TOP TIP: AVOID CLICHES AS FAR AS POSSIBLE
Travel is rife with clichés. How many times have you heard a place described as “a blend of old and new”, with a “bustling market” and “something for everyone”?
It’s easy to fall into the cliché trap. But do try to avoid it, as far as you can. One of the best ways to do this is to “show not tell”. Rather than simply say “a stunning landscape”, describe the craggy mountains, the pine-covered hills or the blushing pink sky.
Another way to avoid a cliché is to simply say what you mean, and mean what you say. Travel writing is renowned for being over-the-top: speak to your clients honestly and you will gain their trust through authenticity.
Find out more about the steps you can take to using your tone of voice to set yourself apart from other travel companies. You will see examples of how others have done it really well, as well as finding out what other things you can do to keep one step ahead of the game.
