200+ Travel Twitterers I’m Following on #FollowFriday
UPDATED 1/20/09: see more travel Twitter people from the comments and responses, @wandermom and @wendyperrin. Thanks!
Are you in the Travel Industry and not yet on Twitter?
If so, read Travolution Kevin May’s post on why travel firms MUST take note and his experience with the Twitter Travel community at PhoCusWright this year. Then join Twitter and follow @travolution.
Still not convinced? Read “Changing travel, one tweet at a time” on MSNBC by Christopher Elliott (@elliottdotorg) and BELIEVE!
Are you on Twitter and looking for more Travel Tweeters (or is it Twitterers?) to Follow and Connect with?
Then this post is for you. Today on Twitter, a meme called #FollowFriday was spreading like wildfire. People would tweet about other Tweeters they enjoy following, and then add the hashtag “#FollowFriday” to their tweet. Follow the #followfriday action via Twitter Search.
I tweeted about a few top-of-mind Travel Twitterers that I wanted to share.
But there are so many more interesting Travel Tweeters that I’m following. In fact, I counted 200+ Travel Tweeters that I’m tracking using a special group in my Tweetdeck browser.
Other Lists of “Top” Travel tweeters
There are a number of lists out there that have the “top” Travel tweeters, including:
- UpTake T-List Twitterati
- Matt Parsons Travel/Twitter hit list
- Elliott.org 50 travel twitterers you should follow
- Voyageek top 50 Travel Twitters you should follow (and another version of this list on Travolution)
- Canadian Tourism: 101 travel-related Twitterers
- any more of these lists out there?
The 200+ Travel Tweeters that I follow
Well, without making any strong recommendations on who YOU should follow, I thought I’d simply share who I follow. I’m happy I’m following all 200+ of these Tweeters. Mine these Tweeters for the ones with the same interests as you. Happy Following!

Lifecruiser’s last blog post..Sangria Temptation Fail
Hi all,
I have joined twitter recently and use the id @purplepassport.
I’ve recently been twittering about my time in The Riviera Maya, NYC and Vail and will soon be moving to Abu Dhabi which will prove a great new travel base! Can’t wait to learn about everyone’s journeys.
Jenn Garcia’s last blog post..Just One Reason Why I Love Colorado
[...] Do you highlight your best blog posts in your Twitter stream and your destination’s Facebook page, along with photos of your destination on Flickr and some videos on YouTube? Yes, I’ll wait here while you go set those up. To get the word out about a blog, you don’t just do it on the blog itself – you need outposts on the Web. Go see the Twitter stream from the tourism people in Nova Scotia, or the 3 folks who do Hawaii tourism: DavidHTA, Michael Ni and Nathan Kam. Go see the Facebook page for Iowa tourism. Go see what these tourism guys in the Amazon have done with social media – good for them! There’s a lot of travel action on Twitter. [...]
Fairmont Hotels & Resorts also has a presence on Twitter – http://www.twitter.com/fairmonthotels
