Top Website Tour Examples To Learn From In 2023

10 min read

If you’re creating a user onboarding flow for your SaaS company, you’ll want to look at website tour examples from other businesses before you start.

We can learn from their mistakes, as well as follow the best practices they’ve established for teaching customers how to use their product. Having helped thousands of SaaS teams with onboarding, we can assure you that other web apps have faced the same challenges that you have.

Let’s get right into it.

• SaaS businesses use website tours as a way of showing new users how their products work.
• Website tours are valuable because they make users activate faster and more consistently, leading to a higher rate of retention in the long-term.
• A typical website tour is built out of modals , tooltips , hotspots and driven actions.
• To maximize the odds of your website tour being a success, ensure that you segment your user s and keep your tour as interactive and personalized as possible.
• Don’t code your product tour from scratch . Use Userpilot instead. Get a free demo today!

What is a website tour?

In many cases, website tours are interactive, requiring the user to actively engage with your product. That’s because learning by doing is a more effective means of user education than merely passively reading tooltips.

When users visit your app for the first time, it’s unwise to simply leave them to their own devices and let them figure out your product in their own way.

Ultimately, the risk of churn for SaaS companies is just too high to do something like this. We’re talking about an industry where Day One churn rates often exceed 70% or 80%!

Many businesses solve this problem by giving users a product tour that highlights their web app’s key features.

What constitutes “key features” is subjective, depending entirely on what a particular user group finds valuable.

So a CEO will likely have a very different set of product needs than an intern at the bottom of the hierarchy, for example.

I’ve seen plenty of businesses attempt new user onboarding with passive tours as well, but I don’t advise it.

Types of UI patterns used in product tours

Most product tours are built out of the following elements:

• Tooltips : brief text snippets that walk users through one individual product feature
• Modals : larger, rectangular elements that grab users’ attention with striking graphics
• Hotspots: small circles that flash softly to illuminate one particular part of the UI
• Driven actions: focus the user’s attention on a specific action such as a click or an input

Userpilot will let you build all of these UI patterns from simple templates, without facing the hassle of having to code. Get a free demo today!

Other patterns include:

• Lightboxes: similar to modals , but smaller and less disruptive to the user’s sense of flow
• Banners: long, thin, rectangular elements displaying an important message, often at the top or bottom of the screen.
• Sliders: similar to banners, but they slide in from the sides of the screen

So you now know what a website tour consists of, but why should your business care about creating one, when there are so many other things you could be spending your time on?

Why use product tours in your user onboarding process?

Put simply, serving your new users with a high-quality product tour is positively correlated with all the most important SaaS metrics .

For example:

Website tours reduce Time to Value

It’s in the commercial interests of all SaaS businesses to ensure that their customers experience value from their products as soon as possible.

Partly, this is due to the high-dopamine, low attention span world that we live in.

But it’s also about fulfilling the promises you make to your users. If they’ve come to your app to experience a particular benefit, they’re likely to churn if they don’t receive what they were looking for.

So imagine if you signed up for a new product and were greeted with an empty state like this:

Not exactly very motivating, is it?

By contrast, social media scheduling tool Kontentino greets new customers to their app in a friendly, engaging way:

And they follow this welcome screen with two tooltips that guide users towards connecting their social media account and scheduling their first post:

Out of these two examples, I can assure you that Kontentino’s customers will be the ones more likely to stick around and experience value .

Customers that experience a website tour are more likely to activate

Arguably the most important milestone in any new user onboarding journey, activation is the moment when a customer personally experiences the value of your product for the first time.

A typical product tour is designed to highlight the features that are most important to each particular user segment.

Generally, this is achieved by giving the user a checklist of tasks to work through, like this:

By the time the customer has worked through the checklist, activation is almost certain.

That’s because you can use onboarding software like Userpilot to define a custom event that equates to activation on your app, and then guide users towards it with modals , tooltips and hotspots.

If you want to create custom events for your app that will help your customers to activate, get a Userpilot demo today!

User onboarding product tours drive more user retention

Imagine you’re a new user who’s using a web app for the first time and you’re overwhelmed at the amount of value you receive.

You had signed up to find a way to organize your team’s work projects more effectively, and the product tour you experience shows you multiple ways of doing just that.

You experience the core value of the product through engaging with different features.

Do you leave and check out competing products?

Of course not!

Since it’s given you exactly what you wanted and the website tour made it so easy to use, there’s a good chance you’ll stay with this app for a long time.

From the perspective of the SaaS business who made this app, this translates into a high retention rate and multiple recurring subscription payments.

Now that I’ve got your attention…

Top tips for effective website tours

Every product tour is different, but there are some best practices that can be applied to just about any SaaS business, regardless of niche.

Don’t code your product walkthroughs from scratch

If this is your first SaaS product, it might be tempting to think that you can easily create a bootstrap tour on your own.

Think again.

The simplest UI element used in almost every product tour is a tooltip . Here’s how much code you need to make one:

Now imagine that multiplied by the number of UI elements in your entire product tour.

But that’s not all!

Your developers will also need to edit your tooltips every time your product marketers want to run a product experiment , perhaps to change the tooltip’s color or shape to see if that affects performance.

Maybe you have investors with deep pockets, but given how expensive developers are and how little time they normally have, that sounds like a risky strategy to me.

A better strategy is to use code-free user onboarding software like Userpilot. That way, your product marketers can build product tours to their hearts’ content, without having to bother your devs.

But don’t take my word for it. Get a Userpilot demo today to see how it works!

Ensure your website tour is interactive

Do you remember that boring old professor at college that used to lecture you back in the day?

I’m prepared to bet that he lectured students 30 years ago in exactly the same way. Right?

The worst thing you can do is to create a product tour like that . I’m talking about a website tour that

• goes through the same product features
• in the same order
• to every single customer, regardless of use case
• in a dry, non-interactive way

This is called a linear product tour. And users consistently hate them !

This is why Pendo’s tooltip-based product tours don’t work, by the way. They’re just too linear and repetitive.

A better approach is to create an interactive walkthrough, like Kommunicate did here:

To the user, this feels more like a two-way dialogue than a boring lecture.

The product tour asks them to try out one of the core features , the user does so at their own pace, and then they get served with another interactive task that’s directly linked to their particular use case.

All the while, the website tour has tooltips and modals guiding users towards the features that they need.

Don’t forget to segment your users and personalize your website tours

As we mentioned earlier, what your customers find valuable about your product tour is subjective.

It will depend entirely on their particular use case. For example, if your product is an SEO tool:

• Senior management will look at the bigger picture of their business
• SEO managers will be interested in higher-level analytics to see how their team is performing
• Link builders will generally only care about specific metrics such as domain authority and domain reputation

So it would be foolish to serve the same website tour to each of these user segments.

The solution?

Segment your users, and deliver an individualised product tour to each segment .

A great place to segment is on the welcome screen . You can ask your users questions that assess how they want to use your product, and then use software like Userpilot to personalize the subsequent product tour based on their answers.

This is how Postfity segmented their users:

Website tour examples that follow best practices

Now that you know what a website tour is and what the signs of a good tour are, let’s look at some guided tour examples from other businesses.

