The 10 Best Designed Tourism Websites in the World 2022

Mary Ann Ha , Skift

June 15th, 2022 at 2:30 AM EDT

In a frantic attempt to avoid being left behind, official tourism organization websites are doing their best to catch up to the high expectations of the new traveler — tourists of the post-pandemic digital age.

Mary Ann Ha

Almost every tourist these days is making decisions about their travels based on what they see online. From themed trips to budgeted food tours, travelers crave previews of potential destinations and surf the internet to learn anything they can about a new and exciting spot.

Due to intense levels of pent-up travel demand followed by impulsive and impatient post-pandemic travelers, tourism website design is more important now than ever before. The competitive space for well-designed websites is more ambitious, and reliance on digital platforms as a dependable resource for travel inspiration is at an all-time high. Looking at the Gen Z traveler, it’s easy to notice that attention spans have shortened immensely, and tourists are treating trip planning like a shopping experience, picking and choosing elements of their vacations after engaging in a few seconds of appeal.

With that being said, tourism organizations are slowly learning that the old ways simply don’t work anymore — paragraphs of information on the screen, redirection that continues tab after tab, slow and clunky navigational experiences, depressing color palettes, and promotional descriptions of sites that don’t answer any of the truly important questions, especially for a more conscious traveler worried about climate change, and other threats.

After two years of rapidly-evolving digital growth, several websites have succeeded in breaking out of that dull and repetitive cycle. Here is Skift’s 2022 list of best designed tourism websites — ones that hit the spot both visually and navigationally, and are taking note of what the modern traveler wants, how they think, and most importantly, how they behave.

1. Visit Iceland

tourism webpage

The clean-cut and minimalistic nature of Nordic graphic design works well to communicate visual appeal, send concise messages with clarity (or humor), and entice further curiosity with minimal effort, especially in the website world. Visit Iceland leads our list with a transitional homepage display, decorated with background images that hover along the page as they overlap and interact with the text on the screen, making the website feel inviting and alive.

As users scroll further down, the website displays excellent examples of utilizing the organized nature of drop-down menus and vertically moving lists. With a clean white background and bold capitalized black font, readers are able to quickly catch sight of what they want to read, without feeling overwhelmed by options. Blog articles of potential itineraries and Iceland travel tips are also organized in a format reminiscent of Youtube, integrated with carousel elements that are easy to view via mobile phone. 

Accessibility to greener travel options within the website is always a plus — Visit Iceland has an entire page dedicated to helping travelers join in on Iceland’s commitment to preserving their nature, including a list of environmentally certified businesses, a carbon footprint calculator, and an easy-to-follow list of tips for sustainable travel in Iceland.

2. Visit California

tourism webpage

While the homepage might look typical at first glance, Visit California’s “Experience California” layout is one of the best designs we’ve seen in the tourism website game. Swipe left as soon as you get onto the landing page (a surprising, but not too complicated way to navigate the site, which keeps visitors engaged), and users are immediately whisked into a three-dimensional space to explore what the state of California has to offer to their tourists.

To the new millennial and Gen Z traveler, design and aesthetic can be just as or more important as destination information and travel guidance. Interactive visuals and bold colors speak to the character of California as a vacation spot, filled with globally cultural experiences and advanced businesses in design and technology — adding to the visitor’s impression of what a trip to California could be like. 

As the home of Los Angeles and the land of influencers, Visit California also fully embraces the use of User-Generated Content as a promotional tool, and displays this in an easy-to-digest format.

3. Z ürich Tourism

tourism webpage

Speaking of Nordic graphic design and user-generated content, the official website for the city of Zurich is another example of the excellent use of white space. Dedication to sans serif typography, a two-to-three cool tone color palette, and an extremely simplistic, clean layout keeps visitors from feeling overwhelmed and allows for a breathing space to go through all the activities offered on the website. 

Beneath several of the suggested activities, restaurants, and bars, the Zurich website also labels whether the business is open or the service is being offered in real time, a unique feature that can be extremely helpful for travelers who are looking for last minute places to enjoy or spontaneously plan a day trip.

Their user-generated content page is a delightfully neat design, with the page tab linked as a single hashtag in the top menu. The entire page acts as a unified social media feed, making all their social media coverage on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram visually accessible in one view.

3. Visit Brazil

tourism webpage

Visit Brazil has all information and links available on their homepage, split into four sections: Experiences, Destinations, Regions, and Travel Information. 

Aesthetically, a framework of yellow is filled with a line-up of action-packed visuals, picture and video, and a section dedicated to Instagram content. They know their visitors, and they recognize that in-your-face video content appeals to those who are looking for some sort of adventure. The video that takes up the entire homepage display keeps visitors engaged at initial glance, and while the website prioritizes promoting their adventurous activities, they balance “fun” with “necessity” and make sure to give easy access to the safety information travelers will need to know when coming to Brazil.

tourism webpage

We all know New York City could be its own state, with experience offerings that are equivalent to those of a country.

Set up like a booking site, the NYCgo’s most impressive elements include the UX framework that is deeply familiar to the modern traveler — searching for hotels or accommodations via a search engine reminiscent to short-term rental or airline sites, being able to “like” and save posts or articles for later referral, and of course, a function that offers filtered options to find activities and locations catered to the visitor’s personal preference.

tourism webpage

The bold, graffiti-like font that covers the homepage and is used throughout the website is simple, which is a necessary move considering how much text is on the front page. It’s also a great aesthetic choice, a subtle way of speaking to the headlines that cover billboards in NYC. While the website offers slews of information on the homepage, the way it is formatted and presented to the user keeps the aesthetic uncluttered and down-to-earth.

6. Visit Finland

tourism webpage

From the logo, to overall design, to choice of font, Visit Finland’s website displays similarities to another extremely popular rental booking site, but when it comes to approachability and visual appeal, borrowing those design elements works in their favor.

The website is a smooth, transparent, and, of course, familiar experience — one that is both modular and linear, showing dedication to navigational simplicity. The design does not shy away from white space and minimalism much like its Nordic counterparts also on this list. Complete use of full-screen photos and stunning imagery is a highlight, as well as the level of scroll-responsive interactivity visitors experience as they explore the site. 

