Travel journalists are the thoughtful creatives who influence tourists' travel destinations, holding the capability to turn a hidden gem destination into the next travel trend. In addition to shaping travel trends, travel journalists are also responsible for relaying local voices from upcoming destinations, highlighting small communities, and presenting underrepresented experiences.

As for PR experts, building relations with top travel journalists assists in gaining publicity; however, it also allows for the understanding of how journalists use their platforms to shape how tourists admire, plan, and attend their trip.
