What are some brands (or industries) you have worked with that you recommend new travelpreneurs to try to connect with? I have a great opportunity this summer I want to capitalize on, but I'm a little overwhelmed regarding where to start.
Hey Elizabeth! Thanks for your question. So, this would really depend on your niche and what your audience is interested in. The brands that I've worked with might not be suitable for your niche. However, if you're a new travel content creator and these would be your first sponsorships then I suggest that you start local. Local hotels, local tourism board/CVB, local travel brands or businesses. This is the best way to get started as your local knowledge makes it easier to convince these brands that you can represent them properly. However, if you niche isn't local at all, then I suggest starting with Tourism Boards (in the destinations you'll be traveling to this summer). They're easy to work with, already know what it entails to work with travel creators and they can assist you with a wide range of sponsorships - from city passes/cards, transportation, hotels, restaurants, experiences and more. Hope that helps? Let me know if you have any follow up questions.