Website tour example #1: Rocketbots

Rocketbots have a web app that allows you to connect all your messaging systems on one platform.

After the user logs in, they initially see this welcome screen :

Observe how Rocketbots is addressing me by name and how it’s already looking to personalize my user experience at this stage of the process.

This form is also extremely minimalistic, which shows that Rocketbots want to keep their website tour brief and get their users to activate as quickly as possible.

Once you’re done with the welcome page, the software serves you with an onboarding checklist , which looks like this:

It’s notable that the checklist includes the tasks “Connect a Channel” and “Create a Space.”

These are the two most important activation tasks that Rocketbots requires of its users.

Their software won’t work if you don’t have a “space” to put all your inboxes in, and you won’t experience any value until you’ve connected your first inbox (or “channel”) to your space.

Rocketbots used Userpilot to create a series of tooltips that walk users through these two activation tasks.

Here’s what the tooltips look like for adding your first channel:

Once this is complete, activation won’t be far away.

Website tour example #2: Tallyfy

Tallyfy is a project management tool. It has two main functionalities: documenting business processes, and then automating them.

Tallyfy’s tour consists of the following two tasks, both of which require action from the user:

The first task is simple enough. Simply follow the instructions and click “Open.”

Giving users a fast win like this is often a good idea when building your onboarding process . That way, your users will be more motivated than if you had a long, linear product tour .

The second task is rather more playful. If you click “Open,” you’re asked to choose between sand, bacon or cheese.

Adding a light touch of gamification is a great way that Tallyfy keeps its users engaged.

Once you’re done with these two trial tasks, Tallyfy finishes up by prompting you to create your own task.

There’s just the one CTA here, so it’s very clear where to go next after this website tour.

It seems to me like Tallyfy have listened to their user feedback and discovered that their product tour needn’t be any more complicated than this in order to get users to activate.

Website tour example #3: Demio

Demio is a webinar hosting service.

Their website tour is perhaps the very definition of interactivity . You are asked to join a fake webinar, and then handed over the reins to control it.

The webinar initially looks like this:

When the host passes control to you, you’re given dummy data and a slideshow to ensure that you have something to talk about.

If you’re anxious that this is some kind of a test, fear not! There is a fake audience who will chat in the sidebar and appreciate whatever you say!

There’s an element of playfulness to this website tour which makes it memorable.

And since it’s a fake webinar, there’s no risk to you if things go wrong. So it will be good practice for when you come to deliver a real webinar to real users.

If you take one thing away from this article, let it be that you consider using Userpilot to build your website tour!

It really is so much faster and cheaper than coding everything yourself, and Userpilot has templates for all the UI elements you’ll need.

See our compilation from 10 of the best Tour Javascript and jQuery plugins to create a web guide for your user

Have you ever visited a website or a web application, where you don't have the most remote idea of how to start to using it because it's your first time there and you just feel like Jhon Travolta?

If you're a web developer, you may want to avoid this experience from your user creating some type of guide video, or a well explained documentation. However, some users won't read the documentation or see a video because there is no time for that, they just want to use your app! For this kind of users (that's the 90% of the people) you can use a dynamic in web tour while they learn to use your app. You can implement this feature by using a Guided Tour plugin in your app.

In this top, we are going to share with you 10 of the best guided tour plugins made in VanillaJS and jQuery.

Anno is a step-by-step guides plugin for powerful web apps. Anno.js is built to be extensible , the source is about 500 lines of literate coffeescript; you can read the annotated source in just a few minutes.

9. jQuery guide

jQuery Guide is a jQuery plugin made to create a "How to use guide" for your web app. It uses jQuery animations to provide a smooth and nice experience for the user while they learn how to use your app.

8. aSimpleTour

aSimpleTour is a jQuery plugin that will help you to make website tours easily.

7. Pageguide

Pageguide is a plugin to create interactive guide for web page elements using jQuery and CSS3. Instead of cluttering your interface with static help message, or explanatory text, add a pageguide and let your users learn about new features and functions. Pageguide comes with an example implementation (the files are in /example) which you can run locally with Grunt.

6. Bootstro.js

Bootstro show your users a guided tour of what is what on a page. Especially, for first-time users. Bootstro requires bootstrap & bootstrap popover , just add the class .bootstro to any element that you'd like to be highlighted, then include bootstro.js &  bootstro.css and start using Javascript bootstro.start() .

Any element anywhere on the page can be intro'ed: popovers are automatically scrolled to so they always get focused. This plugins is easily customizable, Bootstro provides various public methods so you can control as you like bootstro.start() , bootstro.next() , bootstro.prev() .

5. Hopscotch

Hopscotch is a framework to make it easy for developers to add product tours to their pages. Hopscotch accepts a tour JSON object as input and provides an API for the developer to control rendering the tour display and managing the tour progress. Hopscotch supports internationalization via i18n object in tour config. The default language is English. If you need a tour in a language other than English, pass in translated text in your tour config. Text used for previous, next, skip, done and close buttons, as well as, tour step numbers can be translated.

A Hopscotch tour consists of a tour id, an array of tour steps defined as JSON objects, and a number of tour-specific options. The tour id is simply a unique identifier string. The simplest tour consists of just an id string and an array of one or more steps. This plugin has been created by the guys at LinkedIn .

4. Enjoyhint

A free web-tool that is created to guide users through a site or app in the simplest way. It gives an excellent way to create interactive tutorials with hints and tips, and embed them into your web apps, thus, enhancing their usability and value/effectiveness. EnjoyHint adds simple hints that prompt users to navigate a website or an app intuitively and easily. It comes along with instant auto-focus highlighting, as the user moves into a new field.

We demonstrated the use of the EnjoyHint web-tool in an issue tracker demo, created with Webix JavaScript UI library. The tool itself is based on Javascript, HTML5 and CSS. The tool works on the client-side and can be used with any server-side platform. The key features of EnjoyHint:

3. Intro.js

Intro.js is a Step-by-step guide and feature introduction plugin for your website. When new users visit your website or product you should demonstrate your product features using a step-by-step guide.

Intro.js has no dependencies, fast and small 10KB JavaScript and 2.5KB CSS, that's all (minified, gzipped), besides it works on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari and even Internet Explorer.

2. Shepherd

Shepherd is a javascript library for guiding users through your app. It uses Tether, another open source library, to position all of its steps. Tether makes sure your steps never end up off screen or cropped by an overflow. Try resizing your browser to see what we mean.

Shepherd works in IE9+ and all modern browsers.

1. Bootstrap Tour

Bootstrap Tour is a plugin to make an animated, dynamic guided tour through your website using the famous Bootstrap Framework, however, if you don't use Boostrap you can use the standalone version without problem. This plugins is the easiest way to show people how to use your website with Bootstrap Popovers.

Honorable mentions

Driver.js is a light-weight, no-dependency, vanilla JavaScript engine to drive the user's focus across the page. Driver is compatible with all the major browsers and can be used for any of your overlay needs. Feature introductions, focus shifters, call-to-action are just a few examples.

Beginner’s Guide to Animated Website Tours

To make a compatible tour page for your website requires a lot of insight towards what your visitors need to know. Generally you can find a lot of examples using static informational pages as a guided user tour. Admittedly this is a great method for gaining traction from your userbase but it is not easy to accomplish.

