This could be the job for you…
As the New Year is fast approaching, we have been busy writing a number of seasonal travel blogs, articles and destination guides for a wide variety of travel clients. Our festive travel content writing has ranged from this blog on Christmas activities in southwest England to this microsite about how to enjoy a winter sun cruise this season.
But when it comes to complete luxury, it’s hard to beat our feature article about partying on private islands…
Produced by us for the very first issue of Private Air New York Magazine (Winter 2014/2015) – a new publication spin-off by our long-term client Private Air Luxury Homes Magazine – it was published in early December 2014.
The article focuses on eight of the most beautiful and exclusive private islands in the world, covering everywhere from Fiji to The Bahamas, Zambia to Cambodia, and the kind of New Year’s Eve parties you could enjoy on them.
Fancy being whisked off to another world of exclusive luxury? Then scroll down to read the article now…
It’s that time of year again; when the wrapping paper comes out of the drawer, the mince pies are bought in bulk and everyone starts getting a little sick of the John Lewis advert. But Christmas should be about more than gift-related chores, unavoidable shopping and depressed penguins. This is a time to have fun with friends and family.

So here it is – our first ever blog for Discovery Holiday Homes, focusing on fun things to do around Christmas in South East England. It’s entitled, rather imaginatively, ‘Top 10 Festive Activities in the South East this Christmas’…
A quick Google search for ‘travel article’ turns up a rather intimidating 1.2 billion results. The competition is fierce, so you have to be clever to stand out from the crowd.
Luckily, we’re here to help, with seven top tips for improving your written travel content.
1. What’s your point?
Before you start writing a travel article, there’s a very important question you need to ask yourself: What exactly are you trying to say? Followed quickly by: Does your audience want to hear it? You need to have a point, or at the very least a premise, and it has to be one that will appeal to your readership.
Writing a travel article is not the same as writing a personal journal. Readers don’t need every last trivial detail. Chances are no-one really wants to hear about your search for a nail clipper in Florence. It’s best to convey a message tailored to your readers’ needs, so sift through the boring minutiae and pick out only what is relevant and interesting to your readers.
