporating these into a content checklist so that you always know exactly what needs to be done before hitting publish on a blog post.

Optimize your blog posts for Search Engine Optimization (SEO) .

In my opinion, the best way to grow your blog traffic is to optimize it to rank in search results.

Once it ranks, you can continue to enjoy steady traffic for the foreseeable future.

Again, Keysearch makes it simple to both research if you can realistically rank for a keyword and then optimize your content for it. You can use code “jessieonajourney30” for 30% off.

While Keysearch offers loads of tutorials on how to use their tool, here is a quick overview:

travel blog post ideas in Keysearch

Above is an example of me researching “places to hike on Long Island,” a keyword I currently rank in the first spot of Google for.

On the left, you can see a graphic comparing all of the first page posts — which provides information for determining whether it’s worth competing for the keyword or not.

For instance, you can see things like how your Domain Authority compares to the other posts already ranking, as well as if the other posts have optimized their title, description, and URL for the keyword you want to rank for.

Additionally, on the right, you can see other suggested keywords with important information related to how competitive they are and how often people search for them.

Keep in mind, this is just the main page of Keysearch. The tool has numerous other features for ranking your posts in Google, too.

Take your SEO to the next level.

Now, another tool that can help with optimizing your content to rank in organic search results is Surfer SEO .

Instead of simply giving you data about other sites that are ranking, Surfer SEO analyzes your website to make tailored recommendations for:

  • specific keywords to target
  • specific ways to optimize new content
  • specific changes to make to old content to improve its chances of ranking
  • specific missed opportunities for internal and external backlinks
  • specific on-page SEO optimizations (such as optimal word count, title length, image count, etc)
  • and much more

As you can see, the tool gets very specific.

In short, you’ll get a step-by-step SEO workflow that can help you grow your traffic and increase your rankings – no guesswork required!

Here is a quick tutorial going over some of Surfer SEO’s powerful features:

While you’ll need a paid plan to get everything I showcase in the video, they do offer a free AI Article Outline Generator to give you a small taste of the platform.

Promote your new travel blog post on your social media channels.

When you promote new content, I highly recommend weaving a story into your shares to increase engagement. Talk about why you wrote the post, how the topic has impacted you, and how it can benefit others.

To save time, you can use a tool like StoryChief to blast your new travel blog content across your blogging hubs, social media channels, and email newsletter with one click.

Speaking of email newsletters…

Understand how to promote your blog content to your email subscribers in an engaging way by utilizing storytelling email marketing .

Just like when sharing travel blog content on social media, it’s helpful to share a story to make your email even more valuable.

Moreover, if you have an automated email sequence set up for new subscribers you can add in your best blog posts to help the content continuously get traffic.

Looking for an email marketing software that’s feature-rich and intuitive — and includes automations?

Click here for a free one-month trial of ConvertKit (no credit card required!).

The platform is made for bloggers by bloggers. And once you sell products, they also offer a marketplace to help their users increase sales.

Choosing Blog Post Categories

In terms of the categories you put on a travel blog post, consider how you want to organize your content.

Typically, your categories will be your blog’s main themes, while your tags help further break them down.

For instance, you might have “North America” as a category and “USA” and “Canada” as tags.

travel blog post ideas for online courses

How To Get Paid As A Travel Blogger

There are many ways to boost your travel blogging income — especially if you’re focusing on offering paid products, services, and experiences that fulfill your mission and that are an extension of your travel blog content.

Again, I highly recommend grabbing a seat in my free four-day travel blogging course if you want to learn how to make money blogging, though a few of the main ways I monetize my travel blog include:

Creating & selling online courses.

You’re already sharing knowledge in some way through your helpful blog content. Why not package up your wisdom into an online course that further helps your readers?

Personally, I use and recommend Teachable for creating online courses. That link gets you a two-week free trial, no credit card required!

You’ll have everything you need to be successful — including powerful training videos and support. It’s what I use to create and launch all of my online travel blogging courses .

Selling photo tours in NYC.

After having loads of readers ask me to show them around New York, I decided to get licensed as an NYC tour guide and start offering local experiences.

In fact, I’ve done so well selling these through my blog that I started a sister company, NYC Photo Journeys .

Working with brands.

This includes working on blogger brand collaborations as well as going on paid press trips and promoting partners in my travel blog content.

Affiliate marketing for travel bloggers .

When coming up with travel blog post ideas, I highly recommend you regularly add content optimized for affiliate sales to your publishing schedule. Here are some creative ways to promote affiliate links .

Running display ads on my travel blog.

