Do you dream of becoming a travel writer? Want to establish yourself as an authority in travel and build your personal brand? Or perhaps you're looking for a writing internship to enhance your resume?

If your answer is 'yes' to any of these, Trip Planners India invites you to contribute articles to our website. As one of the largest travel media platforms, we reach larger readers each month. Whether it's personal travel experiences, cultural stories, or practical tips and recommendations (like "5 things not to do in London"), we welcome all forms of travel-related content.

Perhaps you’ve visited a place that stirred powerful emotions. Tell that story. Have you been to a stunning national park, or a remote location, or taken a long bicycle ride with a compelling narrative?

These can be essays, blog posts, or time-sensitive newsworthy topics, such as advice about an upcoming event or raising social awareness about a destination.

Creativity knows no bounds. The more you brainstorm, the more ideas will come. So, pick up your pen and start outlining.

What We’re Looking For:

The travel industry is evolving, with more people exploring new places. However, this also brings challenges like environmental impact and over-tourism. We encourage you to think critically about the stories you want to tell. What unique perspective can you offer that our readers haven’t seen before?

We prioritize quality in every submission. Excellent grammar is a given, but we also value a blend of sensitivity, wit, and creativity. When writing, consider these key points:

1. Real-Life Experiences 

Sharing your real-life experiences makes for unique content. It allows you to express your thoughts freely, show the destination through your eyes, and carve a niche for yourself as a writer.

Things to Keep in Mind

  • Storytelling vs. Incident Reporting: It's one thing to recount a trip, but will it interest others? Is your article just a chronological account of your trip, or does it offer something more? Does it convey a clear narrative? Are there characters that evoke emotions in the reader?
  • Unbiased Perspective: You might have disliked certain aspects of a place, but can you present it as a personal opinion without generalizing for everyone else?

2. Stories on Lands and Culture 

Contribute stories about lands and cultures that offer more than just facts. Infuse your writing with personal insights that bring these stories to life

Things to Keep in Mind

  • Is it worth telling? Is your content more than just information sourced online? Are you adding your unique perspective? For example, if you’re writing about the Tomatina Festival in Spain, can you offer insights beyond the basic facts?

3. Tips & Recommendations:

Provide well-researched, unbiased advice that can guide travelers. Whether it's a list of haunted places or travel do's and don'ts, ensure your content is informative and impactful.

Things to Keep in Mind

  • Have you thoroughly researched your topic? Your writing can influence others—are you using that power responsibly?
  • Are you positioning yourself as a thought leader or just another tourist like your readers?

4. Informational Articles

Many people search for travel information online, seeking recommendations from a neutral source. They want honest opinions about destinations, accommodations, and experiences. This is why we see articles like "Top 10 places to visit in manali, things to do in Kashmir, how to reach Kerala, honeymoon places in India” etc.