This website also displays various Finnish activities and locations through the save/heart feature, referencing a user experience often seen in online shopping or Pinterest mood boards. The layout feels particularly responsive to the nature of the Gen Zers who spend all their time on social media “saving” posts and ideas.

7. Visit Australia

tourism webpage

Like we’ve seen on other websites on the list, the Visit Australia website is hugely loyal to the tile format, which could feel silly if overused, but because the tiles are lined up and sectioned in a cohesive manner, visitors will find it extremely easy to find options for each and every aspect of destination planning. The homepage is lined with left-right carousels of vertical images, appealing to younger generations and optimized for mobile formats.

Drop down menus are also a highlight for this website design. Instead of cluttering the frame with an overwhelming amount of text, the tile format keeps the menu options visually engaging for the user. Integration of beautiful imagery within every step of the user experience shows great dedication towards marketing the destination, which is, ultimately the main purpose of a tourism organization. 

The Visit Australia website offers everything, from itineraries and cultural or geographical activity guides to budgeting and accommodation deals. Recognizing that budget is an important factor for many travelers is also a major plus for any tourism website, as it keeps website visitors within the website instead of browsing other platforms for “best or most affordable deals”. 

Perhaps the highlight of the site is Explore Australia in 8D, an interactive exploratory experience that allows visitors to move through a map of the entire mainland of Australia, including a few islands surrounding the area, and see what each region has to offer, from attractions to lodging and food.

tourism webpage

As much as Peru is receiving growing interest as a travel destination in recent years, the country also seems to be extremely conscious about communicating COVID safety measures and restrictions to potential tourists. The immediate landing page of the tourism website gives visitors easy access to ways to prepare and plan for a trip to Peru from home, beginning with multiple avenues to check and double check updated Covid protocols. Showing this level of diligence to Covid measures not only communicates the fact that Peru takes safety protocols seriously, but also allows for international travelers to cross ‘testing or vaccination requirements’, still a major concern at this time, off their list of potential worries.

The team at Peru Travel also takes advantage of the numerous recognitions, media coverage, and awards that Peru receives as a tourism destination, and pushes that at the forefront of their website design. 

The most exciting part of the website is perhaps the VR page, called Peru 360, where one can “visit” various sites throughout Peru in a virtual reality. While this is a method that has grown in popularity amongst a lot of brands during the pandemic, very few official tourism websites have been successful in offering a well-established experience that feels interactive beyond typical images or videos. 

9. Visit Italy

tourism webpage

Italy has long-been a tourist-heavy destination, and the team at Visit Italy knows it. At the forefront of their website are easy ways to search, budget, and book the top tourist attractions through the best deals. Viewers barely need to scroll down the homepage before getting immediate access to the Ticket Carousel, with exact prices listed by attraction or location.

Visit Italy’s website isn’t the most ambitious platform design-wise, but it prioritizes digestible formats, such as buttons for each step in planning or tiled carousels, and feels easy-to-navigate overall, especially considering all the information on their homepage.

It’s clear that the website knows what their visitors need — to beat lines, to get the best prices, and to make the most of their time in one of the most famous cities in the world that Italy has to offer. The site is ideal for the tourist who needs to prioritize planning and booking over aesthetic photo inspirations. The website also acts as a search engine of sorts, and does not shy away from redirecting their visitors to other booking sites or options in order to make the best decisions.

10. Visit Greenland

Visit Greenland’s website also sets up like a familiar search engine site (a trend we are observing across most of the designs on this list) but serves mostly for travel inspiration and local informational purposes. The layout of the website is simple and loyal to the use of white space, which allows for their unique graphic design elements to shine through in this particular design. 

tourism webpage

Not only are the three-dimensional illustrations beautiful, but they are also interactive, acting as links to the respective relative pages. 

Aside from engaging geographic and cultural graphics, the website also lines up options of various package tours that lead to external provider links, who are more well-versed in helping potential visitors move forward in their planning and exploration process. Because Greenland is a nature-heavy travel destination, the website focuses on displaying a variety of outdoor activities — based on personal interests or geographical location — in order to prevent travelers from feeling deprived of diverse activities. 

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Innovative methods in the digital world are getting increasing ambitious day by day and website designs are trying to be as responsive as possible, as to make sure they maintain their presence in the travel planning space.

In addition to the websites on our list, several other tourism organizations are diving into unique measures to gain attention from the ever-so-hungry tourist of the post-pandemic travel world. Interactive games, like Cape Town’s Virtual Game Tourism Campaign , are one of the few ways these organizations hope to attract younger audiences and give a virtual taste of their destination to potential travelers. The Machu Pichu 360 website invites visitors to enter the world of VR and includes auditory stimulants, a step up from the Peru 360 page in our list, that engages both eyes and ears to fill the void travelers have all been experiencing during Covid.

With the competitive space for tourism websites expanding at an increasing speed and mobile apps taking the spotlight from website platforms , tourism organizations and designers will most likely continue to borrow elements of the newly digital world to keep their platforms running.

14 best travel and tourism websites to inspire your own

While the pandemic affected many industries, it irrevocably changed the travel and tourism sector. As the World Economic Forum reports , “In 2020 alone, the [tourism] sector lost $4.5 trillion and 62 million jobs, impacting the living standards and well-being of communities across the globe. Moreover, the halt in international travel gave both leisure and business travelers the chance to consider the impact of their choices on the climate and environment.”

That being said, airline ticket prices are starting to rise again and airports are struggling to keep up with demand. Furthermore, amid current economic and environmental shifts, more travelers are seeking sustainable tourism options—and the industry has begun to adapt.

Whether you’re new to tourism—curating local experiences or renting out your home—or a travel veteran who has weathered the storm of tourism woes, there’s no better time to create a website for your tourism and travel types of businesses - its the perfect service business idea . We’ve compiled a list of some of the best travel websites, plus a few tips on what to include on your own.

Travel and tourism website design tips

Whether you have created a hotel website  starting from scratch or you are updating your current travel website, keep these design tips in mind.

Include a logo.  A logo can help establish consistency for your brand’s online presence. A good logo should communicate the crux of your destination, tour company or rental and help visitors make a positive association with your business before they even arrive. You can use a free logo maker  to design a logo for your travel website, plus use it for business cards, brochures, branded merchandise and social media channels.

