Travel & Tourism Guest Post Sites

What to look for

Destination relevance matters more than in almost any other category. A piece about Portugal on a site whose audience reads about Southeast Asia will reach people with no interest in it, whatever the traffic figure says.

Check the country attached to the listing as well as the topic. A travel site based in one market often writes for readers in that market, which shapes the currency, the airports, and the assumptions in every article.

Seasonality moves both demand and turnaround

Travel publishing follows booking cycles rather than travel dates. Interest in summer destinations builds through the preceding winter, and publishers are busiest in the months before a season, not during it.

That affects turnaround. A placement ordered during a publisher’s peak takes longer to go live than the same order in a quiet month, and the listing’s stated turnaround is an average across the year rather than a promise for next week.

Common questions

Does the destination I write about need to match the site?

It helps considerably. Travel audiences are usually attached to particular regions or travel styles, and a piece outside the site’s usual coverage reaches readers with little interest in it. Each listing describes what the publisher covers.

When is the best time to order a travel placement?

Ahead of the booking cycle rather than the travel season — interest in a destination builds in the months before people go. Publishers are also busier immediately before a season, so ordering in a quieter month often means a faster turnaround.

Do travel sites allow commercial links?

Many do, though several charge more for content containing them because their audiences convert well. Every listing states how many links it allows and what it will accept, which you can see in full with a free account.
