Destination Guides Writers
- As a destination expert, write about your country (or a destination you have explored in a good way) and cover it from as many angles as possible.
- Think deep about tourism in your country. Some of the thoughts can be: How [Destination X] can attract more tourists? (What government initiatives would be required?) What is it that [Destination X] offers to foreign tourists that no other country offers? What social causes and awareness the world at large needs to know about [Destination X] (Travel is a fun activity but one thing we want to do differently on The Art Of Travel is to link each destination with its social causes and therefore, bring public awareness.)
- Don’t assume just going somewhere is a reason to write an article. Even remote corners of the globe are visited by more writers than we need. (We all have seen enough articles on Iceland and Antarctica to last a lifetime.) Unless you’re going to the Moon or Mars, try to find a good story angle. That’s what we are looking for. For example: Is there some attraction right off Machu Picchu that nobody ever visits—but should? Could you spend a couple of days with people who actually live illegally (or legally) inside the Grand Canyon or in the Yosemite National Parks? Can you tell their stories? Tell those stories. Is there a stonemason doing repairs on the Taj Mahal who is descended from one of the original masons?
- Be a journalist at heart. Be a creative writer. You have to merge the two. Wherever you are going, whatever you are writing, dig for something that our readers will find refreshing.
