Some great inspiration here. I work in the travel industry myself as a web designer. If only my company wasn’t so damn corporate I’d be able to acheive things like this! Thanks for the post!
What about NG Expedition? http://www.nationalgeographicexpeditions.com/home
I also liked this list of sites.
Toursim Australia also have some pretty impressive designs for their web sites and portals.
Daus,
Looks good. I like that one too.
I agree with John Chen.

Some great examples of tourism web design, fantastic to see some alpine sites getting a mention.
Villa Bianca Hotel, Lanikai Properties, are my preferite! Are agood examples of tourism webdesign. And sometimes help those who must choose. Thanks for the sharing! Is in my bookmart!
Very nice, some great photography. American states have some awesome sites, wish English counties would follow their lead.
I’m a big fan of Go Glamping and it’s illustrated style, our site uses a similar look.
i really like which looks as web 2.0 designs, hope you share more beautiful stuff in future thanks.
Very nice – like the summertime in Tenesse site
Nice collection, thanks for including my site ausmag.de. Would have been nice to see my travel community http://www.globalzoo.de featured in here too
keep it up!
Great collection! Here’s my smaller collection to add to that… http://shicksdesign.com/onlifeanddesign/index.php/19/top-10-designed-travel-websites/
very business anywhere across the globe has a wish of creating its own online presence. This is the only major reason why most of the organizations need help of the best website design provider services. They require these services to increase the number of visitors and then convert them into sales for their organization. Web design Boynton Beach FL provides the best of the services.
like your collection!
check the website of the swiss travel agent Kuoni http://www.kuoni.ch
wow sweet collection,I will follow this bl;og for now on great content!
Awesome collection! You could also check this out: Bregamo Travel.
Thanks everyone for the feedback and the additional suggestions for inclusion. There are a lot of great sites that you have pointed out. Maybe they will be used in a follow up post at some point.
Nice collection!
I think one of the best travel-sites is tuifly. A cheap airline.

The majority of these show just how much of a difference a single, strong image can make to a design. Thanks, will bookmark in case I ever get any travel-related design work!
Great list, but is it just me or do you have the urge to travel now?
fantastic!
once again…
Nice list, reminds me that I need a vacation…
Pretty good list. That ‘Monterey’ website looks fantastic! I also liked the ‘Design Hotels’ website.
amazing!!!! they are all sooooooooo beautiful.
Nice post, but the list is a little US-centric. Have a look at http://www.dopplr.com, http://www.joobili.com and http://www.tourdust.com for some cool european travel designs.
Villa Bianca Hotel is by far the best model there. Not that the others aren’t good, they are all beautiful, but Villa Bianca Hotel has the perfect blend of colors to make the site seem calm, refreshing, and the place you HAVE to go to if you want to relax.
But then again, that’s what good designs are supposed to do. They convince you that you’re at the right place even before you read anything.
Great selections!
Peter,
Agreed, it is mostly US sites. Thanks for the additional suggestions.
Just want to say ‘thank you’ for including our Go Glamping site in your list, we’re really chuffed, especially given the fact our site originates from Europe
I love the Summertime in Tennessee site!
web desgin especially for travel industry is a creative work for any designer.
A very nice collections. Awesome. Very Creative. Aptly titled Design Inspirations.
Killa web design bro, i’ll have to nick some ideas
Very cool designs. I liked Lanikai Properties especially.
I really do like the Villa Bianca Hotel web sight, especially the birds that fly across the screen when you open the sight. Full marks to the designers and thank you for bringing all there sight together.
how about A&K?? They have a gorgeous website, http://abercrombiekent.com
I really like this article. Gives a nice overview of the quality of tourism sites out there. Getting a great Website Development. company to develop a website that looks as good as any of these is essential.
Just an amazing list of great design – When it comes to travel sites, the pictures play an amazing role on the overall design of the site.
Shouldn’t Motel6 be on this list? =) Great job on putting together the list.
what about http://www.masocorniolo.it, simple but good enough.
I’d like to add a new site we (the National Park Service) just launched about the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail. The url is http://www.smithtrail.net. Check it out. I feel like it’s as good as some of the sites listed here.
Michael,
Wow, I really like that site. Thanks for leaving the link.
I agree with John Chen.

thanks for featuring our WestCity hotel website
Great to see Signature Attractions on there for Atlantic Canada Tourism Destinations, and Headspace Design as the design firm.
These are great…in the same vain is the new Anne of Green Gables tourism website just launched:
http://www.foreveranne.com for Anne fans, as PEI is perhaps best known for that!
A few more:

Hi Everyone
Is there any designer out there with time to design a travel website for me, only one city. Very inspiring sites.
Some excellent sites here, I particlarly like the http://www.campr.co.uk site – very clean, clear and easy to navigate. We are flying the flag for the UK in a small way right now – with our local tourist guides – offering comprehensive detailed info.
Glad to see travel web sites are getting better
Great article. Here’s one for your list:
