What should a travel pamphlet include?

Key features:

Versatility

Whether you’re a hotel, a local café, or a historic site, a brochure can enhance your visibility. They can be used to promote a wide range of products and services of your business, from lodging and dining to special events and attractions.

Restaurants or cafes can also promote menus or recipes.

Formats

Embrace both print and digital formats. While some tourists love the tactile feel of printed brochures, many find convenience in accessing digital versions on the go. Printed brochures offer several benefits, for many people, for example, they are a souvenir from their journey and can be kept for future use.

However, digital brochures still have many other advantages: your travel brochure can be accessed from anywhere, at any time, and on any device with just a click.

1. Consistent design

Match the theme – tropical destinations might use vibrant blues and greens, while cultural spots might opt for muted tones. Complement your photos with a cohesive color palette.

2. Visual appeal

High-quality images are non-negotiable. Let readers visualize their potential experiences – from sun-soaked beaches to cultural landmarks. Consider using a variety of image types in a travel brochure, such as landscape photos, close-up photos, and action photos – sometimes all it takes is to show a location, but the human element is very important. Use your own photos to create a story about your destination or attraction, showing how it changes the visitors and allows them to relax.

3. Engaging copy

Write with passion, but remain concise. Use bullet points, headers, and local insights to enhance readability and offer value. Be sure to include local insights and recommendations. This will help make your travel brochure more informative and valuable for readers – avoid marketing language, each brochure must be something useful for the user. Remember also to use a call to action at the end of your brochure – check if your travel brochure templates have a special section for that. Tell readers what you want them to do next, such as visit your website, book a trip, or sign up for your email list.

4. Practical information

Always include critical details – addresses, contact information, and maps. Make it effortless for readers to reach out or find you. For example, you could include a link to your website or a QR code that they can scan to get more information. Consider including other helpful information in your travel brochures, such as transportation options, hours of operation, and admission fees. Remember, if a travel brochure is not useful, it gets thrown away!
