Rooms and seats always need filling, destinations promoting, tickets selling, and dreams fulfilling in the travel and hospitality sector. A professional travel copywriter can make all the difference to your brand – and your bottom line.
To take just one area of the travel sector, there are over 700,000 hotels and resorts in the world. They range from the globe’s supposed only 8-star hotel, the Burj Al Arab in Dubai, to the ones where the only stars on offer are those viewable through the holes in the ceiling.
So there’s a lot of competition out there, and it takes the right kind of persuasive content to get those bookings in – and keep customers coming back for more.
I also understand the needs of different markets and cultures, with clients in over 25 countries and 6 continents, and have lived abroad and travelled extensively. For samples of my work for overseas clients, please see my British copywriter page

Travel tech copywriting
Like many other sectors, the world of travel, tourism and hospitality has been revolutionised by technology. Travel Tech is now a recognised term, and companies like Amadeus and Airbnb have been pioneering it for many years, with the latter in turn driving a wealth of tech start-ups.
Over around ten years, I’ve written web copy, brochures, newsletters and sales collateral for Amadeus. I’ve also written extensively for Airbnb since 2018, primarily for Airbnb Plus properties, but also for Airbnb hotels.
With extensive fintech copywriting and property copywriting experience, I also have the knowledge to meet your writing challenge and to help bring your technology to life and deliver more business and new customers.
Your hospitality, event or travel website and search engine optimisation
Talking of technology, one of the most advanced and complex, and perhaps the most influential of all technology systems out there is the Google algorithm.
You can’t spam it. But you can (or rather I can) write the right kind of content to ensure your site ranks well. I’ve been writing search engine optimised copy for around 20 years now. If your travel, hospitality or event website needs to rank well with the search engines, I know what to write and the optimal terms to use.
Travel copywriting testimonials
“We specialise in volunteering overseas. Despite being a small company in a crowded market, the changes Peter made has resulted in our being on the first page of Google for numerous search terms and we’ve had many more enquiries as a result.”
James Chapman, Director, Outreach International
“A great conceptor [and] a practical solid writer, capable of responding to just about any brief. Whether as part of a creative team, or working on his own, I highly recommend hiring Mr Wise. His day rate will be more expensive than most other writers. But be assured, he is worth every single penny.”
Iain Morrison, Visit Britain
“Thanks for all your consistent hard work – you’ve been such a valuable asset to the Airbnb Plus project and I appreciate your thoughtfulness and dependability!”
Jane Mulcahy, Project Manager, World Writers, USA
