Pinterest Marketing for Travel Bloggers: Grow Your Travel Blog Traffic

Why Travel Content Thrives on Pinterest

Travel is one of the top searches on Pinterest, with users actively planning trips, researching destinations, and saving travel inspiration. Travel bloggers who master Pinterest can see 50-70% of their total blog traffic coming from the platform.

Pin Design for Travel Content

Travel pins that perform best use stunning destination photography with clear text overlays. The key formula: breathtaking photo + specific, actionable headline = clicks.

Examples of high-performing travel pin titles:

• "15 Hidden Gems in Bali You Can't Miss"
• "Complete Packing List for Southeast Asia"
• "How to Visit Paris on a $50/Day Budget"
• "The Perfect 7-Day Italy Itinerary"

Board Strategy for Travel Blogs

Create boards organized by destination, trip type, and travel activity:

• Destination boards: "Japan Travel Guide," "Best of Portugal," "Hawaii Vacation Ideas"
• Trip type boards: "Budget Travel Tips," "Luxury Travel Ideas," "Solo Female Travel"
• Activity boards: "Adventure Travel," "Beach Vacations," "City Breaks Europe"
• Planning boards: "Travel Packing Tips," "Travel Photography Tips," "Travel Budget Templates"

Seasonal Travel Pinning Strategy

Pin destination content 60-90 days before peak booking season. Summer travel content should be pinned starting in March. Holiday travel content in September-October. Spring break destinations in December-January.