In this article I want to look over some examples and plugins for creating your own animated website tour. This could happen all on the same page or in-between different page sections. The content is entirely up to you and this leaves a lot of room for innovation. But after checking out some of the possibilities you will surely be able to craft something useful.

Designing Around Themes

A good tour should be created around a theme or specific user interface style. The dynamics of how your visitors access content in the tour will define terms if the information actually sticks. I really like the example tour from Dropbox which actually doesn’t use very many animations. But the page is fairly dynamic and quickly loads content in a book format.

It is easy to see how this may catch on as a quick and easy solution to explain Dropbox to somebody who has never heard of it. The colorful illustrations and graphics are also a nice touch. It seems like the interface would still work even having JavaScript disabled which is a good fallback solution. The minimalism is a welcome design feature by most guests.

The more simplistic tour page used on Freckle’s website is a single-page design without updated content. The first element is a big streaming video which is often preferred by most users. Videos are playable from mostly any browser and offer quick-to-the-point ideas for how to use the website or application.

But it is notable that their tour page includes real information and screenshots from the app. Depending on the complexity of your website this extra information may be a good idea. Setting up a complete tour page with just a video can be off-putting for some people. But I do stand by the idea of streaming videos and they can work even better as part of a presentation element.

Sticky-Sliding Navigation

One other solution for holding lots of tour content on a single page is parallax scrolling. The background images will slide along as the user scrolls but we keep a fixed navigation menu attached onto the interface. Then users may skip through the different sections at their own leisure.

The very creative MediaFire website is host to many great design aesthetics. But their homepage actually contains a small guided tour area once you scroll past the header. You will notice a series of links which are fixed off to the left side. You may click any of these section links to pan around the page jumping between content.

Take inspiration from this for your own ideas but remember that a tour should feature the most important or puzzling ideas related to your website. You are looking to clarify any questions users may have so that people aren’t lost when browsing the interface. You will find this to be the case on MediaFire and it is obviously very useful in other applications and social networking websites.

An Example Tour Page

The web development blog Codrops has been publishing a lot of great tutorials revolving around new-age design trends. Most recently I found an article discussing website tours using jQuery and the demo is simply fantastic. Additionally developers may download the project source code and see how to create this same effect on your own site.

There are a couple major benefits to the Codrops tour approach. First we have a navigation box in the top right corner so users have quick access to the next piece of the tour. Some tutorials do allow for navigation through the arrow keys – but this method doesn’t help unless you directly explain to the user that they should navigate using the keyboard.

I also really like how the popup bubbles do not interfere with other elements on the page. You may style each bubble differently as needed and this provides an excellent resource for demonstrating your website’s capabilities. The autoplay tour demo is another solution if you would rather animate like a movie without any user input.

Building with Open Source

All the examples so far should provide insight towards the idea that many different websites can build tours in various layout styles. Most of these pages are custom made, but modern developers have their choice of building with existing projects. jQuery developers have provided a handful of free open source plugins including my favorite which is called pageguide.js .

Check out the demo Github page if you want to see this effect in action. Pageguide offers the ability to customize not only tooltips, but also highlighted elements and motion up and down the page. Granted the coding may get a little harsh if you are unfamiliar with JavaScript. But this is true of almost any dynamic tour plugin so it will require some buckling down.

Another choice you may look into is the Joyride plugin released by Zurb. You can find this on Github and many of the features will continue years into the future. The plugin supports native responsive elements which may adapt as the window resizes. Plus the documentation is well-written and offers a slew of fantastic options to choose from.

There are definitely some other plugins worth mentioning like aSimpleTour and Crumble.js. It is difficult to pin down one specific plugin and label this as the de-facto tour plugin. But the truth is that each website will be using tours for a different reason. You’ll need to have a plan in advance before looking into the development side. But luckily there are plenty of open source projects to aid in the creation of your tour pages, no matter how complicated the interface.

Final Thoughts

I hope some of these resources may prove beneficial to web developers around the world. You do not often find startups with fantastic tours and feature walkthroughs. But the handful that are use tours online have been pushing the boundaries on this new trend in web design.

It is true that we have never had so much support for dynamic jQuery enhancement. Any static website tour may not require animations or any type of jQuery for that matter. But the added effects are often much more captivating to new users. Be sure and check out some of these plugins or demo pages from throughout the article.

Travel Website Ideas: How to Make Yours Stand Out

Now that you've perused over 20 websites, you might wonder: How do I enact these key takeaways to build my travel website? Here are a few actionable ways to help your travel site stand out in such a saturated market. 

Keep it simple. 

It's no secret that planning a trip can be an overwhelming experience. The most successful travel websites keep it simple, provide ample white space, and present users with information as needed instead of throwing everything at them at once. Your visitors are likely already semi-stressed planning their trip — the last thing they want is to land on a highly overwhelming website. Spread your website out accordingly, don't make it too cluttered, and use a readable font. In other words, prioritize not only your site looking good but being user-friendly, too. 

Stay true to your branding.  

The best travel websites are those that stay true to their branding. If your brand is known for its vibrant colors, having a sleek and minimalist design probably doesn't make sense. Instead, you can incorporate your branding so your site feels like an extension of the brand your visitors already know and love. 

If you're unsure where to begin, remember that you can start with a template and customize it to suit your branding. For instance, when you  build your website with Content Hub , you can use the pre-existing templates available and infuse your unique branding into them. (Plus, you'll love that you can start completely free.) 

Try to find something that your brand can uniquely offer. 

The travel websites that stand out offer something that others don't. For instance, Trip Advisor is notable because it offers AI that helps visitors create the trip of their dreams, or Jet Blue's site stands out because of its funny and quirky copywriting. Find what only your brand offers — and build your site around that. 

Build a website your visitors will love. 

Remember: Travel websites vary greatly, so as long as you're creating one that feels true to your brand and prioritizes user experience, you'll see success. Good luck and enjoy creating with these travel design ideas in mind!

About the author

My name is Ralph de Groot. I love excellent web design. In fact, you can wake me up at night if you find an inspiring website. Besides writing on My Codeless Website I also love to read and travel.

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.

20 Example Travel Websites That Will Get You Moving

Pack your bags. We’re going on vacation!

That’s exactly what an effective travel website should make you feel. It should activate the travel bug with vibrant imagery and vivid copy.

And while photos can do a lot of the work in inspiring visitors, a travel site can’t accomplish its purpose without great web design.

Web design plays a major role in visitors’ first impressions of a business. In fact, in one study, when participants were asked why they distrusted a website, 94% of the comments were about design.

For a travel site, this means that design can be the determining factor in whether a visitor trusts recommendations and information.

And considering the significant investments that go into planning a trip, trust is essential.

It can make or break a traveler’s decision to take a certain tour, stay at a certain hotel, or even visit a city or country altogether.

Plus, beyond serving as a trustworthy source of inspiration, a travel site also needs to give would-be travelers all the information they need to arrange their travel plans.

Once a visitor is convinced that they need to see the sights in the photos for themselves, it should be easy for them to plan their trip.

This means that the site needs to have straightforward travel information, helpful logistical details, and tips that will help visitors simplify the travel process.

