Travel information websites provide information about travel and tourism.

Travel and tourism content on the site may include articles, blogs, and forums. Travelers check websites for details such as booking flights or hotels, providing weather forecasts, or maps with directions to various destinations.

It should be well-designed and provide a comprehensive database of information about all the tourist destinations in the world.