Ensure a cohesive design.  Select a representative color palette for your brand and stick to it throughout your travel website’s visual identity. For example, if you run a natural spa getaway, stick to tranquil and calming colors over rugged and earthy tones that better match an extreme sports tour guide. With Wix’s editor's site and theme design , you can customize your website colors, fonts and images and maintain a cohesive look with automatic theme updates across your site’s pages. Also check out some of these general website examples  for inspiration.

Use images.  For prospective travelers planning their future getaways, high-quality images can immediately transport them to your destination. We recommend ​​using  JPEG ,  PNG  and GIF files for images to appear their best on your site.

Don’t overload pages.  Travel is all about the escape. Make your site’s user experience just as relaxing as traveling should be—don’t overload it with superfluous content or features. Tip:  Build your travel website with Wix website performance  at its core. Sites offer better page load speed plus Wix’s site speed dashboard  to test, analyze and optimize your site’s performance for both desktop and mobile.

Think about site hierarchy.  As visitors explore your site, you want them to receive relevant information and experience your offering efficiently. Prioritize your main pages and create menus, headers and subheaders that clearly reflect this hierarchy. Not only will this create a better user experience (and hopefully convert visitors to customers), but it will also make it easier for Google’s search engine robots to scan and index your pages.

Make it mobile friendly.  Mobile accounts for approximately half  of web traffic worldwide, meaning potentially half (or more) of visitors will explore your website via their devices. Creating a mobile-friendly travel and tourism website will ensure a better experience, regardless of device. Tip:  The Wix Editor automatically creates a mobile version for every website  it designs.

Lean into templates : Templates are a great way to create a design-friendly travel and tourism website in an efficient way. Here's a selection of our favorite travel and tourism templates from Wix: Travel services templates , Travel agency template , Food and travel website templates , Travel blog template , Travel documentary templates , Hotel and BnB website templates.

Consider SEO.  If you optimize your travel website content to rank on search engines, you can increase your traffic. How? First, target specific keywords. For example, think of your prospective travelers: what questions or phrases might they search for that could lead them to your tourism website? Integrate these keywords into your website content. Tip:  Check out Wix SEO features  or the Wix SEO hub  for more detailed steps that’ll help your travel website perform better on search engines.

Maintain your travel website . Just as you care for your hotel or tours, you need to apply the same TLC to your website. Fresh and up-to-date content (like prices and current links) can help users get the most out of their experience.

Try out new technologies.  Following the latest travel technology trends , try integrating a chat bot for quick responses and user engagement or use 3D/AR viewer  to give users a virtual tour of your destination.

About the author

PS: If you decide to purchase a tool I recommend, I get a small commission at no extra cost to you.

Checklist: 5 ways to make your tourism website beautiful and highly converting

1. design mobile first.

Last year over 52% of all the website traffic worldwide came from mobile devices.

More than half of the website visits are on a mobile device.

This percentage will only increase in the coming years, therefore the mobile design of your website is crucial for the success of your tourism business.

When designing your website, think about the mobile design before you build your desktop website.

2. Whitespace is king

Remember the last time you read a book which had:

  • Long sentences
  • Never ending paragraphs
  • A small font size

Did you like it? Probably not.

Give your visitors a pleasant user experience and use lots of ‘breath’ throughout your design.

Just like your paragraphs shouldn’t be too long, add some whitespace between each block of your website.

Your visitors need small breaks when scrolling down your website.

It helps your visitors to absorb information and it gives a clean look to your website.

3. Don’t break the 5 second rule

The moment a visitor lands on your website you only have 5 seconds to make a good impression.

That’s 5 short seconds to convince your visitor to stay on your website – and don’t hit the ‘back’ button.

Make sure the text on your website is appealing and gets your visitor excited. Don’t waste the first 5 seconds of somebody’s visit with unnecessary fluff.

4. Showcase your work with great images

When you’re hiring someone to do something which is important to you, you want to make sure they do it right.

And sure, they can tell you they’re the best at what they do. But wouldn’t it be better to see some proof?

Your visitors think just like this. That’s why you need to establish social proof by showcasing previous tours with great images and videos.

When it comes to creating social proof, more is better. This goes for the entire tourism industry.

5. Watch people using your website without telling them what do do

Once your website is ready it’s time to launch. Well, almost.

Invite some friends or colleagues and put them in front of a computer. Ask them to pretend to be a potential customer and have them visit your website.

Now sit next to them, and don’t say anything (this will be harder than you think).

Do this with at least 5 people and learn from their behaviour:

  • Did they follow the steps you expected them to?
  • Did your website load fast enough?
  • Was everything clear to them?

Growth hacking: 3 powerful strategies to promote your tourism website

1. use paid advertising.

Yes. This one is super obvious. But when used well this can be the biggest source of quick growth for your business. Let’s say every client brings you $100 in profit. And let’s say 1 out of every 100 clients becomes a client. That means you’re allowed to spend $1 to acquire a website visitor.

Now let’s say you’re running Facebook ads and you only pay $0.60 for a visitor.

That means you’re profiting $0.40 on every person who visits your website. I’d say, start spending on paid advertising!

2. Use local SEO

SEO is a great way to attract local clients. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization and helps you to get free website traffic through search engines.

Check out these articles about local SEO if you you want to learn more about this:

  • https://ahrefs.com/blog/local-seo/
  • https://moz.com/learn/seo/local

3. Target hot traffic with retargeting ads

A potential client is looking for a tour  and stumbled upon your website. But after scrolling through your website for 30 seconds, he or she got a phone call from a friend. After calling for 20 minutes they forgot about your website and they close down their computer.

That’s why I use retargeting advertisements to bring back these lost leads.

This will enable you to display advertisements to people who visited your website.

Just install a Facebook pixel on your website to target all your website visitors with an advertisement on Facebook or Instagram .

What makes a good tourism website?

A tour operator design should have a clean design, be easy to navigate and include a lot of social proof. Have a look at this page for great example websites.

How to create a tourism website?

  • Analyze the best examples on this page
  • Make notes of what you like – and what you don’t like
  • Design your own site with this drag & drop website builder 
  • Publish your website with our recommended hosting platform .

How much does a tourism website cost?

