Publisher · The Travel News

Travel connects people with unfamiliar places and cultures, while creating new industries and markets.

Since its founding on November 28, 2008, The Travel News has continued to document changes in travel and the tourism industry.

The media environment has moved from print to online and mobile, from search and social media to an era in which generative AI finds and organizes information.

Yet the fundamentals of journalism remain unchanged: go to the field, verify facts, and deliver information readers can trust.

We will continue to provide reliable travel information for travelers and meaningful news and data for tourism professionals.

From small local destinations to changes in the global tourism market, we will keep reporting and recording.
