Advertising in Travel

I am going to talk about my two favorite topics in this post, advertising and travel! You may ask, "How much does advertising correspond with travel?" -- A lot actually!

I have put together a list of people/places that you will find travel advertising.


1. Travel Agents 



I have recently interviewed a former travel agent and we talked about advertising, she made a great point by saying it has all changed from paper to the web. They will have some brochures from companies, but it will mostly be on the computer.


2. Travel Sites

Of course you can go to any travel site and there is going to be ads galore on the site. Most people are looking for the best bang for their buck.


3. Google

If you search anything related to travel, you are going to see a lot of different travel ads being advertised.


4. Facebook

It could be anything from an actual ad on the site or simply just one of your friends talking about a destination they have previously been to.


5. Word of Mouth

We rely a lot on our friends and family, they are the ones that we trust the most. Just think when you are going to go on a trip the first thing you are going to do is to ask around to see if anyone has traveled there before.


Thanks for reading! I have been working on creating a bunch of post with my favorite destinations. Look out for those this next week!

  1. I really do think advertising gets people thinking of going on a trip. Then It seems we almost always ask others about what they think. Thanks. Awesome blog.