A web designer will charge anywhere between $2500 and $4000 for a decent website. However, this article will teach you to do it yourself for less than $100.

What information is needed on a tourism website?

Your website will need at least the following pages: ‘Home, About us, Contact, Tour overview. To create trust with your visitor it’s important to show lots of pictures of your products.

For several years, tourism has been a significant contributor to the global economy, and many countries rely on this sector for their GDP growth. However, the COVID-19 pandemic presented an unparalleled challenge to the industry in 2020. With most countries imposing travel restrictions or in lockdown, tourism faced immense pressure to stay afloat.

With the internet being the primary source of information for many people, travel websites have become crucial in providing comprehensive details about tourism services and attractions. It’s no wonder that tourism companies invest heavily in their online platforms, ensuring they are as user-friendly as possible.

As a web design agency that has worked with various travel agencies, we understand the importance of creating exceptional travel websites in 2023. We’ve compiled a list of some of the best travel website designs to get you inspired.

Captivating Travelers: Must-Have Features for an Outstanding Tourism Website

Before we start exploring the best travel websites, let’s define what makes a great tourism platform and what features you should consider when designing one in 2023.

  • Visually Appealing Design: A clean, modern, and visually appealing design is crucial for capturing visitors’ attention. High-quality images and videos showcasing the destination’s highlights, culture, and natural beauty are essential for evoking a sense of wanderlust.
  • Easy Navigation: A user-friendly interface with clear navigation menus and a logical site structure ensures that visitors can quickly find the information they’re looking for. Including a search function, filters, and categorization of content can further enhance the browsing experience.
  • Mobile Responsiveness: A responsive design ensures that the website is accessible and functional on various devices, including smartphones and tablets. This is important as a significant portion of users access websites on mobile devices, especially while traveling.
  • Informative Content: Provide detailed, up-to-date, and accurate information about the destination’s attractions, accommodations, restaurants, and activities. Content should be written in a captivating and engaging manner, enticing visitors to explore and plan their trip.
  • Multilingual Support: Offering content in multiple languages increases the website’s accessibility to a broader audience, ensuring that travelers from different linguistic backgrounds can comfortably navigate and understand the information provided.
  • Interactive Maps: Incorporate interactive maps that allow users to explore the destination, find nearby attractions, and get directions. This helps visitors plan their routes and visualize the proximity of various points of interest.
  • Personalization: Personalized recommendations based on users’ preferences and interests can enhance the user experience and make the website more relevant to individual visitors.
  • Social Media Integration: Incorporate social media sharing buttons and feeds, allowing users to share their favorite attractions, accommodations, and experiences with their networks. This not only amplifies the destination’s reach but also adds a layer of social proof.
  • Reviews and Testimonials: Including reviews and testimonials from previous visitors adds credibility to the website and helps potential travelers make informed decisions about their trip.
  • Online Booking and Reservation System: A seamless and secure online booking system for accommodations, tours, and activities simplifies the planning process for travelers and increases the likelihood of them making reservations directly through the website.
  • Contact Information and Support: Provide clear contact information and support options, such as email, phone, or live chat, to assist visitors with any questions or concerns they may have while planning their trip.

By integrating these features, a tourism website can effectively engage visitors, provide valuable information, and ultimately inspire them to book their next adventure.

We will cover all the essential steps, from planning and domain selection to content creation, SEO optimization, and launching your website. So, let’s get started on this exciting journey!

Whether you are a travel agency, a hotel, a tour operator, a destination marketer, or an individual with a passion for travel, having a well-designed and optimized tourism website can greatly benefit your business. In today’s digital age, travelers turn to the internet to research, plan, and book their vacations. Therefore, a strong online presence is essential to capture their attention and convert them into customers.

In this article, we will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to create a tourism website that stands out from the crowd. We will cover everything from planning and domain selection to content creation, design, and search engine optimization (SEO). By following these steps, you will be able to create a compelling website that attracts visitors and boosts your online visibility.

So, whether you are starting from scratch or looking to revamp your existing website, let’s dive into the world of tourism website creation and discover how you can take your travel business to new heights.

Step 1: Planning your tourism website

Before diving into the technical aspects of website creation, it’s important to start with a clear plan. Proper planning will ensure that your website aligns with your goals and caters to your target audience. Here are some key considerations to keep in mind:

  • Define your target audience: Determine the type of travelers you want to attract. Are you targeting adventurous backpackers, luxury travelers, or families? Understanding your audience will help you tailor your website content and design accordingly.
  • Set clear goals: What do you want to achieve with your tourism website? Whether it’s to increase bookings, generate leads, or provide information, clearly define your goals to guide your website development process.
  • Research your competitors: Take a look at other tourism websites in your niche to get insights into design trends, content strategies, and user experience. This will help you identify gaps and find unique ways to differentiate your website.
  • Create a sitemap: A sitemap is a visual representation of the structure of your website. It outlines the main pages, categories, and sub-categories. Mapping out your website structure will help you organize your content and ensure easy navigation for visitors.
  • Plan your website sections: Based on your target audience and goals, decide what sections your website will have. Common sections for a tourism website include destinations, tours, accommodations, activities, and travel tips.
  • Think about user experience: Put yourself in the shoes of your website visitors. Consider how they will navigate your website, what information they will be looking for, and how you can make their experience intuitive and enjoyable.

By carefully planning your tourism website, you lay the foundation for a successful online presence. It sets the stage for the next steps of domain selection, content creation, and design. Remember, a well-thought-out plan will save you time and effort in the long run and ensure that your website effectively serves your target audience.

Step 2: Choosing a domain name and web hosting

Once you have a clear plan for your tourism website, it’s time to choose a domain name and web hosting provider. Your domain name is the address that visitors will use to access your website, while web hosting is the service that allows your website to be accessible on the internet. Here’s what you need to consider:

  • Choose a memorable domain name: Your domain name should be easy to remember, relevant to your business, and preferably include keywords related to your tourism niche. Avoid using numbers, hyphens, or confusing spellings that may make it harder for visitors to find you.
  • Select a reputable web hosting provider: Look for a hosting provider that offers reliable and secure hosting services. Consider factors such as server uptime, customer support, scalability, and pricing. Read reviews and compare different options to make an informed decision.
  • Consider your website’s scalability: If you plan on growing your tourism business in the future, consider a hosting provider that offers room for scalability. This will ensure that your website can handle increased traffic and accommodate new features as your business expands.
  • Check for domain availability: Before finalizing your domain name, make sure it’s available. Conduct a domain name search to ensure that there are no trademarks or legal issues associated with your chosen name.
  • Opt for SSL security: In today’s digital landscape, website security is crucial. Look for a hosting provider that offers SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificates to encrypt sensitive data and ensure a secure browsing experience for your visitors.
  • Consider additional features: Some hosting providers offer additional features such as email hosting, website backups, and website builders. Evaluate these features based on your requirements and choose a provider that offers the best value for your tourism website.

