The Top Travel Blogs

Arnie's Picks

Arthur Frommer Online

Although a relative late-comer to blogging (he launched his in 2007), the founder of Frommer's Travel Guides has taken to the format with gusto, posting more than 1,000 entries already. Frommer offers useful advice, timely tips and informed opinion on just about everything travel.

Bill Marriott’s Blog

Bill Marriott, the chairman and CEO of Marriott International, doesn’t limit his posts to his travels or what’s happening at the company. He delves as well into personal experiences and reflections -- even, for example, his love of movies.

The Avid Cruiser

Given that Ralph Grizzle says he spends most of his time at sea or in port, The Avid Cruiser is aptly named. Grizzle brings both an encyclopedic knowledge of cruising and a distinctly human touch to his reports.

Evolution of Security

Given the U.S. government's obsession (some would say paranoia) with security, it may come as a surprise that the Transportation Security Administration publishes a blog that discloses information on screening methods and innovations, and even discusses details of explosives implicated in foiled terror plots. It may not come as a surprise that the blog devotes an entire category to countering "myths" about TSA and Department of Homeland Security practices.

Destinations

It seems natural that a travel agency would blog about destinations, and that's exactly what Casto Travel does. First-hand travel experiences bring this blog’s reports, and the destinations, to life.

John Heald’s Blog

Carnival’s senior cruise director gets around in the air and on land as well as sea. And he managed to secure an interview with John Cleese.

Tony Wheeler’s Blog

Since the co-founder of Lonely Planet travels six months a year, it’s no surprise that his blog is infused with an ever-changing blend of interesting travel experiences and perceptive observations.

Travolution

Based in the U.K. and administered by the U.K.'s Travel Weekly, Travolution offers “commentary and analysis on the online travel industry” -- and it delivers on that promise, offering a frequent, fast-paced view of the convergence of web and travel.

Hotelchatter

Delivers no-holds-barred reviews, informed impressions of hotel pricing and services, and plenty of chatty tidbits. Primarily serves consumers and travelers in the know, though with an “insider” flavor.

Happy Hotelier

Guido J. van den Elshout, owner (and everything else) at a small European hotel, ponders “new developments in luxury travel, luxury hotels, luxury B&B’s, architecture, design, travel- and hotel gadgets, guest satisfaction, web design and web promotion of travel sites” and more.
