It’s time to update the links on the ‘Travel & Tourism blogs’ section.

Updated

Back in January Jens set up a new Wordpress powered blog and it now resides at http://tourisminternetmarketing.com/

Tourism tide has moved away from Blogger.com to Wordpress on a new domain at http://tourismtide.com/ – Similar move for ‘Travel & Tourism technology trends’ which is now at http://tourismtechnology.rezgo.com/

New

Albert Barra’s blog covering Hospitality Marketing, Social Media, Revenue Management, CCRM, and Online Distribution.

Ed Whiting’s remarks on the travel eCommerce and technology industry.

Great blog from Karin Schmollgruber at FastenYourSeatbelts.at – most of the blog is German but I’ve linked to the posts in English.

Added a link to wiwihblogs that lists and links the most recent posts from the wiwih community.

Isaac Mizrachi’s ‘E-Tourism is Here’ blog covering travel websites, web usability and tourism brochures.

I’ve also removed those not updated in the past three months.

Any more to add?

[UPDATE 13.05.08]

I’m a regular visitor at the Highland Business Research blog written by Vicky Brock& Stephen Budd

Three more blogs for you…

Alex Bainbridge has a blog about travel ecommerce with a spotlight on smaller tour operators. Not from the Twitter school of blogging, I like his in-depth posts. Alex runs Travel UCD, the business responsible for TourCMS, a web based reservation system for small tour operators.

Steve Wright is a tourism marketing consultant and blogs at ‘The Brand Canada Blog‘ and ‘Destination Branding Blog‘ and covers recent destination marketing campaigns.

Gerwin Gfrerer runs the Austrian blog eTourismus.info with an emphasis on reservation systems, destination management systems and online marketing in tourism.

Thanks to the T list I’ve come across two more online travel blogs:

Tom runs ‘Blog on Travel: Decrypting the Online Travel Industry‘. Started in July 2006 and with around 20 posts to date the blog already has over 250 readers.

Italy based Relactions have a blog about online travel marketing with a mixture of news and views including their highlights from the recent PhocusWright conference. A recent post lists a number of warning signs to look out for when choosing a SEO agency.

Based on the ‘Z list‘, Mathieu at Radar has started a ‘T list’ equivalent for travel and tourism blogs. The rationale is that bloggers taking part receive a link boost through improved ranking in search engines/Technorati and more people discover the blog by browsing other’s lists. [Read more →]

Xavier Cobos has a blog covering travel, tourism and destination branding. He has just got cracking but starts with a post on how the New Orleans CVB (Convention & Visitors Bureau) is undergoing an aggressive rebranding campaign.

Joe Buhler’s blog is titled ‘Travel and Tourism in the age of Web 2.0 | Destination Marketing Strategy & Analysis’. He posts regularly with news and experienced insights into the world of global destination marketing and beyond.

Started back in October of last year, Jens Thraenhart has already made over fifty posts covering eStrategies for the Travel and Tourism industry. He balances this well with the odd post and links to sites of general interest and online trends.
