Before I started travel writing I thought it would be an incredibly tough time to be one.
This is why there’s never been a better time to be a travel writer
In the past couple of months I’ve spoken to a number of travel writers and editors who have all said similar things. That yes, it’s tough being in the media at the moment. Budgets for writers haven’t increased in years.
But yet, advertising in the travel space is strong.
One editor told me that advertising in the travel section of their newspaper brings in 25 per cent of the paper’s overall revenue.
While other sections of newspapers like career, cars and entertainment have steadily shrunk, travel (and property) seem to be going gangbusters.
So what does this mean for aspiring travel writers?
It means that you shouldn’t give up on your dreams or aspirations of becoming a travel writer (even a part time one).
