Fodor’s Travel — freelance guidelines
What they want:
Fodor’s is looking for travel stories with a distinctive, specific angle, rather than generic destination coverage. Current guidance and recent pitch calls emphasize:
- Travel trends and timely/newsworthy stories
- Hot takes and opinionated travel pieces that can generate discussion
- Travel hacks and useful insider advice
- Points-and-miles strategies
- Travel safety
- Travel mistakes or “travel blunders” with a useful takeaway
- Unusual, surprising, or under-the-radar destinations and experiences
- Stories involving culture, communities, responsible tourism, and the effects of travel
- Strong destination stories where the writer has genuine expertise or access