Personally, I work with Mediavine for this. To see success, you should be publishing SEO-optimized articles and regularly updating older content so that it’s up-to-date.

travel blog post ideas

How To Become A Travel Blogger

If you stay focused, it’s possible to make money blogging in one year or less .

Map out your blogging goals , including what they are, how to reach them, and by when.

Stick with one or two main strategies, and then once you master those, you can add in others. This helps alleviate spreading yourself too thin.

This might mean saying you want to earn $5,000/month in affiliate sales by June 1 through publishing two affiliate-optimized blog posts per month, publishing two affiliate-optimized videos per month as part of your YouTube strategy , and hosting a free challenge that promotes an affiliate each quarter.

Remember, also, to grab access to my free Travel Blogger Resource Library to snag printables and workshops that can help you take your blog full-time much quicker.

USING TRAVEL CONTENT COLLECTIVE VS HIRING YOUR OWN WRITERS

Travel content collective is your one-stop-service for your travel content. you might wonder, why not just hire your own writers and skip the middle-man to name a few, here are some reasons to use travel content collective.

  • We’ll save you a ridiculous amount of time: Have you ever tried managing a team of writers? Well let us tell you, it’s not exactly a walk in the park. Trying to put kittens in a basket comes to mind… That’s why many of our clients come to us because they simply don’t have the time to source multiple writers, test multiple writers, brief multiple writers, and finally chase multiple writers when deadlines have been missed and then only have to go back to them to request edits. We can do all that for you so you just have to brief one of our account managers and then wait for us to return what you asked for. Presto! Magico! You can spend all that saved time on other areas of your business, or doing yoga, or learning Portuguese, or teaching yourself how to play guitar. Whatever suits your fancy!
  • We’ll do the research for you: All our writers are excellent researchers so you can trust us to deliver accurate travel content. You want an article about the best travel gear? We’ll recommend the best of the best. Want to share with your readers the best beaches to visit in a particular city? If our writers don’t already know the answer, they’ll quickly seek out all the best-kept secrets and insider knowledge there is to find. City itineraries? We’ll take your readers to all the known and unknown hot spots all over the globe. Trust us. We’re that good.
  • We’ll do the editing: One of our editors always proofreads your content before delivery. When hiring your own writers you’ll have to spend a lot of time proofing and editing the articles yourself. A minimum of 2 team members work on every single piece of text we produce to make sure we always deliver the highest quality travel content.
  • Easy payment: You’ll receive only one single invoice from us each month making payment super quick and easy for all your travel content needs. No more processing a pile of payments for different writers. We accept payments via PayPal, Transferwise or BACS (UK customers only).
  • We’re always open: You can contact Travel Content Collective seven days a week. Our team of nomadic travel writers is large enough for someone to be on hand for your urgent order. No more waiting around for your writer or writers to return from vacation or sick leave. Even when we’re on the go, we’re always there for you.
  • No more on-going employee costs: Say goodbye to the extra lines in your budget for writer recruitment, overtime, sick leave, and vacation. The Travel Content Collective is one huge cost-saver. Just pay for what you need.

That’s it. What did we say, easy as pie right? Or did we mention cake? Either way, the Travel Content Collective is your one-stop magic shop that produces compelling words and SEO shattering content. Ready to order? Drop us a line and get ready to be amazed, and to have a lot more free time on your hands and money in your pockets.

The Ultimate Guide to Travel Content

The Ultimate Guide to Travel Content

Table of Contents

What is Travel Content?

Travel content strives to produce consistent communication materials (blog posts, images, videos, etc ) that customers will find helpful while crawling through the web. Travel content does not promote a brand like traditional advertising. The main focus here is on giving away the value-rich information to receive back the trust and conversions.

Travel content writing goes beyond selecting elegant phrases and doing some standard preparations. It's all about reflecting on never-repeating experiences that push people to walk in the writer's shoes. So, whenever the quality of the copy is on top, you wish to be the other person, reliving it.

Why Do I Need Travel Content?

Increase seo ranking = increase traffic on listing.

The goal of high ranking in the search results is to pull as much traffic as possible from the search channel. SEO can increase your web traffic by featuring in relevant searches.

Provide User Experience

Modern customers are not just interested in products or brands; when they make purchases, the experience of buying is just as important as what they are looking for. So you have to provide the relevant information in a comfortable way.

If they encounter sites that are confusing and hard to use, customers naturally recoil. They want simple ways to find product information, discover brand backgrounds, and - most importantly - make their purchases.

