More than ever tour operators are looking for staying updated and finding new ways to thrive in the industry.
For that reason, they rely on the internet to learn about digital marketing, attend online events, find partners and exchange knowledge with their peers.
The problem is finding reliable sources of information is hard and time-consuming. Especially considering that in a single second 24,000 gigabytes of data are uploaded to the Internet!
Instead, why not receive a curated list of the most relevant content for you straight in your email inbox?
Subscribing to one or multiple tourism newsletters is something every tour operator should do. Not only for staying updated but also for not miss an upcoming event or a business opportunity.
To help you with that, we have selected 5 tourism newsletters that you should subscribe to right now. If you are not already a subscriber of them.
This daily tourism newsletter is a complete source of the latest tourism news. From travel trends to technology, you will get in your email everything that is relevant for tour operators.
Tourpreneur Daily Brief’s content is curated by Shane Whaley, a veteran of the travel industry for over 20 years who also hosts the TourPreneur Podcast.
The newsletter also has a career opportunity section with open job positions for the industry. That is very helpful considering the crisis we are going through.

This newsletter delivers relevant travel industry news and thoughts on your email on a weekly basis. What makes it different from the others is that The Weekender is organized by Arival.
That means the newsletter is also filled with upcoming events, insights, travel data and industry-defining content for tours, activities and attractions.
In my opinion, the biggest plus of this tourism newsletter is receiving information about Arival webinars, forums and conferences (online for now), straight on your email.

That is all you need to boost your local bookings during this pandemic.
