Travel Writing Resources on the Web
Although I’m best known as a technology and business journalist, I also enjoy writing about travel and have published a book (Smart Travel, Ziff-Davis Press) and numerous articles on this topic. Here are a few of my favorite travel writing resources on the web:
- Media Kitty. Sign up for a free account and receive access to news, press trip announcements, and story ideas. Includes ezine.
- Adventure Travel Media Source. A great source of news and press trip announcements for adventure travel writers.
- Travel Publicity Leads. Enter a free information request for background info, media kits, press trip invites, and more from the travel media.
- Travelwriters.com. Offers travel media news, a discussion board, and a travel article syndication service. Access to the site and ezine are free, but there’s a $49 annual fee for access to the press trip announcements.
Another great tip for travel writers seeking destination information: go to the website of the convention and visitors bureau for your target location. Many have special section specifically for the travel media that include press releases, access to professional photos to accompany your story, press trip announcements, detailed background information suited to the needs of travel writers, and other info not available to the general public.
