## Travel & Hospitality PR — frequently asked questions

**What is travel PR?**

Travel and hospitality PR is the practice of earning media coverage and credibility for hotels, destinations, and travel brands — getting featured by travel writers, placed on best-of lists, booked on podcasts, hosting the right press trips, and recommended when travelers ask AI assistants where to stay. It combines media relations, press trips, awards, and generative engine optimization (GEO).

**How do travel and hospitality brands get press coverage?**

The fastest paths are answering travel journalist requests on HARO, Connectively, X, and LinkedIn; pitching seasonal and off-the-radar angles; hosting targeted press visits; executive bylines on industry shifts; and podcast guest spots. Featured surfaces all of these in one chat and drafts pitches that lead with the story no one else is telling.

**How much does travel PR cost?**

PR budgets vary widely with scope, goals, and the partners involved. Featured itself is free to start, with paid plans at $39/month (Lite) and $79/month (Pro, billed annually) — and every plan includes every capability: journalist requests, podcasts, bylines, awards, monitoring, and GEO tracking. Many travel brands and their agency partners run Featured alongside their existing PR programs.

**What is GEO (generative engine optimization) for travel brands?**

GEO is the practice of improving how AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini recommend your property or destination. When travelers ask “best boutique hotels in [destination]” or plan trips conversationally, those answers are built from travel press, guides, reviews, and lists. Featured audits your AI visibility for your destination's planning prompts and tracks changes over time.

**How do I get my property mentioned in ChatGPT and Perplexity answers?**

AI engines cite brands that appear consistently across credible sources: travel press, best-hotel lists, guidebooks, review platforms, and travel newsletters. That means earned media is the input to AI visibility. Run a GEO audit to see where you stand today, then close the gap with journalist requests, bylines, and podcast placements — and measure weekly.

**Is HARO still active for travel sources?**

Yes. Featured owns and operates HARO (Help a Reporter Out) and Connectively, and an expert is connected with a publisher every 6 seconds across the platforms. Travel topics — trip trends, loyalty programs, under-the-radar destinations — are among the most frequently requested source categories, and Featured matches you to relevant queries automatically.

**How do I find travel journalists to pitch?**

Ask Featured to build a media list of reporters who have covered your topic in the last 90 days — for example, “journalists writing about shoulder-season travel.” You'll get names, outlets, beats, and recent headlines, so every pitch references the reporter's actual work instead of going in cold.

**How long does travel PR take to show results?**

Journalist-request responses can land placements within days, since reporters are on deadline. Bylines and podcasts typically take 2–8 weeks from pitch to publish. AI visibility moves more slowly: expect roughly 1–3 months for new coverage to shift how AI assistants answer, which is why continuous tracking beats one-off audits.

**Who uses Featured for travel PR?**

Hotel GMs and marketing leads, destination marketers, tour operators, and agencies scaling coverage for travel clients. Agencies are among Featured's power users: the co-pilot handles opportunity discovery, drafting, and monitoring around the clock, so strategists can spend their time on messaging, relationships, and counsel.

**Which travel awards and podcasts should we target?**

Start with the recognized reader-voted lists — Travel + Leisure and Condé Nast-style programs — plus industry awards, then let Featured track timing and how winners typically campaign. For podcasts, Featured's database tracks 814,000 active shows; describe your property in plain language and it returns travel shows that actually book hospitality guests.