Inspire Clients/Visitors/users

If you want to inspire travelers, content is the right choice! Because People trust organic content more than paid advertising. If you delight the visitors, they will tend to share it with their surroundings. We call it word of mouth, giving you better results than splashing the cash on commercials.

Drive Conversions

Lead conversion occurs when a person converts lead into account/form/opportunity. It opens room for various actions. Therefrom, you can gather relevant data from your target audience and use it in your marketing strategy.

Travel content can influence thousands of customer decisions by aligning proper strategic approaches. Travelers fancy broadening their horizons and learning more about their favorite cultures. Here, you can stimulate long-lasting relationships. Guide them through an inspirational journey!

What Can Travel Content Achieve?/Who Should Use Travel Content?

Developing travel content is always a good idea, especially when we want to:

  • Raise brand awareness
  • Start valuable communication with the target audience
  • Gain new customers through content marketing
  • When listing a new product

Personas who need travel content are:

  • E-commerce managers
  • Tourism companies
  • Marketing managers

What are Travel Content Types?

Product descriptions.

Product descriptions  contain general facts about the travel destinations. You can get information about the different seasons, climates, cultures, and much more.

Itineraries

When planning a trip, must give quick facts about, e.g., how much public transportation costs? Is there a metro connection? Do I need a visa? etc

Personal Travel Diaries/Travel Blog Articles

Personal travel blogs are about the individual's feelings, plans, thoughts, and particular adventures. People love the idea behind the blog is a person like them sparking honest conversations throughout the net.

Industry News

“Little industry-related updates never killed nobody,”, especially during the pandemics. The vast majority of people are searching for travel regulations. They are looking for destinations where vaccinated ones can travel.

Relevant Tips

Providing helpful information to readers, that's what content marketing is all about! If it is well structured and produced, they make you want to travel.

What Should the Travel Website Include?

Finally, It's time for vacation! I will pack my bags.

That's what your audience needs to think and feel. Before making this decision, people tend to zoom in on the travel agencies, destinations, and accommodation. So, the mission is to help them arrive at conclusions.

Travel Blog Articles

Instead of dry facts, you can share  real travel tales  that animate the rhythm and lifestyle of cities. Users love authentic, first-hand travel experiences. Yes, that's what makes you pack the bags. Moreover, it supports travelers to understand better what to expect from their long-wished vacations.

Visitors do not perceive travel blogs as marketing communication tools. People like listening to exciting stories; that's what we do daily.

Travel Product Descriptions

Try to transport readers to the destination itself. Use vivid language which conjures up the long-awaited trips.  Travel product descriptions  contain general facts about different seasons, climates, cultures, and much more.

It helps visitors to better prepare for the upcoming trip. Everyone wants to grasp even small details to avoid uncertainty. The trick is to organize this information and make readers feel like traveling there themselves. Thus, it's about writing texts that are more informative yet emotional at the same time.

Travel Brochures

A travel brochure  is a Short magazine enriched with beautiful images, descriptions, and specific data about places. The information presented here is lengthy and detailed. Travel Brochures highlight prices, events, suggestions, and calls to action (CTA).

When it comes to travel brochures, photos take a decisive role. It draws attention to the particular destination. If you add a descriptive copy to the colorful background, you can get an effective mixture.

Translated and Localized Travel Content

If you want your brand to be global, people around the globe should understand you. Especially travel content can attract tourists from around the world. The translated content is an excellent source of lead generation, but translation alone is not enough. It needs to be localized and adapted to the respective target market. Places, people, brand names, but also sayings or idioms should be as familiar to readers in the other language as those of the original text.

Online interactions are the key factor when choosing a vacation destination. Travelers refer to search engines to narrow down their choices. But Sometimes, countless offers and promotions overwhelm them. So, if you want to stand out from the crowd, you should develop a content marketing strategy.

Getting Started With Travel Blog

Do you want to increase the chance of content success? Then you have to compose a travel blog strategy. Let's dive into details.

How to Get Started with Travel Content?

Define goals.

The crucial ingredient of any strategy is goals. Before you start brainstorming great content ideas, you should ask yourself: Why am I doing this? Creating content without clarifying this question is like shooting in the dark. You can get lost in blogging, but your efforts could perish. So, the first step is to define your goals. You may have heard of SMART goals flowing on the web; it is worth a try.  You increase the likelihood of achieving your goals if they are verifiable:

S = Specific (specific, that is, your goal should not be "more success," but for example, "more revenue") M = Measurable (measurable: Choose clear and quantifiable key performance indicators) A = Accepted (objectives must have a recognizable meaning to be accepted by all parties) R = Realistic (realistic, workable; the goal must be achievable) T = Timebound; ( Specify a time when you reach the goal)

Come Up with a Name

The first thing you should do is come up with a name. Your blog's name will be the headline of your home page. And you must choose something catchy, unique, and understandable. It helps if the name has a meaning. For example, "My Travel Blog" or "Traveling the World." It is also essential that your name is unique and search engine friendly.