Not all travel sites tick all of these boxes, but the ones that do stand out from all the rest.

So whether you’re considering launching a new travel site, or you’re ready to improve an existing one, you want to make sure you leave no stone unturned.

That’s why in this post, I’ll cover the essential elements your site needs to include, then go over 20 examples of travel sites you can use to inspire your own design .

What should a travel website include?

There are tons of different types of sites that fall under the travel site umbrella.

The design elements you need depend on the type of site you’re running.

An official tourism site for a city will have different goals from those of a travel blogger or tour company.

So as you read through this post, keep in mind that not all of the recommendations will apply to your site.

But in general, the ideal travel website should include a mix of the following:

• High-quality photography
• A brief summary of the area, with highlights of important places
• Hotel recommendations with web links to hotel and booking sites
• Information about recreation and outdoor activities
• Guides to arts and culture, including museums, theaters, and other attractions
• Packing tips
• Maps and guides
• Public transport information
• Airport information
• Relevant tips on language and local dialect

Of course, your site likely won’t need to include all of the elements on this list. Tailor it to your needs.

And there’s tons of example travel sites that we can use for inspiration. Let’s get started.

1. Telluride, Colorado

The first site on our list is the official tourism guide to the city of Telluride, Colorado.

Right from the start, a prominent image gallery does a lot of the selling on the website for Telluride.

By making the images so large, the site makes sure the first thing you see is a beautiful landscape.

This is an example of a site that relies less on copy. Instead of a detail-heavy approach, the design focuses more on the picturesque views and various activities in action.

Once a visitor is drawn in by the photos, they can opt to click on the main call to action, “Plan Your Spring Trip” for more information.

From there, visitors can read about the various activities they can do in the city, then purchase any necessary tickets, passes, or equipment rentals.

This approach works, because it combines attention-grabbing imagery with a clear call to action.

Many Internet users have short attention spans, so it’s important to give them the opportunity to take action as soon as possible. Don’t make them think, wait, or read too much copy before giving them the opportunity to convert.

2. Visit Brasil

Visit Brasil is the country’s official tourism site.

On the surface, you might think that arranging this site would be a simple process.

After all, how difficult could it be to persuade visitors to check out beautiful beaches and hikes through the Amazon?

But considering that Brazil is a huge country, making up almost half of the continent of South America, the site has a lot of information to cover.

It does this by dividing the various regions into different “Experiences.”

By breaking the country into smaller, more manageable areas, the site aims to create a virtual travel experience that allows the user to explore the sights of Brazil right from their computer.

This can help visitors decide where they want to go within this massive country. If they’re looking for a relaxed beach trip, for example, they’ll have very different options from travelers looking for hiking trips or adventure tours.

Then, once a visitor has selected a destination, the breakdowns on the site will give them an accurate idea of what they can hope to see within the span of their trip.

3. On the Grid

Unlike the previous two examples, which centered on one city and one country, On the Grid is a travel blog spanning many countries and continents.

As a result, the site requires a very different type of organization.

Instead of letting visitors jump right into information about hotels and activities, the main navigation bar is organized by region.

Then, the homepage features an alphabetical list of city guides, from Aberdeen to Zurich.

[tweet_box design=”default”]This level of organization makes it easy for users to access information, whether they’re looking for a guide to a specific city or simply browsing for trip inspiration.[/tweet_box]

4. Cookiesound

Cookiesound is another travel blog that focuses on sharing personal stories from a mother-daughter photographer team.

The pair has made a name for themselves taking photos around the world, and they’ve created a nice compilation of their journeys.

And while the photos are likely what initially draw readers in, what sets this site apart from others is the personal perspective. You can tell that this site was made out of a passion for traveling.

So if you’re running a travel blog, it’s important to remember that photos can’t do all the work for you in building an audience and establishing a loyal reader base.

Make sure to spend just as much time creating interesting, well-written content for your site, and you’ll be much more effective in reaching your site’s goals.

5. Toucan Cafe & Tours

Toucan Cafe is a Medellin coffee shop that also runs tours and language exchanges.

Their site is exceptionally comprehensive. It features different types of tours and details about the cafe, as well as general tourist information for visitors to the city.

Best of all, everything is easily accessible from the big menu bar. Given that the site is designed to provide information about very distinct categories, it’s essential that visitors can immediately find what they’re looking for.

After all, if a user were to arrive looking for details on a walking tour, but think they’d mistakenly come to the website of a random coffee shop, Toucan would quickly lose a potential customer.

But this straightforward navigation setup eliminates that issue and makes it easy for users to access the information they need.

Plus, it’s worth noting that all of the content on the site is available in Spanish and English.

While some of the company’s customers might be traveling within Colombia, they’ve clearly determined that many of their tour attendees come from English-speaking countries.

By making all of their information available in English, Toucan expands their audience and makes sure they don’t miss out on potential customers because of a language barrier.

6. Wheeling, West Virginia

As you may have guessed, this is the official tourism site for the city of Wheeling, West Virginia.

The site features a series of high-quality images on its homepage that highlight the various activities available to visitors within the city.

From there, the page is divided into sections that cover hotels, restaurants, recreation, and other activities.

If this doesn’t sound like a novel approach, that’s because it isn’t.

But the site makes it easy for visitors to see why they should visit the city, as well as access all of the information they need to plan their trip.

In this case, simplicity works.

[tweet_box design=”default”]As you plan your site, remember not to get caught up in flashy design elements.[/tweet_box]

While a unique site can help you stand out, your priority should be to create a user-friendly experience that enables visitors to plan their next trip.

7. Utah, Life Elevated

Life Elevated is the tourism site for the state of Utah.

Much like many of the sites on this list, the homepage features large, compelling images of scenic destinations.

Then, users can click the featured call to action to learn more about the location in the photo.

This combination is extremely effective. The image elicits an emotional response, and the action-oriented text encourages visitors to put that excitement towards their own adventure.

But if you choose to take a similar approach, then pay attention to the size and quality of your images.

First, make sure that if you feature an image on your homepage, it’s high in quality. Grainy, low-quality photos won’t do you any favors in conveying the beauty of a location.

Then, always optimize your file sizes. Many site owners make the mistake of including massive image files on their homepages.

While these might look great, they can drastically slow down page load times.

And considering the impact that page speed has on page views, customer satisfaction, and conversion rates, it’s not something you can afford to damage.

So as you incorporate photos into your site, and especially onto your homepage, pay attention to file size. Your files should be large enough to produce high-quality detail, but not so big that they slow down your site.

As a general rule of thumb, your images should be 100KB or less .

After all, beautiful photos won’t do you any favors if no one sticks around long enough for them to load.

Crop your images to the necessary size and compress them before uploading, and they’ll be much more helpful in moving you towards your site’s goals.

8. Travel Oregon

One of the most creative sites on this list is Travel Oregon .

Like many of the other examples on this page, it’s designed to attract visitors to the state.

But unlike any of the others, it presents the various regions and attractions with a video game-inspired design.

The homepage begins by explaining that “Oregon is magic,” then encourages visitors to learn more about the state with choose-your-own-adventure style calls to action like, “Wander into the forest,” “Visit the Rose City,” and “See the magic Coast.”

