Many of them also use nature-inspired designs (see last week’s post 35 Beautiful Web Designs Inspired by Nature for more examples). Here you’ll find some of the best websites from the travel and tourism industry.

Nice collection! Love the background feature of the Little Palm Island site.
Cool Collections… Nice
This is also a nice website inspired by nature and travel
OMG, this is good stuff. Great inspiration for any webdesigner!
I especially love the castle design and Utah Travel, simply genius!
What a incredible collection of websites! Very nice roundup. I love the UTAH site for it’s depth and texture. The typography in the tour dust site is also very successful. Thanks for putting this together, you guys always do a great job!
Some nice looking websites. Brookside Resort is my favourite. Thanks for sharing!
on the roadside heritage site i personally love the headline thats embossed into the sky which, of course, sits right below the logo that casts a shadow into the sky. very very amateur.
Great collection. Take a look at Get Outta Town (http://www.getouttatownonline.com) also, has a nice clean layout and easy navigation.
Some fantastic inspiration here, thanks for posting. Roadside heritage is my favorite.
It’ perfect.
I like it .
Thanks for sharing …

http://www.visitmaine.com is also a really nice tourism website, just came across that one the other day.
you missed one of the best – australia.com
Can I recommend an inspiration gallery website that specialized only on Travel/Tourism websites?

All of these just make me want to go on vacation. Now I need to fight the urge to head over to kayak
very inspiring list!!All of them were great!Can’t choose which one is the best!!
nice use of background images to grab the site visitors attention
Many of them seem to have a “wordpress” look very “square. It seems curves are less fashionable than they once were. I like the Ziara Safaris one.
Great list! Hoping Wanderfly.com can join the ranks of these sites when we launch!
You forgot one

Little Palm Island is my favourite. Gorgeous!
I like the designs. It is very inviting and I believe that it makes people stay on my pages longer. Some people like plain and basic but, others like this. You have to try to meet the needs of all the people.
It’s nice! I like it. I’ve got travel blog, Now I’m thinking about design).
Really inspirational collection. I really like MGM Grand and Sofitel Hotel. All the sites graphics are mind blowing.
Wow, I am speechless. Those really are beautiful and I wish I could be on the island on the Little Palm website. Sigh–they are stunning.
May I add:

Does anybody know any WP themes for tourism looking something like that
The Red Rock Ranch is really good one. Thanks for sharing beautiful travel sites. Here is another site http://www.tourismthamel.com , recently launched beautiful tourism site from Nepal.
I especially like the Little Palm Island simplist website…would love to read a follow up to this article.
I would also like to add one to the list. It’s a place that is relatively unknown to most people but has a really nice tourism site.

some great inspiration again for my website, http://www.tourofnorthindia.com/,
the sites in your list really taught me that a travel website should be about colours and adventure and making the user feel excited about visiting that place! Before I was trying to get the white and minimal look – not appropriate for travel websites I think! Thanks!
Very cool – we do a lot of work in the travel and tourism space. I personally was the creative director on the Red Rock Ranch site. The other links you put up are brilliant. Great post – very useful for designers like myself in this space.
Cheers!
Great list – I just love the Grand Hotel Tremezzo on your list – One of of my favorite is http://www.sunsetvisitor.com ; just nice, sleek and beautiful!
Great collection of websites! Truly inspirational for designers of hospitality websites. I’m working on a school web design project right now and am taking design ideas from the hotels you listed and trying to recreate the website for http://www.harbourtowers.com/
I love the Delano South beach hotel site. Full background layouts are beautiful!
Awesome List !! i love most Little Palm Island website background picture of Little Palm Island is awesome and attractive …
