Write for Us: Become a Travel Contributor

Have a travel story, expert insight, destination guide, aviation perspective, or practical piece of advice that could help people travel better?

Travelohlic welcomes original contributions from travelers, travel writers, journalists, photographers, destination experts, aviation enthusiasts, tourism professionals, and people with genuine firsthand experience.

We are interested in useful, accurate, experience-led stories—not articles written primarily for backlinks or promotion.

If you know a destination deeply, have learned something valuable on the road, can explain an important development in travel, or have expertise that could help our readers make better decisions, we would like to hear from you.

What We Publish

Travelohlic covers travel from both a practical and journalistic perspective.

We are particularly interested in contributions involving:

Destination Guides

Help travelers understand a place beyond the obvious tourist attractions.

Strong destination submissions can cover:

  • Things to do and places to visit

  • Local culture and traditions
  • Neighborhood guides

  • Outdoor adventures
  • Himalayan travel
  • Nature-based tourism

Safety information should be treated carefully and supported by reliable sources where appropriate.

What Makes a Strong Travelohlic Contribution?

A good Travelohlic article should give readers something they could not easily get from hundreds of nearly identical travel pages.

That could be:

Firsthand experience
You personally visited the destination, flew the route, used the service, completed the trek, attended the event, or experienced what you are writing about.

Professional expertise
You work in tourism, aviation, hospitality, travel technology, transportation, photography, destination management, or another relevant field.

Original reporting
You interviewed someone, collected original information, analyzed primary sources, or investigated a travel development.

Useful analysis
You can explain why a development matters rather than simply repeating an announcement.

Specific practical advice
You have detailed recommendations based on genuine knowledge rather than generic travel tips.

Contributor Guidelines

Before submitting an article, please follow these guidelines.

1. Submit Original Work

Your contribution must be original.

Do not submit articles copied from another website, lightly rewritten from existing articles, scraped from other publications, or previously published elsewhere unless agreed with our editorial team in advance.

2. Write for Travelers, Not Search Engines

We appreciate well-structured articles that people can discover through search, but the reader comes first.

Avoid:

  • Keyword stuffing
  • Repetitive SEO phrasing
  • Artificially long introductions
  • Generic filler
  • Clickbait that the article cannot support
  • Articles created primarily to insert links

Write naturally and answer the questions a real traveler would have.

3. Support Important Claims

Facts involving visas, entry requirements, aviation regulations, travel advisories, safety, government policies, statistics, prices, or rapidly changing travel conditions should be supported by reliable sources.

Whenever possible, use primary sources.

Examples include:

  • Government websites
  • Embassies and immigration authorities
  • Airlines
  • Airports
  • Aviation regulators
  • Tourism boards
  • Official transportation operators
  • Published research
  • Reputable industry organizations

4. Be Transparent About Personal Experience

If you personally visited a place, tell us when.

Firsthand details such as the route you took, season you visited, transportation you used, mistakes you made, costs you encountered, or lessons you learned can make an article significantly more useful.

Do not claim firsthand experience that you do not have.

5. Disclose Commercial Relationships

If your submission involves a company, hotel, tour operator, tourism board, airline, product, or destination with which you have a financial or professional relationship, disclose it when submitting the article.

Sponsored or commercially influenced material must never be presented as independent editorial coverage.

6. Links Must Help the Reader

Relevant links are welcome when they genuinely improve the article.

We may include links to:

  • Primary sources
  • Official resources
  • Supporting research
  • Useful references
  • Relevant contributor resources

Links added primarily for SEO, affiliate manipulation, link schemes, or promotion may be removed.

Submission does not guarantee publication of any requested link.

Travelohlic’s editorial team reserves the right to edit, add, remove, qualify, or change links when necessary.

7. No Promotional Articles Disguised as Editorial Content

We do not want articles whose main purpose is promoting a company, product, app, tour operator, hotel, agency, or commercial service.

If your organization wants commercial exposure, contact Travelohlic separately regarding advertising, sponsorship, or partnership opportunities.

Editorial contributions and commercial partnerships should remain clearly separated.

Recommended Article Length

There is no perfect word count.

Most useful contributions will generally fall between 800 and 2,500 words, depending on the subject.

A focused 900-word article with original information is more valuable than a 3,000-word article filled with repetition.

Depth matters more than length.

Images

Original photographs are encouraged, particularly for firsthand destination stories and travel guides.

Please only submit images that:

  • You own
  • You have permission to publish
  • Are licensed appropriately for publication

Include captions and, where relevant, the location where each photograph was taken.

Do not submit copyrighted images taken from Google Images, social media accounts, other publications, or websites without permission.

Author Bio

Accepted contributors may receive an author profile or contributor attribution where appropriate.

Please provide:

  • Your full name
  • A short professional biography
  • Your travel experience or relevant expertise
  • A profile photograph
  • Your website or professional profile, if applicable
  • Relevant social profiles, if applicable

We encourage contributors to explain why they are qualified to write about the subject they are covering.

Our Editorial Process

Submitting an article does not guarantee publication.

When reviewing submissions, Travelohlic may consider:

  • Originality
  • Accuracy
  • Reader usefulness
  • Firsthand expertise
  • Quality of sourcing
  • Writing quality
  • Relevance to our audience
  • Existing coverage on Travelohlic
  • Potential conflicts of interest

Accepted articles may be edited for clarity, grammar, structure, accuracy, formatting, headlines, search visibility, and house style.

Where a substantial factual question arises, we may ask the contributor for additional evidence or sourcing before publication.

Travelohlic may also update an article after publication when information changes.

Corrections and Accuracy

Travel information can change quickly.

Visa rules, airline schedules, entry requirements, fees, transportation services, travel advisories, and other information may change after an article is published.

Contributors should make every reasonable effort to provide accurate information at the time of submission.

If you discover an error in something you contributed, please contact our editorial team so it can be reviewed and corrected.

Accuracy matters more to us than protecting an old version of an article.

AI-Generated Content Policy

AI tools may assist writers with research organization, grammar, brainstorming, or editing, but contributors remain responsible for everything submitted under their name.

We do not want mass-produced, unverified, or generic AI-generated travel articles.

Every factual claim must still be checked.

Never use AI to invent:

  • Personal travel experiences
  • Interviews
  • Quotes
  • Sources
  • Statistics
  • Prices
  • Locations
  • Events
  • Reviews

Submitting fabricated information may result in rejection and removal from future contributor consideration.

Topics We Usually Reject

We generally do not publish:

  • Generic articles written only for backlinks
  • Casino or gambling content
  • Adult content
  • Cryptocurrency promotions unrelated to travel
  • Payday loans or financial promotions
  • Essay-writing services
  • Unverified medical or health advice
  • Thin affiliate articles
  • Press releases copied into article format
  • Automatically generated content
  • Plagiarized material
  • Articles containing fabricated travel experiences
  • Misleading or sensational claims
  • Content unrelated to travel, tourism, transportation, aviation, or destinations
