Write for Us Travel Agents and Tours: Travel Agents and Tours Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Most of what turns up for travel agents and tours write for us is travel contributor pages, and nearly all of them want destination stories: the beach, the food, the hidden street. Very few ask what it's like to run the agency or the tour company behind the trip. That's the gap this page fills. I want the operator's notebook: how you handle a supplier who goes quiet, how you build a group itinerary that survives a late flight, which booking tool you'd keep if you had to drop the rest.

My readers run small businesses, and some of them sell trips for a living or want to. They already lean on my guides to becoming a travel agent, the best hashtags for reaching new travel customers and booking websites for small businesses. They're not looking for somewhere to go. They're looking for a better way to run the desk.

60-second travel agents and tours guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Do you work as a travel agent, tour operator or group trip planner
• Is the post about running the business rather than describing a destination
• Does your opening answer the reader's question in the first two lines
• Have you kept out visa, immigration, insurance and legal advice
• If you mention software or suppliers, is it from your own day to day use

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• Building a tour product people can find and book
• Choosing booking and agency software for a small team
• Becoming an independent travel agent, from someone who did it

If your post could be published on any travel agents and tours site with the logo swapped, it is not for us.

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong travel agents and tours pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write the ultimate guide to the best islands to visit this summer." A strong one says "I run a small agency that plans group trips for walking clubs, and I want to explain how I build an itinerary with slack in it, what I send clients the week before they fly, and the supplier check I never skip." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• How a group planner builds slack into every itinerary
• The pre departure email that heads off most client questions
• Turning a walking route into a tour product people can book
• What an agent looks for before signing with a new supplier
• Booking software for a one person agency versus a growing team
• Going independent after years at a high street agency
• Writing tour pages that don't overpromise
• Keeping in touch with past clients without becoming a nuisance

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept travel agent and tour operator guest posts?

Yes. Guest posts from travel agents, tour operators and group trip planners are welcome when they cover the business: bookings, suppliers, itineraries and clients. We don't publish destination brochures or vendor written software promotion.

What travel agent topics do you accept?

Building bookable tour products, choosing agency and booking software, going independent, working with suppliers, planning group trips and handling client questions before departure. The test is simple: would another agent or operator run their week better after reading it?

Can I pitch a destination or travel story instead?

Destination stories, trip diaries and wider travel pitches suit the travel blogs page better, and aviation or events pitches have their own pages too. This page is for the people who sell and run the trips. Every pitch reaches the same editor either way.

How long should a guest post be?

Most accepted posts run between 1,200 and 2,000 words. Length matters less than usefulness: a tight 1,200 word post with one clear lesson beats a 3,000 word overview every time. Use short paragraphs, clear subheadings and at least one real example.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value for the reader are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn or a guest slot on another site. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before anything goes live.

Can I use AI tools to help write my guest post?

You can use AI to help with research or tidying your draft, but the experience, examples and opinions must be yours. Posts that read like generic AI output, with no first-hand detail, are declined.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long does a decision take?

We aim to come back to you within a few working days. If the pitch is specific and clearly written, with the result in the first line, the decision is much faster.

Do you edit guest posts before they go live?

Yes. Every accepted post gets an editorial pass for clarity, structure and accuracy, and you may be asked for an extra example or a missing number. The aim is to make your piece as useful as it can be, not to change your voice.

Can I pitch more than one idea?

Yes, but send them one at a time or as a short numbered list with one line each. The strongest pitch goes first, and a single clear idea with a real result almost always beats several vague ones.

How do I submit a travel agents and tours guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own experience working as a travel agent, tour operator or group trip planner. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