From there, each of these calls to action directs users to more information (and real photos) of their selected region.

This kind of spin on website design isn’t for everyone. But for the fun, laid-back feeling Oregon is aiming to convey on their site, it’s perfect.

It’s also a fantastic reminder that travel sites can be as unique as the destinations they promote.

While there are a few basic elements you’ll need to include, feel free to get creative with the way you arrange them and present information.

9. Visit Australia

Although Australia’s official website includes plenty of eye-catching photos for visitors to check out, it also takes things a step further by heavily incorporating video into the mix.

Like many travel sites, it’s designed to encourage visitors to learn more about specific regions of the country, so they can determine which is best-suited to what they’re looking for in a trip.

And in addition to high-quality photos and compelling descriptions of each, the site also offers 360º videos. These give a more in-depth look than even the most high-quality photos could, so visitors can choose a vacation spot and explore it from the comfort of their home.

Interactive elements are becoming increasingly popular in web design for many industries. But in many cases, it feels like they only exist for the sake of checking “interactive” off on an arbitrary list of design elements.

So if you choose to include interactives, it’s important that they serve a clear purpose and don’t come off as gimmicky.

In this case, Visit Australia’s 360º videos are a fun, engaging addition to the site. They’re a special way to highlight different locations throughout the country, and add value to the overall site experience.

10. Live Africa

As a tourism site for an entire continent, Live Africa has an extremely large job.

But their site’s design does an excellent job of showing the exact feeling and experience they want to convey.

Live Africa encapsulates the essence of the African safari that the site heavily promotes, down to the textures and colors used throughout each page.

Plus, the striking videos of majestic animals roaming in the wild show the reader what they can witness when they plan their trip to Africa using the resources on the site.

11. African Budget Safaris

African Budget Safaris has a similar goal to the previous example on this list but takes a slightly different approach with their design.

Right from the start, the site keeps things direct and to the point.

There are no frills here — just all the information a visitor needs to plan their African safari adventure.

But the most important detail here is that visitors can instantly tell that this site will help them find inexpensive trips.

Of course, the name itself implies that the company’s goal is to provide affordable safari trips.

But by highlighting details on budget-friendly, quality tours, and including information about discounts right in their header, the site makes it clear that providing value is a priority.

This is an important piece of information to convey, and the site does it extremely well.

After all, effectively communicating content is one of the most important functions of any website. You can have the most beautiful photos and visually appealing design in the world, but if readers have trouble finding key information, they won’t become customers.

Make your site’s value crystal clear. Your homepage should be optimized for not only conversions but also user-friendliness — and that means making sure that visitors can tell exactly what to expect from you.

12. Mount Kilimanjaro Guide

Unlike many of examples listed in this post, Mount Kilimanjaro Guide takes an information-based approach on their homepage.

This is a great way for the site to make a memorable impression on visitors.

There are a ton of sites out there with information on Mount Kilimanjaro. It’s an extremely popular tourist destination, so there are dozens of guide companies competing for potential hikers’ attention online.

But as you’ve likely gathered from the examples in this list so far, most travel sites feature one large, compelling image on their homepage.

That’s great for sites focused on promoting a unique location!

In this case, however, the site isn’t trying to convince visitors that they should visit Mount Kilimanjaro. Their target audience is made up of people who are already interested in climbing the mountain and are looking for more detailed information on how to accomplish this goal.

As a result, they created a copy-heavy homepage that jumps right into the value of their guide.

This might not seem like an especially compelling approach but think of it from the perspective of a traveler who’s looking for information about climbing the mountain.

If you visit a dozen sites with homepages featuring similar images of Mount Kilimanjaro, and one site that gives you detailed information from the second you arrive, which do you think you’ll remember?

Probably the one that promises an approach with a summit success chance of 90%.

If your travel site operates within a competitive niche, look at what your competitors are doing to figure out how you can set your company apart.

And even if you don’t operate within a competitive niche, this site also serves as a great example of how to write effective copy.

Many site owners make the mistake of letting their images do all of the “talking.” But while stunning photos are great for grabbing visitors’ attention, they’re ultimately not what will drive most of them to take action.

When done well, your copy can be your pitch, presentation, and close all on its own. So as you create your site, don’t let this essential element become a last-minute consideration.

13. The Hawaiian Islands

The Hawaiian Islands’ website offers a no-fuss user experience.

At first, The Hawaiian Islands seems to be an average travel site.

And in many ways, it is. It features a scenic landscape image with tourists enjoying a hike, and a standard navigation bar with all of the options you’d expect.

But take a second look, and you’ll see how clean and simple the design is.

The navigation hierarchy is broken down into six basic tabs so that users can find exactly what they’re looking for within one or two clicks.

And for visitors who aren’t sure what, exactly, they’re looking for, the “Scroll to continue” tag at the bottom of the page encourages them to keep reading and learn more.

Altogether, these elements make for a direct, effective site. And for users who want a simple way to plan a trip, this is perfect.

After all, most of us take vacations to relax — so preparing for one shouldn’t be a stressful process.

14. Lake Crackenback

The website for the Lake Crackenback Resort & Spa does a nice job of balancing detail and design.

When it comes to creating any kind of website, it’s often challenging to strike a balance between including enough information, but not so much that you overwhelm your visitors.

This is especially true for travel sites.

You need to explain to visitors why they should visit the destination you’re promoting, and show them all of the great experiences they could have by planning a trip. You’ll also want to make it clear what role your site plays in the planning process.

But if your site appears too complicated, visitors might leave in favor of a simpler, easier option.

Lake Crackenback’s site is a great example of how to walk this fine line. There are several menu items, but nothing feels cramped, and it’s all easy to navigate.

Visitors have the option to explore information about hotels, dining, events, and activities — essentially, all the details they might need to plan their trip.

But all of this information is neatly organized into tabs, instead of cluttering up the homepage.

So as you design your site, make sure to do so in a way that won’t overwhelm your visitors.

You likely have lots of helpful content you want to share with prospective travelers.

And that’s great!

But don’t attempt to fit it all onto one page.

Make sure you give everything some breathing room and focus on letting visitors access the pages that are most relevant to their needs.

15. Visit Idaho

The next state-focused site on our list, Visit Idaho , is a breeze to use.

At first glance, this may look like a fairly standard tourism site. But Idaho’s website is unlike any of the others on this list.

So, what sets it apart?

Simple: It uses graphics in its menu.

This may seem like a small decision, but it makes navigation that much easier. Visitors can easily spot the tab that holds the information they need.

And beyond that, this setup also forces the site to group menu options using just four categories.

This makes the navigation process extremely straightforward. The more options you give visitors, the more they’ll have to consider before deciding which to click.

And while this may seem like a small concern, it can be the determining factor in whether a visitor decides to stay and engage with your content, or leave in favor of a simpler site.

So as you design your site, pay special attention to your navigation setup, and remember that navigating a site should be fun and frustration-free.

You can utilize anything from graphics to interactive elements to achieve this goal — as long as your final product is one that makes it easy for visitors to find and engage with the content that will get them closer to planning their trip.

16. Washington The State

It’s clear from Washington The State ’s homepage that its focus is on highlighting the state’s natural beauty, and this idea is apparent throughout the entire site.

