From Guides to Slides: Choosing the Best Form of Content For Your Travel Brand

Don’t let anybody tell you otherwise – there is no such thing as one-size-fits-all travel content writing. Every travel business is different, as are its consumers and the service or product it provides. Travel content must address the needs of those readers (both existing and potential clients) whilst simultaneously promoting and adding value to the brand. In short, it must be personalised to you, individually… starting with choosing the right form of content.

There are many aspects to consider before deciding on the type and style of content writing. Ask yourself some of these questions: What would I like my readers/potential clients to know? What content can I provide them with to help them plan/buy/choose my brand? Who is my demographic? How will this ultimately benefit my company?

To help you choose the right form of content, we’ve created a breakdown of your options, and how to best utilise them for your travel brand. We’ve already covered travel blogs in detail, so we will begin with destination pieces…

Cuba at the Crossroads: A Snap-Happy Travel Itinerary for Photo Xpeditions

Cuba has long been a dream destination for many American travellers, and it is gradually becoming a genuine possibility. Relaxed regulations have made it easier for Americans to get to the island for reasons of cultural exchange, though unfettered travel is still some way off the cards. One thing is for sure; Cuba is on the cusp. A dramatic change looms ahead, though right now, much of what makes this country so special – the classic cars, undeveloped beaches, decaying yet beautiful buildings and inimitable atmosphere – is still very much present.

One of our clients, Photo Xpeditions, is enabling travellers to experience this fascinating nation through a new photographic workshop. And our team at World Words produced the web copy and travel itinerary around this. The nine-day tour takes in the country’s second-largest city, Santiago de Cuba; the lesser-known coastal city of Baracoa; labyrinthine Camagüey and many more places besides. Led by two professional (and award-winning) photographers with years of experience snapping and exploring Cuba, the workshop promises the chance for photographers to both experience and capture the island’s unique essence during this most interesting of times.

Photo Xpeditions: Hidden Myanmar Photographic Travel Itinerary

Travel and photography go together like steak and frites. But how can you get more out of your travelling snaps?

That’s the question one of our clients, PhotoXpeditions, is helping to answer. Through a range of photographic workshops, PhotoXpeditions takes participants on exciting travel adventures to such far-flung destinations as Andalusia and Peru – and all to practice their photography skills. During their travels, they are accompanied by a pro photographer who shares the tricks of the trade and offers advice on how to capture that perfect image.

Recently, we at World Words have been busy writing engaging photography-focused travel itineraries that reveal the details of PhotoXpeditions fantastic workshops. In the past, we’ve worked our magic on tailor-made photo tours through Northern Spain, such as this ‘On the Footsteps of St. James’ itinerary, but most recently we have turned our attention to Asia, helping to pen engaging travel itineraries for the likes of Myanmar and Japan.