Choosing the right domain name and web hosting provider is a critical step in the creation of your tourism website. Your domain name represents your brand, while your hosting provider determines the availability and performance of your website. Take your time to research and choose wisely to set a strong foundation for your online presence.

Step 3: Selecting a content management system (CMS)

A content management system (CMS) is a software that allows you to manage and organize the content on your website without the need for technical expertise. Choosing the right CMS is crucial as it determines the ease of website management, scalability, and flexibility. Here are some popular CMS options for your tourism website:

  • WordPress: WordPress is one of the most widely used CMS platforms, known for its user-friendly interface and extensive plugin options. It offers a wide range of themes and templates specifically designed for tourism websites. WordPress also offers robust SEO plugins to optimize your website for search engines.
  • Joomla: Joomla is another popular CMS that provides a balance between simplicity and flexibility. It offers a range of extensions and templates to customize your website. Joomla is known for its strong user community and multilingual capabilities, making it suitable for tourism websites catering to international audiences.
  • Drupal: Drupal is a powerful CMS that offers a high level of customization and scalability. It is suitable for tourism websites that require complex functionality and data management. However, Drupal has a steeper learning curve compared to other CMS options.
  • Magento: If your tourism website involves e-commerce functionalities, Magento is a preferred CMS choice. It offers advanced features for managing product listings, inventory, and customer transactions. Magento is known for its scalability and robustness, making it suitable for large-scale tourism businesses.

When selecting a CMS for your tourism website, consider the specific needs of your business and the expertise of your team. Factors to consider include ease of use, available plugins and extensions, community support, security, and ongoing maintenance requirements. You may also consult with a web development professional to assess which CMS best suits your goals and technical capabilities.

By selecting the right CMS for your tourism website, you’ll have a powerful tool to manage and update your content effortlessly. This will save you time and effort in the long run, allowing you to focus on providing engaging and informative content to your visitors.

Step 4: Designing the layout and structure of the website

The design of your tourism website plays a crucial role in attracting and engaging visitors. It should be visually appealing, user-friendly, and aligned with your brand image. Here are some key considerations when designing the layout and structure of your website:

  • Choose a visually appealing theme: Select a theme or template that aligns with the image you want to portray. Consider the color scheme, typography, and overall aesthetics of the theme. Ensure that it is responsive, meaning it adapts to different screen sizes and devices.
  • Create a clear and intuitive navigation: Visitors should be able to easily navigate through your website and find the information they’re looking for. Keep the menu structure simple and organized. Use descriptive labels and consider including dropdown menus for subcategories.
  • Focus on user experience: Put yourself in the shoes of your website visitors and think about how they will interact with your site. Make sure the layout is clean and uncluttered, with important information and call-to-action buttons easily visible. Optimize page loading speed to ensure a smooth browsing experience.
  • Incorporate captivating visuals: Use high-quality images and videos that showcase the beauty of your destinations or the amenities of your accommodations. Visual content is a powerful tool to capture the attention of visitors and inspire them to explore further.
  • Highlight unique selling points: Identify the unique aspects of your tourism business and showcase them prominently on your website. This could be special tours, exclusive experiences, or personalized customer service. Emphasize these points to differentiate yourself from competitors.
  • Include clear calls-to-action: Guide visitors towards the desired actions, whether it’s booking a tour, subscribing to a newsletter, or contacting you. Use prominent buttons, engaging copy, and persuasive language to encourage conversions.
  • Optimize for mobile: More and more people are browsing the internet on their mobile devices. Ensure that your website is mobile-friendly and offers a seamless experience across different screen sizes. Test your website on various devices to ensure responsiveness.

When designing your website’s layout and structure, focus on creating a visually appealing and user-friendly experience. Think about how to make information easily accessible, engage visitors through visuals, and guide them towards taking action. By investing time and effort into the design process, you’ll create a tourism website that captivates visitors and encourages them to explore all that your business has to offer.

Step 5: Creating engaging and informative content

Content is the backbone of your tourism website. It’s what provides value to your visitors and helps them make informed decisions. Creating engaging and informative content is essential for attracting and retaining your target audience. Here’s how you can craft compelling content for your tourism website:

  • Know your audience: Understand who your target audience is and tailor your content to their interests and needs. Research their demographics, preferences, and pain points to create content that resonates with them.
  • Provide destination guides: Create detailed guides for popular destinations, including information on attractions, activities, accommodations, local cuisine, and transportation. Include insider tips and recommendations to help visitors plan their trips.
  • Showcase your expertise: Position yourself as a trusted authority in the tourism industry by sharing your expertise and insights. Create blog posts, articles, or videos that offer valuable travel tips, packing guides, safety advice, or cultural information.
  • Include customer testimonials: Feature testimonials from satisfied customers to build trust and credibility. Highlight positive experiences and showcase how your tourism services have enhanced their travel experiences.
  • Utilize storytelling: Engage your audience by telling stories that evoke emotions and create a connection. Share personal experiences, anecdotes, or success stories to make your content more relatable and memorable.
  • Optimize for SEO: Incorporate relevant keywords throughout your content to improve your website’s visibility in search engine rankings. However, prioritize creating high-quality, user-focused content that provides value over keyword stuffing.
  • Include captivating visuals: Enhance your content with attention-grabbing images, videos, and infographics. Visual content not only adds visual appeal but also helps convey information more effectively.
  • Update regularly: Keep your website fresh and engaging by regularly adding new content. This could be through blog posts, news updates, or seasonal promotions. Regular updates not only keep visitors coming back but also improve your search engine rankings.

