As travelers search for information on the travel guide it also provides travel business a way to grow their visibility.

About Routes and Trips

As we all know, trips often require a huge amount of planning. We are trying to make that easier for travelers.

Travelers looking for information at the annual MATKA Fair, Helsinki

First you have to find out where to go, then put the place on the map and figure out how to get there and where to stay overnight. You will have to imagine what the place really is like. Is it really worth my time and money, am I going to like it or not?

The idea of Routes and Trips is to show travel destinations, and give ideas for day trips and travel itineraries out from those destinations.

You can take a bus tour or make day trips on your own, just look at our photos and follow our itineraries. All trips are shown on interactive Google maps, just use them and enjoy!

The Way We Work

Looking for things to do in the Himalayas

We first come and visit your destination.
We then report our travel experience to the world.
To show what the place is like we always use a lot of inspiring photos. To help travelers we mark sights, itineraries and other things on Google Maps.

Both Short and Long Term Visibility

Routes and Trips Travel Guide contents will appear after the trip and stay there for the next years to come and improve your long-term visibility. The information will be updated if needed.
The articles will be found in Google search results, for months and years, and be read by thousands and thousands of travelers as they search for travel ideas.
We also use social media, every day during the trip and afterwards. That gives you a strong short term exposure. But remember, unlike a permanent travel website social media posts only live for hours.

Our audience is global and covers all continents. In normal times Routes and Trips Travel Guide has up to 25 000 readers/month, all age groups and especially the wealthy 50+ (as we, too, belong to that age group). The audience is interested in things like travel, beach, nature, hikes, flights, car rentals, hotels.