Although the state also includes several large cities, the site goes heavy on the visuals showcasing its natural beauty.

As a result, we can gather that their target audience is prospective travelers who want to spend their trip enjoying the outdoors.

And while this might seem to limit their ability to attract vacationers, choosing a specific audience is a wise choice.

That’s because marketing a destination isn’t all that different from marketing a product or service.

And as any experienced marketer will tell you, having a clear picture of your target audience is absolutely essential for creating effective campaigns and content.

When you try to cater to too many people, it’s difficult to really engage anyone. Instead, you’ll be more effective when you narrow in on a defined audience.

This way, you can keep that audience in mind as you develop each part of your marketing strategy. You can select images, create design elements, and write copy with the goal of connecting with a specific set of users.

By keeping their priorities and preferences in mind, you’ll be able to create an entire marketing strategy that matches what they’re looking for in a vacation.

On this site, for example, even the subtle, natural-toned color scheme is designed to match the scenic imagery.

And while this might not appeal to travelers looking to explore downtown Seattle, that’s okay — because the site’s primary goal is to engage visitors looking for an outdoor-focused adventure.

So if you’re struggling to figure out how to market your site or destination, it might be time to narrow your audience.

Determine exactly who you want to reach, and it will be much easier to figure out what kinds of content you should be producing to attract their attention.

17. Egyptian Tourism Authority

On the exact opposite end of the spectrum from the previous example, the Egyptian Tourism Authority ’s website does an excellent job of highlighting different types of trips and experiences available to travelers.

In this case, they opted not to niche down — and it works.

That’s in large part because the site is designed to highlight the country’s variety and cultural richness.

The first thing visitors see is a stunning landscape. From there, the photos on the page display Egypt’s diversity, showcasing everything from beaches to deserts to the iconic Giza Pyramids.

The idea they’re attempting to convey is that the country holds something for everyone.

While narrowing in on a specific attraction would’ve made it easier to write copy and tailor their content to a specific type of traveler, this approach lets the site show off several different attractions.

And while it might seem contradictory to place this example of a site that covers an entire country immediately following a site that focuses on a subset of attractions within a specific state, the takeaway is that there’s no “best” approach that will work for every site.

If you’re working to increase tourism in an entire region or country, you’ll need to design for a broad audience. But if you’re trying to reach travelers looking for a specific type of trip or tour experience, you might see better results by niching down.

Determine what you’re hoping to accomplish with your site, then work from there.

18. Costa Navarino

Costa Navarino is located on the Mediterranean coast of Greece, and their site focuses on highlighting the beauty and uniqueness of the destination.

Their site seems to have one main objective: to make visitors forget about everything but the beautiful island scenery in front of them.

Travel sites are particularly effective when they enable potential customers to envision themselves in luxurious destinations from the minute they arrive on the homepage.

That can be the primary motivation for a traveler to book tickets from their cold home in the winter — and Costa Navarino’s site reflects this.

To accomplish this goal, they feature stunning images of coastlines, beaches, pools, and luxury villas. The weather report in the top right corner is a nice touch, too.

Altogether, the site does a nice job of minimizing distractions. Site visitors are encouraged to focus solely on the destination in front of them — at least until they’re ready to start taking steps to plan their trip.

19. Experience Columbus

Experience Columbus is the state of Ohio’s site for attracting visitors to their capital city.

The first thing you’ll notice on this site, after the gorgeous shot of the city’s skyline, is that the site is fast and appealing.

Of course, the site looks nice. But arguably even more important than that it loads extremely quickly. And it doesn’t lag on mobile devices, either.

Since many people now use smartphones and tablets to access information online, this last detail is critical.

And beyond that, the site is designed to be extremely user-friendly on any device.

Regardless of a visitor’s browser or screen size, it’s easy for them to access information about sightseeing, restaurants, events, hotels, neighborhoods, and virtually anything else they might want to know about the city.

So as you design your travel site, make sure that user experience is a key consideration right from the start.

Utilize responsive design, so that travelers can easily navigate your content on whatever device they’re using. Then, ensure that your testing process includes a variety of operating systems.

When not coded correctly, elements like buttons and your navigation bar can appear distorted on devices other than desktop and laptop computers. This can easily make or break a user’s experience with your site.

You don’t want this to be the determining factor in whether a user decides to visit your city or sign up for your tour service — so invest the time it takes to create a user-friendly site.

20. Discover Chile

The last site on our list is Chile’s official tourism site, Discover Chile .

The first thing you’ll notice on their homepage is likely the stunning image of a whitewater kayaker flying over a waterfall.

But after that , you’ll see the goal logo at the top of the page, announcing that Chile is the “World’s Leading Adventure Tourism Destination.”

Chile has received numerous awards for tourism, and it displays the most prestigious of these awards prominently on its homepage. The slideshow features three hero images, each with a different award at the top.

This is essentially a form of social proof.

If you’re not familiar with the concept of social proof , it’s the practice of using third-party reviews and opinions to create positive associations with your brand or business.

After all, consumers know that companies are biased towards whatever it is that they’re promoting.

As a result, they’re typically more inclined to trust the opinions of other consumers and organizations that don’t have a clear incentive to speak highly of a particular product or service.

That’s why many of us seek out customer reviews and ratings before purchasing anything online.

Of course, reviews work a bit differently within the travel industry. Travelers might rate specific attractions they visit or tours they attend, but most won’t take the time to write and publish a review of a destination as a whole.

But in Chile’s case, the titles they received from World Travel Awards are just as compelling.

And if a visitor in search of an adventurous trip lands on this homepage, they’ll immediately know that the country offers what they’re looking for — and they don’t have to take a biased tourism site’s word for it.

If your city, attraction, or site has earned any awards or distinctions, be sure to feature them prominently.

Even if it’s just a small award from a local organization, having some sort of third-party verification can go a long way in building trust with your visitors.

There’s no guaranteed template to follow when designing a travel website.

The 20 sites in this post alone cover a variety of design styles and approaches — they each work for their own unique audiences and goals.

Regardless of your industry or niche, there are a few important points to keep in mind when working on your site:

• Make sure your navigation is simple. Graphics, smart category grouping, and smaller menus can all help with this.
• Images play a huge role with travel sites! Don’t be afraid to use big banner images. Just make sure that your file sizes don’t slow down your page load times .
• Try to set your site apart from the rest. Figure out what your competitors are doing, then aim to come up with a unique approach.

Make your website better. Instantly.

Miles Russell, 15, earns another Korn Ferry Tour start with top-25 finish

Cards final-round 66 at lecom suncoast classic, youngest to top-25 on record.

Change Text Size

After a historic made cut at the LECOM Suncoast Classic, high school freshman Miles Russell could’ve been forgiven for cruising through the weekend, relishing his accomplishment before returning to Earth science, geometry and the standard cadence of life as a high school freshman.

Russell, 15, had other ideas.

Russell shook off a slow start Saturday – 4 over through three holes – to grind out a third-round, 1-under 70 at Lakewood National Golf Club’s Commander course, and he turned on the jets with a final-round, 5-under 66 that included seven birdies in a 10-hole stretch (Nos. 4-13). That was good for a T20 finish at 14-under 270, becoming the youngest player on record (since 1983) to notch a top-25 finish on the PGA TOUR or Korn Ferry Tour.