By focusing on creating engaging and informative content, you’ll be able to capture the attention of your target audience and establish your tourism website as a valuable resource. Remember to keep your content relevant, authentic, and aligned with your brand identity to create a memorable experience for your visitors.

Step 6: Integrating multimedia elements (photos, videos)

One of the most effective ways to engage and entice visitors to your tourism website is through the use of multimedia elements such as photos and videos. These visual components can showcase the beauty of destinations, bring experiences to life, and inspire potential travelers. Here’s how you can integrate multimedia elements into your website:

  • Capture stunning photography: Invest in high-quality professional photography that showcases the unique features of your destinations, accommodations, or tours. Striking images can capture the attention of visitors and encourage them to explore further.
  • Create captivating videos: Videos offer an immersive experience and can convey the excitement and thrill of your tourism offerings. Produce videos that highlight key attractions, showcase customer testimonials, or provide virtual tours to give potential visitors a taste of what to expect.
  • Optimize media for fast loading: Compress images and videos without compromising quality to ensure fast loading times. Slow-loading media can lead to a negative user experience and increase bounce rates.
  • Organize media into galleries and slideshows: Group related photos or videos into visually appealing galleries or slideshows. This allows visitors to easily browse through multiple images or videos without overwhelming the page.
  • Embed videos from platforms such as YouTube or Vimeo: Instead of hosting videos directly on your website, consider embedding them from popular video platforms. This helps reduce bandwidth and improves overall website performance.
  • Add captions and descriptions: Provide context and information for your multimedia elements by adding captions or descriptions. This helps visitors understand the significance of the visuals and enhances their overall experience.
  • Encourage user-generated content: Get your audience involved by encouraging them to share their travel photos or videos on your website or social media platforms. User-generated content adds authenticity and showcases real experiences.
  • Consider virtual reality (VR) or 360-degree imagery: For a truly immersive experience, consider utilizing virtual reality or 360-degree imagery. This allows visitors to explore destinations or accommodations from different angles, giving them a sense of being there.

By incorporating multimedia elements into your tourism website, you can create a visually captivating experience for your visitors. Striking photography, engaging videos, and other visual media can inspire and persuade potential travelers to choose your offerings over competitors. Remember to optimize media for fast loading and ensure that the visuals are authentic, appealing, and aligned with your brand identity.

Step 7: Incorporating booking and reservation features

For many tourism businesses, the ability to accept online bookings and reservations is crucial to their success. By incorporating booking and reservation features into your website, you can streamline the booking process, boost conversions, and provide a convenient experience for your customers. Here’s how you can implement these features:

  • Choose a reliable booking system: Select a booking system or plugin that caters to the specific needs of your tourism business. Look for features such as availability calendars, multiple payment options, and booking confirmation notifications. Do thorough research and choose a system that integrates well with your website’s CMS.
  • Create clear and comprehensive booking forms: Design user-friendly booking forms that are easy to fill out. Include fields for important details, such as dates, number of participants, preferred accommodations, and any special requirements. Make sure to ask for contact information so you can easily reach out to customers if needed.
  • Showcase availability and pricing: Provide real-time availability updates for your tours, accommodations, or services. Clearly display pricing information, any available discounts, and additional fees upfront. Transparency in availability and pricing helps customers make informed decisions and reduces the chances of booking conflicts.
  • Offer secure online payment options: Implement secure and trusted payment gateways to ensure a safe online transaction process. Popular options include PayPal, Stripe, or integrated payment solutions like WooCommerce. Display security badges or logos to instill confidence in customers.
  • Incorporate upselling and cross-promotion: Use the booking process as an opportunity to offer additional products or services. For example, if customers are booking a tour, suggest related activities or add-ons that enhance their overall experience. Cross-promote your other offerings to encourage customers to explore more options.
  • Send automated confirmation and reminder emails: Once a customer makes a booking, send them an automated confirmation along with the necessary details. Also, consider sending reminder emails closer to the booked dates. These automated emails provide reassurance and keep customers informed and engaged.
  • Provide customer support: Clearly display your contact information or a dedicated customer support form on your website. Respond promptly to customer inquiries, whether it’s regarding bookings, cancellations, or other queries. Exceptional customer service can enhance customer satisfaction and increase repeat bookings.
  • Regularly update and monitor your booking system: Ensure that your booking system is up to date with accurate availability and pricing information. Regularly test the booking process to identify and resolve any issues or bottlenecks that may deter customers from completing their bookings.

By incorporating booking and reservation features into your tourism website, you provide a seamless and convenient experience for your customers. The ability to book and reserve online increases customer satisfaction and encourages them to choose your offerings over competitors. With a reliable and user-friendly booking system in place, you can streamline your operations and focus on delivering exceptional travel experiences.

Step 8: Implementing social media integration

Social media has become an integral part of our daily lives, and incorporating social media integration into your tourism website can significantly enhance your online presence and engagement with your target audience. By implementing social media integration, you can leverage the power of social platforms to drive website traffic, promote your offerings, and connect with potential customers. Here’s how to get started:

  • Add social sharing buttons: Include social sharing buttons on your website’s pages and blog posts. This allows visitors to easily share your content on their own social media profiles, expanding your reach and visibility.
  • Display social media feeds: Showcase your social media content directly on your website. Embed feeds from platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter to provide real-time updates and encourage visitors to follow and engage with your social profiles.
  • Encourage user-generated content: Prompt your website visitors to share their travel experiences by using specific hashtags or tagging your social media accounts. Curate and display user-generated content on your website to build trust and foster a sense of community.
  • Add social media buttons: Place social media buttons linking to your social profiles in a prominent location on your website, such as the header or footer. This makes it easy for visitors to connect with you on various platforms.
  • Integrate social login: Allow visitors to log in or sign up on your website using their social media accounts. This simplifies the registration process and eliminates the need for visitors to fill out lengthy forms.
  • Promote social media contests and giveaways: Run contests or giveaways on your social media platforms and promote them on your website. Encourage visitors to participate and share the contest with their social networks to increase brand visibility.
  • Include social proof: Showcase social proof, such as the number of followers, positive reviews, or testimonials, on your website. This builds trust and credibility, enhancing the confidence of potential customers in choosing your tourism offerings.
  • Create social media buttons: Place social media buttons linking to your profiles in a visible location on your website. This allows visitors to easily connect with you on various platforms.
  • Engage with your audience: Actively monitor and respond to comments, messages, and mentions on your social media platforms. Engage in conversations, answer inquiries, and acknowledge feedback or reviews. This demonstrates your commitment to customer service and fosters a sense of connection with your audience.

