From Tech Escapes to River Cruises: The Top Travel Trends of 2018 – Infographic

Believe it or not, we are already a quarter of the way through 2018 – where on earth has the time gone?! Within the world of travel, that means that the year’s consumer travel trends are starting to take shape. To mark 2018’s progress so far, we thought we’d take a look back to late 2017 and see the predictions then for the year ahead.

This infographic from The Dunloe Hotel & Gardens predicted some of the trends that they’re convinced will come to pass in 2018, from low-cost long-haul flights to health-conscious holidays. We think that a few of these trends have already grown in popularity this year (particularly ‘the switch off holiday’, where people choose to eschew their smartphones and other tech), but you can decide for yourself by scrolling down to see the full infographic…

The Best of Our Spring Travel Content

Look outside. The days are getting longer. Daffodils are poking their yellow heads up through the dirt. Cadbury Creme Eggs have come and gone from our lives. And all this can only mean one thing: spring is finally upon us.

We are celebrating the new season with some of our best spring-themed content. Bid farewell to winter’s hearty comfort food and choose lighter fare instead, with our selection of the world’s finest seafood restaurants. Spring is also the season for festivals, with Songkran (aka Thai New Year) a springtime favourite – you can find a chic place to stay with our run-down of Thailand’s greatest luxury design hotels. With the weather getting better, why not also discover some new places – we’ve added a guide on Moscow and copy for a hotel on the Algarve. And the days may be getting longer, but there’s still pitch black night skies to enjoy, so we have included a piece on stargazing.

From Budapest to The Bahamas: Travel Guide Content for TravelSupermarket

At World Words, we’re often asked to write destination guides for our clients. No wonder – travel guide content is the ideal way for a travel brand to share its expertise, while also communicating its unique personality and tone of voice. It can also do wonders for a brand’s SEO, boosting its search engine rankings in relation to key destinations and services, and ultimately delivering more potential customers to its website. And when it comes to travel guide writing, there’s nobody with as much content experience and as much local destination expertise as World Words.

In early 2017, we were approached by online travel comparison company TravelSupermarket. They were looking for a series of 3,500- to 4,500-word travel guides on popular destinations across Europe and beyond, from short city breaks to long island escapes. With our team of writers based all around the world, World Words was able to offer the on-the-ground insight they wanted, so over the next few months we wrote 30 different guides for them.

We’ve included extracts and links for six of our fave TravelSupermarket guides below. Scroll down to read them…