With the top-25 finish, Russell also qualifies for next week's Veritex Bank Championship in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. (Prior to turning 18, players are not eligible for non-member Korn Ferry Tour Points toward Special Temporary Membership.)

"It was an awesome week. It was a blast," Russell said afterward. "Especially for my first one, you may get a couple weird looks, like, 'Who's the little kid on the range?' But, you know, everybody was so nice and so helpful with everything.

"I just try to kind of go with flow and take it as it comes to me, and I'm trying to just stay cool. I was able to hit some good shots in the right moments."

The Jacksonville Beach, Florida, resident authored history this week as the youngest player to make a cut on the Korn Ferry Tour at 15 years, 5 months, 18 days (surpassing Gipper Finau at the 2006 Utah Championship) and captivated the greater golf world with his combination of youthful firepower (17 birdies, three eagles) and veteran poise. He arrived at Lakewood National with belief in his abilities to compete at this level, a humble confidence that he backed up with four consecutive under-par rounds in competition. Russell shot 31 on his first nine Thursday and kept the pedal down through the weekend, unfazed by the moment as the buzz continued to build.

Russell, the AJGA's top-ranked junior, cannot join the Korn Ferry Tour this year, or next year, or the year after. But he’s welcome to stay around for a while if the results correspond. Seventy-two holes in west Florida have proven that he’s got the requisite game, here and now.

Miles Russell, 15, becomes youngest to make cut on Korn Ferry Tour

Russell advanced to the weekend with ease, opening the LECOM in rounds of 68-66 to finish three strokes inside the 36-hole cut line. His first three holes Saturday represented a test of adversity – a double bogey at No. 1, followed by bogeys at 2 and 3. But the reigning winner of the Junior PLAYERS and Junior PGA Championship remained poised, going bogey-free the rest of the day while adding an eagle and three birdies. It meant that rather than holding a spot near the bottom of the board, he stood T48 into Sunday, three strokes off the pace for a top-25 finish.

He was within striking distance and he took advantage. It means another week on the Korn Ferry Tour and the valuable experience that accompanies it.

"When I play well, I think I can compete with some of the better pros, but this week I played well and I think it kind of showed it a little bit," Russell said. "But good play is always good, and definitely confidence-boosting to finish where we're going to finish today."

Russell was safely inside the top 25 at the time, but plenty of competitors remained on the course who could have bumped him out. His number held up, though, for the first top-25 on record by a player under age 16. Another historical marker for a player too young for a driver's license but whose game is on the road to the Lone Star State.

Politics latest: Rwanda bill sent back to Lords as MPs reject changes - after Sunak vows flights will start 'come what may'

The Rwanda bill is going through parliament in what is anticipated to be a long night for Rishi Sunak, with MPs already rejecting proposed amendments from the Lords. Earlier today, the prime minister vowed deportation flights will happen at any cost, declaring "enough is enough".

Monday 22 April 2024 19:30, UK

Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player

• MPs have rejected limitations to the Rwanda bill put forward by the House of Lords last week
• The bill has now gone back to the House of Lords, where some peers may attempt to insist on their amendments again
• Rishi Sunak is pushing MPs and peers to pass his key policy tonight, saying they will sit through the night if necessary
• At a news conference this morning he also vowed Rwanda deportation flights would start 'come what may'
• Explained: Why the Rwanda bill has not passed through parliament yet
• Listen to this week's Politics at Jack and Sam's above and tap here to follow wherever you get your podcasts
• Live reporting by Samuel Osborne  (now) and  Ben Bloch  (earlier)

On Sophy's panel tonight are Conservative MP Tim Loughton and Daisy Cooper, deputy leader for the Liberal Democrats.

Ms Cooper says the Liberal Democrats have opposed the bill at every stage, adding the government should instead reintroduce safe and legal routes, scrap the "unworkable, expensive" scheme and spend the money on getting the asylum backlog down.

But Mr Loughton says: "This bill needs to go through."

There is "absolutely nothing" new to debate with the amendments this evening, he says, adding: "Now, let the legislation go through. We need the Rwanda scheme to start."

Tory MP Danny Kruger is the first guest on the show.

He tells Sophy Ridge he is sure the government will win tonight and the Rwanda bill will be passed.

"I have got some anxieties about it but the overall principle is the right one and I'm pleased that the government is pushing back against the Lords," he says.

He is sure the bill will pass, he says, adding there is "a bigger story here which is about our membership of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg".

The court "doesn't respect the UK parliament as the sovereign power in our country", he says.

It is "incompatible with our democracy".

Mr Kruger adds: "I'm hopeful the Rwanda policy will work, if it doesn't that makes it really obvious we need to leave the European Court, which might well be the battleground for the next election. So I think there's a big story here about who rules Britain."

Tonight, we think, is going to be the night when finally Rishi Sunak gets his Rwanda legislation through parliament.

I know it feels a bit like we've been marched up this hill before, and trust me, I don't want to play the role of the Grand Old Duke of York again, but all the signs are that by the end of the day, or at least by the early hours of the morning, the Rwanda bill will be law.

Voting started in the afternoon. It's going to go on until the evening, as the Lords add amendments that are then thrown out by the Commons. Ping pong, in the parliamentary jargon.

But no matter how late it gets, Rishi Sunak has vowed to push his plan through parliament tonight, and we'll of course be bringing you every twist and turn.

But then, what happens next?

Well, according to the prime minister, flights to Rwanda will start taking off in 10 to 12 weeks.

If you're sceptical about whether that will happen, and you feel the Grand old Duke of York has taken you up this hill before, I get it.

But that's what the prime minister says. Apparently, commercial flights have already been organised and officials are on standby.

Here's the thing though, even if that does happen, and flights taking migrants to Rwanda start in July, that's not going to be the end of the prime minister's problems.

Right now, the record numbers of small boats arriving in the UK can be dismissed by the government saying, "Look, we wanted to get Rwanda through, but that's been blocked by those pesky Labour peers, or the courts."

But what happens if migrants are leaving on flights to Rwanda and yet the small boats keep arriving on Britain's beaches? Who's to blame then?

On the show tonight, we'll be discussing the politics and the policy on a busy evening here in parliament.

Politics Hub With Sophy Ridge  will be live on Sky News from 7pm.

The government has won two votes on the Rwanda bill this evening, after MPs voted to reject two amendments made in the House of Lords last week.

The bill will now be sent back to the Lords, where some peers may attempt to insist on their amendments again.

It will then go back to the Commons with amendments where it will be voted on again.

Last week peers amended the bill to include an exemption for Afghan and other nationals who had assisted British troops overseas and a provision meaning Rwanda could not be treated as a safe country unless deemed so by an independent monitoring body.

This morning Rishi Sunak declared "enough is enough" and said MPs and peers will sit through the night if necessary to get the bill passed.

Airlines involved in Rishi Sunak's Rwanda scheme could be held responsible for any violations of international human rights rules, UN experts have warned.

Siobhan Mullally, Gehad Madi and Alice Jill Edwards, the special rapporteurs on human trafficking, migrants' human rights and torture, warned airlines and regulators could be "complicit" in breaching the rules by facilitating removals to Rwanda.