By implementing social media integration into your tourism website, you can amplify your brand reach, foster engagement, and create a community of loyal followers. Leverage the power of social media to promote your offerings, build trust, and connect with potential customers in a dynamic and interactive way.

Step 9: Optimizing the website for search engines (SEO)

Search engine optimization (SEO) is crucial for increasing your tourism website’s visibility in search engine rankings and driving organic traffic. By optimizing your website, you can improve its chances of being discovered by potential customers. Here are some key tips to optimize your tourism website for search engines:

  • Perform keyword research: Identify relevant keywords that are commonly searched by your target audience. Use keyword research tools to find high-volume and low-competition keywords to incorporate into your website’s content.
  • Create high-quality, unique content: Develop informative and engaging content that addresses the needs and interests of your target audience. Incorporate the identified keywords naturally within your content, including headings, paragraphs, and meta tags.
  • Optimize meta tags: Write compelling meta titles and descriptions that clearly convey the purpose and value of each page. Use relevant keywords within the meta tags to improve your website’s visibility in search results.
  • Optimize your website’s structure and navigation: Ensure your website has a clear and logically structured hierarchy. Use header tags (H1, H2, etc.) to organize your content and improve readability. Implement breadcrumbs to help users navigate your website easily.
  • Optimize for local search: If you have a localized tourism business, optimize your website for local search. Include your business address, contact information, and localized keywords within your content. Register your website on Google My Business and other relevant online directories.
  • Utilize internal and external linking: Link relevant pages within your website’s content to guide visitors and search engines to related information. Also, consider obtaining high-quality backlinks from reputable websites in the tourism industry to improve your website’s authority and search rankings.
  • Optimize for mobile devices: Ensure your website is mobile-friendly and responsive. With the increasing use of mobile devices for travel research and bookings, a mobile-friendly website is essential for improving user experience and search engine rankings.
  • Optimize page loading speed: Website speed is a crucial ranking factor. Optimize your website by compressing images, minifying CSS and JavaScript files, and utilizing browser caching. Regularly monitor and optimize your website’s speed to ensure fast loading times.
  • Monitor and analyze performance: Utilize web analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to track the performance of your website. Monitor key metrics such as organic traffic, bounce rate, and keyword rankings. Analyze the data and make data-driven decisions to further optimize your website.

By implementing SEO strategies into your tourism website, you increase the visibility and discoverability of your business in search engine results. A website that is optimized for search engines will attract more organic traffic, improve user engagement, and ultimately drive conversions and bookings for your tourism business.

Step 10: Testing and launching your tourism website

Before launching your tourism website, it’s essential to thoroughly test its functionality, usability, and performance. Testing ensures that your website is free from errors and provides a seamless experience for your visitors. Follow these steps to test and launch your website:

  • Check for cross-browser compatibility: Test your website on different browsers (such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge) to ensure it displays properly and functions correctly across all platforms.
  • Test responsiveness: Your website should be responsive and adapt to different screen sizes and devices. Test it on various devices, including desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobile phones, to ensure a consistent and user-friendly experience.
  • Validate code: Run your website’s HTML and CSS through a validation tool to ensure it conforms to industry standards and best practices. This helps identify any coding errors or inconsistencies that may affect website performance.
  • Test all links and forms: Click through all links on your website to check for broken links or incorrect redirects. Fill out and submit all forms to ensure they function correctly and capture data accurately.
  • Review content for accuracy and consistency: Double-check all content, including text, images, and videos, for accuracy and consistency. Ensure that all information is up to date, spelling and grammar are correct, and visuals are properly displayed.
  • Optimize for site speed: Use website performance tools to analyze and optimize your website’s loading speed. Compress images, minify CSS and JavaScript files, and leverage browser caching to improve loading times.
  • Set up analytics and tracking: Install web analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to track website performance and visitor behavior. Set up conversion tracking to monitor and measure the effectiveness of your marketing campaigns.
  • Secure your website: Implement security measures such as SSL certificates to ensure that sensitive information is encrypted and transactions are secure. Regularly update your CMS, plugins, and themes to patch any vulnerabilities.
  • Backup your website: Create regular backups of your website’s files and database to safeguard against any data loss or technical issues. Store backups securely off-site or use a trusted backup service.
  • Launch and monitor: Once you have thoroughly tested your website, it’s time to launch it. Monitor its performance after launch, track key metrics, and make adjustments as necessary to continually improve user experience and achieve your business goals.

By following these testing and launching steps, you can ensure that your tourism website is running smoothly and ready to attract and engage visitors. Regularly monitor and update your website to adapt to changing user habits, industry trends, and search engine algorithms. With a well-designed, optimized, and tested website, you’ll be well-positioned to succeed in the highly competitive tourism industry.

Creating a successful tourism website requires careful planning, attention to detail, and a focus on delivering an exceptional user experience. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can build a tourism website that stands out from the competition, attracts visitors, and drives conversions. Let’s recap what we’ve covered:

We started with the importance of planning, understanding your target audience, and setting clear goals for your website. Then, we discussed key decisions such as choosing a domain name and web hosting provider, selecting a content management system (CMS), and designing the layout and structure of your website. We explored the significance of creating engaging and informative content, integrating multimedia elements, incorporating booking and reservation features, and implementing social media integration.

Furthermore, we emphasized the importance of optimizing your website for search engines through keyword research, high-quality content creation, and technical optimizations.

Written and researched by:

After a rollercoaster few years with Covid-19 significantly disrupting travel plans, the industry is now booming. And who can blame us: there’s nothing like being stuck inside your home for long periods of time to make you want to… leave home!

The growth in the travel sector means that there are more websites geared towards helping travelers than ever before. And believe us: not all travel websites are created equally!

This article will walk you through the basics of travel website design, and show 10 brilliant examples of websites that have got it right. Read on for some top tips and to get inspired to make or improve your own website.

