THE ORIGINAL STORY
Our vetted business idea of the week
Niche travel website 😊
Raise your hand if you've never bought a travel guidebook! Now raise your hand if you've bought one for all your recent trips!
Over the past years, the sales of traditional travel guidebooks, like Lonely Planet and similar publications, have steadily declined. As travelers, we now prefer to access and consume information in ways that differ from the past. Guidebooks were once indispensable resources; today not.
So far, so clear - nothing groundbreaking here. But where's the opportunity in all of this?
The opportunity lies in how we access information
The need to understand and explore a place during a trip hasn't disappeared; we've simply shifted to other sources of information!
In many cases, using niche websites or following travel influencers is more practical than relying on traditional guidebooks. For instance, a dedicated website for hiking trails in Switzerland or a travel influencer specializing in solo female travel offers focused advice that traditional guidebooks may lack.
Monetization Opportunities Are Endless
Here are just a few ways to generate income through online travel content:
Affiliate marketing: Collaborate with hotels, insurance providers, or experience-based services.
Sponsored content and advertising: Partner with local services that are easier to contact.
E-books: Write and sell detailed travel guides.
Collaborate with experience providers: Or even organize experiences yourself.
Create personalized guides on request.
And much more…
Even if you don’t want to become a travel influencer, think about the potential of a website dedicated to a single destination—perhaps where you live or where you grew up.
Below are some examples to inspire you!
