What to post on a travel blog in 2023

Need some travel blog post ideas? While this post was originally written in 2020 during a global travel ban, most of the content ideas are still relevant to travel bloggers today, as the world begins to open back up. It will take some time for the travel industry to get back on its feet. I hope these ideas help.

When I wrote this post in 2020, I was really feeling for my fellow bloggers in the travel niche. I wanted to put myself in their shoes and think about what I would write about right now if I were a travel blogger.

Here is a list of travel blog post ideas to continue to grow your travel niche blog when no one is travelling. Or for when you’re stuck at home and just not actively travelling.

P.S. for more help never struggling to come up with travel blogging ideas, check out this content planner for travel bloggers.

 

Dealing With The Current Situation

This is an unprecedented time. The COVID-19 Pandemic has changed the travel industry drastically. And with it, the travel blog industry. I can’t imagine how hard it is to write a travel blog without travelling!

And while your typical travel blog advice may be on hold, you can still be there for your audience. Help your readers through the situation with tips unique to this time in history with advice about:

–When to Cancel Travel Plans
–How to Cancel a Flight
-Dealing with the Disappointment of a Cancelled Trip
-How to Get a Flight Refund
-Explaining a Cancelled Trip to Kids

 

 

Connect With Your Audience

Now is a great time to give your audience an insight into who YOU are. Allowing your readers in on a more personal level can create more trust and loyalty.

Instead of focusing on where your audience should be going, let them into your world with personal experiences, such as:

-The First Trip You’ll Personally Take After the Travel Ban
-Running a Travel Blog During a Pandemic
-Your Travel Bucket List
-Your Funniest Travel Experience
-Your Most Bizarre Travel Experience
-Your Scariest Travel Experience
-The Strangest Thing You’ve Eaten While Travelling
-Favourite Travel Souvenir You’ve Acquired
-Your Favourite Travel Documentaries

 

 

Travel From Home

Help your audience scratch that travel itch from home! Keep them from feeling stuck with helpful resources like:

-Travel From Home – The Best Virtual Tours of Famous Tourist Destinations
-Local Day trips to Cure Your Wanderlust
-The Best Virtual Disney Rides on YouTube
-The Best Travel Shows on Netflix
-Virtual Tours of Zoos and Museums
-Favourite Travel Based YouTube Channels
-Exploring Locations with Google Maps

 

 

Get the Creative Travel Juices Flowing!

We’re all in the same boat. Stuck at home, ready to get out or find something to occupy our time. Help your travel-loving readers cope with travel-themed activities like:

-Creative Ways to Organize/Store Travel Photos
-Travel Themed Crafts
-Recipes! Tastes From Around The World To Recreate at Home
-Creative Ways to Display Travel Photos/Souvenirs

 

 

Help Your Readers Plan For Future Travel

Since no one knows WHEN the travel will return to normal, you could offer your readers ideas that could enhance their future trips that may require more preparation than others. For example:

-Basic Phrases to Learn in Various Languages (ie. Basic French that could be helpful when travelling to Paris or How  to Say Hello, Goodbye, Please, and Thank You in various languages)
-What’s On Your Long Flight Playlist
-Photography Tips: Improve Skills Before Your Next Trip
-How to Thoroughly Plan Your Next Trip
-How to Start a Travel Fund For The Future

 

Post-Pandemic Travel Post Ideas

More ideas to grow your travel blog

Prepare!
Now is also a great time to pre-write blog posts for when the travel ban is lifted. Take this opportunity to get future content written and ready to promote when the time comes.

Make lots of Pinterest pins for the new posts and have social media posts drafted and saved. If nothing else, this is the perfect time to get super organized.

OR go ahead and publish posts that aren’t relevant now, but will be. This way you’ll get the posts indexed and get Pinterest pins out there for future searches.

 

Maintenance
Update your old blog posts. Make adjustments to your blog you’ve been meaning to get to. Update plugins. Ensure your blog is legally compliant.

Basically, get yourself super prepared for the glorious time when this unprecedented time is finally over!

Be Productive
Work on other projects you’ve not had time for.

Create a YouTube channel if it’s been on your To-Do list. Create freebies/printables for your audience. Make Throwback posts on social media. Beef up your email marketing and pre-plan your newsletters. Create new pins for old blog posts.

There are always things to do to get ahead.

 

 

Branch Out
Join blogging communities and Facebook Groups. Make friends with other bloggers in your niche. Help each other out by sharing posts, pins, and engaging on social media. Maybe write guest posts for each other.

Keep Going
Most importantly, don’t give up. Don’t stop and wait it out. Push forward and get creative.

I’m sure it’s so frustrating to watch your traffic (and income) tank. But this is only temporary. Do a little bit each day to grow your travel blog so you’re ready to hit the tarmac running when this is all over!

I hope you got some helpful travel blog post ideas to keep you going until this is all over.