Set Up Your Domain and Hosting

The next thing your blog needs is a theme. This will be the visual appearance of your blog. Your structure and content will be based on this theme. WordPress is the most popular blogging platform, and there are thousands of themes to choose from. Once you have chosen a theme, it is up to you how you want your blog to look. There are many ways to present your content, and they all have their pros and cons. 

Once you have your theme, go ahead and set up your hosting. Hosting is the backend infrastructure that will allow you to get the blogger software installed on your site. This is also when you can install plugins and widgets. Once you have your hosting in place, it's time to get your blog up and running.

Define Audience Personas

The audience persona is the universal record of your ideal customer on:

  • Demographics - gender, age, ethnicity, income, etc
  • Goals and Values- what are the goals and standards or judgment they stand on?
  • Behaviors - how do they act in specific situations?
  • Challenges - what are the challenges they want to tackle to simplify their daily lives?
  • Source of Information - what channels do they use to receive information? (Social media, digital media, tv, magazines, personal experiences)

Find Topics Your Personas Care About

Before you start, it's essential to understand who your personas are and what they care about. It would be best if you matched their interest with your content. So, If you work hard to understand the challenges and pinpoints of your personas, it will bring you many insights.

Travel SEO Keyword Research

SEO research is an integral part of content creation. It gives us ideas about what's trending on Google and keywords people use in the search query.

Keyword: It's a search term that you want your page to rank. Let's say people are searching for a specific keyword (travel content) or phrase. They should find you on the Search Engine Result Page. For the Keyword research , you will need to use some tools

Google Search Console

Ahref's Keyword Explorer

Take Good Pictures for Travel Blogging

When you begin to travel long-term, you will need to take a lot of pictures. You want your blog to look professional and attractive, so you must take inspired photos.

Create Editorial Calendar

With an  editorial action plan , you can gather all the essential information at a glance. You can plan significant dates and avoid getting yourself in a spin. Besides the title or topic, the editorial action plan should also include the category, the target group, and a short description. It would help if you also considered who should write the article and, of course, when it has to be published. 

Where Do I Get Travel Content From?

External resources.

Using external resources, such as agencies and freelancers, will save you time. If you hire a great agency, you will connect with a team of experts covering immeasurable ground for you. Not only that, you keep both costs and quality under control at all times.

You can also create content by attracting guest bloggers who will help turn your blog into a thought-provoking space. It can also raise the domain authority.

Internal Resources

You can also produce the content internally. If you have a specific team who will commit to content can go for it. Last but not least, content strategy is not solely a marketing initiative. Therefore, you must create the content strategy and integrate it within the organization. To keep things under control, you can nominate the person responsible for content curation: managing, scheduling, implementing, etc.

Getting Ready to Kick off

Starting a blog for the first time is incredible. Thinking that people all over the net could read your blogs is something special. But there are some steps to undertake before beginning it.

How to Get Your Travel Blog Up and Running?

Creating a blog is straightforward, but finding the right name is more challenging. There are plenty of categories of travel bloggers out there. They take their names from their profession and personalities. You can too. Here's a list of some examples:

  • "Adventure Blogger"
  • "Backpacker Blogger "
  • "Foodie Blogger"

What do these bloggers have in common? They each have a niche, expertise, or passion that sets them apart.

When it comes to hosting, you have two options: a WordPress blog or an e-commerce platform. WordPress is more popular than ever, and if you don't already have one, it's simple to set up on your own. The downside is that you're not in full control of its administration. On the other hand, an e-commerce platform allows you to get a little more creative with your blog's branding and design.

Choose a Blog Theme

There are several options for blog themes. Choosing one that fits your brand and personality will impact the visitor experience.

Start Creating First Travel Blog Posts

Start creating blog posts that are useful to your audience. Are you new to blogging? Start with the basics like travel destinations and experiences and details on how to get there.

Are you an experienced blogger? Start with your niche and write about specific experiences or topics you know a lot about. 

Start blogging, even if you're beginning from scratch. Consistency is key to building a loyal audience of readers.

How to Track Travel Content Success

Track your booking numbers; if it is growing, then you are on the wheel.