"Even if the UK-Rwanda agreement and the Safety of Rwanda Bill are approved, airlines and aviation regulators could be complicit in violating internationally protected human rights and court orders by facilitating removals to Rwanda," they said.

The experts added: "If airlines and aviation authorities give effect to state decisions that violate human rights, they must be held responsible for their conduct.

"As the UN guiding principles on business and human rights underline, aviation regulators, international organisations and business actors are required to respect human rights."

The UN experts have expressed their concerns to the UK government, as well as national, European and international aviation regulators.

MPs have rejected a second amendment to the Rwanda bill introduced by the House of Lords last week, which would have included an exemption for Afghan nationals and others who had assisted British troops overseas.

Some 305 MPs voted to scrap the amendment and 234 voted to keep it.

The bill will now be sent back to the House of Lords.

MPs are now voting on a second amendment to the Rwanda bill, introduced by peers last week, which would include an exemption for Afghan nationals who had assisted British troops.

MPs rejected an amendment to the Rwanda bill which would have meant Rwanda could not be declared safe until a report from an independent monitoring body was completed - and that it could also be declared unsafe in the future in the wake of a similar report.

Some 306 MPs voted to scrap the amendment, while 229 voted to keep it.

These Are Going to Be the Most Popular Travel Destinations in 2024

A lready thinking about where you want to travel in 2024 ? If you’re hoping to hit the hottest travel destinations of the year, Expedia Group is here to help. The one-stop travel site—alongside Hotels.com and VRBO—just released Unpack '24 , a travel trends analysis for the coming year. In addition to detailing the projected top 10 most popular international destinations of 2024, the site also revealed 10 “dupes” for travelers looking to perhaps spend a bit less, as well as those hoping to be surrounded by fewer fellow tourists. Additionally, they revealed 10 affordable cities where the world’s biggest musical acts are set to perform, as well as where to travel if you live a sober lifestyle.

“At Expedia Group, we have extensive first-party travel data that we use to enhance and curate experiences for our travelers across Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo,” Jon Gieselman, president of Expedia Brands, says in the report. “These insights shape our travel forecasts, revealed in Unpack '24, enabling our travelers to be the first to discover and book the most desired trips before they become well-beaten paths.”

Ready to ignite your travel bug? Ahead, discover the most popular travel destinations of 2024.

The Top 10 Travel Destinations of 2024

Expedia Group predicts that travelers are most likely to jet set to destinations popularized in fan-favorite TV shows and movies. According to the report, “More than half of travelers say they’ve researched or booked a trip to a destination after seeing it on a TV show or in a movie. In fact, travelers say TV shows influence their travel decisions more than Instagram, TikTok, and podcasts.” With that in mind, they reveal that the top 10 travel destinations of 2024 are as follows:

• Thailand - Featured in White Lotus , Season 3—which has sadly been pushed to premiere in 2025
• Romania - Featured in Wednesday , Season 2—which has not yet set a release date
• Malta - As seen in Gladiator 2 , which is set to premiere on November 22, 2024
• Paris - As seen in Emily in Paris
• Scottish Highlands - Featured in Outlander
• London, Bath, and Windsor, U.K. - As seen in Bridgerton and The Crown
• South Korea - Featured in Squid Game —the Season 2 release date has yet to be announced
• Florida Keys - As seen in the series Bad Monkey
• Australia - Featured in Baz Luhrmann’s Faraway Downs series, as well as the film Furiosa , which is set to premiere on May 24, 2024
• Greece - as seen in the films Argylle (set to release in 2024) and My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3

The Top 10 Travel Destination Dupes

Dupes have long been lauded in the beauty and fashion categories, and now the concept is making its way to travel. “1 in 3 of those polled say they’ve booked a dupe,” the report reveals. “But what do these less obvious alternatives offer besides potential savings? They’re often less crowded, tend to be a little unexpected, and can be every bit as delightful as the tried-and-true destinations.”

Intrigued by the idea of booking a stellar vacation for a fraction of the price? Check out Expedia Group’s Top 10 Travel Destination Dupes, below, which are listed as the original destination of inspiration and the dupe that mirrors it.

• Seoul —> Taipei
• Bangkok —> Pattaya
• Santorini —> Paros
• Saint Martin —> Curaçao
• Sydney —> Perth
• London —> Liverpool
• Lisbon —> Palermo
• Geneva —> Québec City
• Zermatt —> Sapporo
• Nashville —> Memphis

The Top 10 Tour-Inspired Travel Destinations

Music lovers, this one’s for you! As you well know, traveling to see your favorite artists live is expensive, to say the least. With this in mind, Expedia set out to find the most affordable destinations where the world’s most famous pop and rock stars are set to take the stage in 2024.

Through their research, in which they analyzed the average daily rates of tour locations, they found the top 10 most affordable cities (less than $150/night on average) where travelers can witness the likes of Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Coldplay, Metallica, Madonna, and more. They are as follows:

• Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - $91
• Edmonton, Canada - $108
• Mexico City, Mexico - $119
• Warsaw, Poland - $119
• Birmingham, U.K. - $127

Taylor Swift reveals double album in '2 a.m. surprise'. Here are the best fan reactions

The day all Swifties have been waiting for has finally arrived. Taylor Swift's 15th album, " The Tortured Poets Department ," dropped at 11 p.m. CST Thursday night.

Swift, chairman of the "Tortured Poets Department," did not disappoint.

'It's a 2 a.m. surprise'

The Eras Tour singer barely gave fans time to process TTPD before releasing an additional 15 songs under "TTPD: The Anthology."

"It's a 2 a.m. surprise," Swift wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. The double album's new tracks went live at 1 a.m. CST early Friday morning.

The secret double album's new tracks include:

• "The Black Dog"
• "imgonnagetyouback"
• "The Albatross"
• "Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus"
• "How Did It End?"
• "So High School"
• "I Hate It Here"
• "thanK you aiMee"
• "I Look in People's Windows"
• "The Prophecy"
• "Cassandra"
• "The Bolter"
• "The Manuscript"

The Eras Tour singer joined Threads at midnight, which shares parent company Meta with Facebook and Instagram.

As part of the week leading up to the announcement, Swift worked behind the scenes with Threads to create a countdown when users pulled down on her Instagram page. The interface connected them to pre-follow the singer. At the stroke of 12 a.m., a new pull-down countdown revealed two hours.

TTPD's track titles are brutal. Fans speculated the album was about Swift’s six-year relationship with English actor Joe Alwyn and their breakup. Both stars kept the relationship out of the public eye. The back of the first version of the album reads, “I love you, it’s ruining me,” serving as a dagger-to-the-chest harbinger.

Swifties react to 'Tortured Poets Department'

Swift's double album reveal had fans reacting in all caps − the social media version of screaming.

"YOU ARE LITERALLY A GENIUS AND MY WORST NIGHTMARE AT THE SAME TIME I LOVE YOU," one user wrote on X .

"TAYLOR WE STILL HAVEN’T RECOVERED FROM THE FIRST ONE," another said .

Swifties are already busy making connections between some "TTPD" lyrics and lyrics in previous albums.
