Perhaps the very best and most overlooked source for good ideas for you is your own local public library. There they will have more books and sources for ideas than you can pursue in a thousand lifetimes. Find that a bit hard to believe? Consider this: Imagine that you are a travel agent, or you are somebody that owns their own travel business. Let's further assume that have have no specialty to speak of. You can book travel to anywhere. If so, all you need to so is consult one large world atlas or book of maps. Simply turn to any random page and poke your finger at any spot on the map and see what you get. Whatever you end up with will certainly be an interesting place for somebody, and the challenge is for you to write about that place and explain why somebody should consider traveling there. The reasons are many, the interesting history, the sites, the culture, the food, everything about the place. All you need to do is engage in a little research work in the library and on line about that location and make yourself into an instant expert about the spot.
If your practice is a specialty, such as an agency that mostly books cruises, then you will want to focus on places that are near the water. Places with interesting ports of call. The lesser known the place is the better because then that can become your little niche. You know the most about it. Try to write about that travel destination in such a way that you can work in the unique features and benefits of what your agency can do for the reader. Some well placed links to your website that relate to special offers your reader can get access to will complete the job.