What Is a Travel Website?

A travel website is any site that’s set up to provide information or inspiration for wannabe travelers.

For example, some users will want to be inspired and gather ideas, so there are websites specifically set up to showcase what different destinations have to offer, allow you to read reviews from previous travelers, or to map out potential journeys.

Other travel websites are more practical and set up to help travelers organize a trip, such as comparing prices or accommodation options, and then making a booking.

Why Does Design Matter?

We’ve included all types of travel websites for the various phases of the traveler customer journey, so you can compare their features and designs.

We think design is one of the most important factors of any travel website. Ultimately, a travel website is selling an experience, and a well-designed, visually-impactful website will be far more likely to leave a positive impression on the visitor.

Travel Website Design Inspiration

Ready? Let’s dive into 10 of the best travel website design examples:

#1. Lonely Planet

Lonely Planet is one of the OG travel companies, having published over 150 million travel guides over the past five decades! Nowadays, Lonely Planet is one of the best travel websites on the planet, with a super simple and impactful website design .

The use of bold photography paired with white text is highly effective, and something you could consider for your own site.

The website is especially well-designed for users searching for inspiration. We love the “Can’t decide where to go?” banner at the top of the homepage, and the section which divides destinations into categories such as “Learn,” “Cook,” “Connect,” and “Unwind” to help narrow down options.

#2. Secret Escapes

We love the Secret Escapes website for the variety of travel ideas it provides. On the same page you can consider a cozy English cottage, next to a wild African safari or an uber-cool Ibiza yoga retreat!

The carefully-considered design means that despite the potentially overwhelming options on offer, the site is clean and easy to use. Clear labels such as “Editor’s pick” or “Flights included” help with the decision making process, and we like how you can search “Anywhere” or “Anytime,” or be more specific.

#3. Skyscanner

Skyscanner is single-minded in its mission: matching people to flights. A staggering 100 million people use the site every month, and it’s available worldwide in over 30 languages.

What makes this site so compelling? We think design plays a big part. A full screen image provides a striking backdrop to this powerful search engine, and the homepage is purposefully stripped back and simple.

The search function has clever features such as the ability to find the cheapest month to travel in, and the option to filter searches by their departure time or number of layovers. Simple yet beautiful.

#4. Tripadvisor

Everyone knows Tripadvisor as the go-to review website for checking how local restaurants rank, but did you know it can also be used for booking accommodation and things to do?

We think you’ll agree, the colorful Tripadvisor website is a treat for the eyes, all thanks to a relatively recent rebrand and redesign. Their homepage is unique among travel sites for opting for an illustrated homepage rather than photography.  You could try this on your own site, as illustration is a surefire way to inject some fun and personality!

Color is another great way to inject personality and branding into your travel website design. Check out our guide on How to Choose a Color for Your Websit e for more tips!

#5. Interrail Europe

Interrailing is a way to travel the length and breadth of Europe by train, with lots of different passes and packages available.

The best part of the Interrail website is the trip planner tool. This allows a visitor to build a fully customized itinerary with dates and locations, and see their trip mapped out. Adding clever tools such as this to a website will ensure visitors find genuine value in your content, spend longer on your site and build up genuine excitement about their trip.

#6. Visit Australia 

Search “Visit…” and the name of practically any country, state, or holiday destination, and you’re likely to come across an official-looking tourism website.

The quality of these websites varies greatly, with some unfortunately providing biased or generic information. However, there are many good examples to take inspiration from, and the Visit Australia website is a standout example.

What we particularly love about the Visit Australia website design is the fun interactive elements , epitomized by “Ruby” the bouncing kangaroo who guides you through your trip to Australia. Ripper!

#7. Greyhound

“I ride the greyhound bus, I ride it everywhere…” so goes the song about the USA’s most famous bus service, which has also featured in too many movies to count.

Anyway, enough about film and music, we’re here to talk about design. The Greyhound bus website is practical and functional , primarily catering for travelers who wish to compare and book trips across the states.

A particularly neat feature of the Greyhound site is the “Explore” section, which lists the most popular destinations alphabetically. Striking photographs overlaid with a greyscale is a clever design technique which makes photos appear more uniform.

#8. Hostel World 

Budget-conscious travelers will be familiar with Hostel World, the world’s most famous search engine for affordable accommodation.

A key lesson to learn from the Hostel World website is that, when it comes to design, less is more . Their homepage is intentionally clean and simple, with only the most essential information on display. “Meet the world” provides an inspiring and motivating strapline, and asking a simple question “Where do you want to go?” invites the user to explore.

Advice from the Experts

Top tip: love the website design examples you’re seeing here you can learn more here about how to choose your website template..

What is Wwoofing, we hear you ask?! Wwoof stands for “Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms,” and the site is all about matching up visitors with organic farmers, to create a global ecologically-conscious community.

Sounds cool, right? But perhaps a little complicated? The Wwoof website recognises that users may be unfamiliar or daunted by the idea, so utilizes a carefully-designed step-by-step guide to help visitors choose a country, explore hosts, sign up, and plan their stay.

#10. Airbnb

Last but not least, we couldn’t explore the world of website design without mentioning Airbnb. Before Airbnb came along, websites for booking homestay accommodation were disparate, difficult to use, and inelegant. We believe a huge part of the success of Airbnb is down to the organization’s commitment to fuss-free, impactful design and clever innovations.

The search functionality has been expanded over the years, and now includes the option to search for “Treehouses,” “Shepherd’s huts,” “Castles,” or even “OMG!” properties. These categories are demonstrated through the use of simple icons , which add a cute and minimalist touch to the designs.

Top tip: Use a mixture of vibrant photography with simple icons to create a well-balanced homepage

Remember, think about the needs of the user visiting your site, and what stage of the customer journey they might be at.

Consider using vibrant photography or illustrations to inspire the potential traveler, an inspirational travel blog , or perhaps an interactive tool to help bring their journey to life. And for more practical sections of your site, try using icons, step-by-step guides or smartly-designed search engines.

That’s it, folks! We hope this has given you a taste of some of the best travel website design out in the world, and provided inspiration for your own site. Travel is a saturated marketplace, with thousands of websites competing for visitors. This means that design which is both impactful, beautiful, and functional is more important than ever.
