§ 37Industry file · Travel or tourism

Travel and tourism business names that sound like somewhere.

A travel name sells a feeling before a product: it should hint at a place, a pace or a way of seeing, and be easy to say in a booking enquiry. The Wander, Nomad and Odyssey words have been worked to death, and the best names find a specific detail instead.

§ 03House rules

Naming a travel or tourism business: what to weigh.

  1. R.01

    Make the name a place or a pace

    Travellers buy a feeling. A name with a place (Saltmarsh, Foothill) or a speed (Slow Passage) tells them what kind of trip they will have, which is more useful than Adventure or Explore.

  2. R.02

    Check licensing and bonding names

    Tour operators and travel agents are often licensed, bonded or required to join a consumer-protection scheme under their registered name. Confirm the name is available and consistent before you apply.

  3. R.03

    Avoid the Wander shelf

    Wander, Nomad, Odyssey, Voyage, Journey and Globe are everywhere. A specific image or a regional word will get you further, and be easier to rank for.

  4. R.04

    Think about languages

    If you serve international customers, say the name in the main languages of your clients and check it does not mean something awkward. Short, plain names survive translation best.

  5. R.05

    Own the destination keyword in your pages

    Your name is the brand, but pages should carry the destination (“walking holidays in the Dolomites”). A distinct name plus clear page titles is better than a name stuffed with keywords.

DoPatterns that work

  • A pace or manner of travelling: Slow Passage, Mile Marker, Window Seat.
  • A navigation or document word: Longitude, Postmark Journeys, Passport Pending.
  • A landscape plus Trails or Travel: Saltmarsh Trails, Quiet Coast Travel.
  • A food or comfort pair: Back Roads & Bread, Compass & Kettle.

Don’tThings to avoid

  • Wander, Nomad, Odyssey, Voyage and Globe in the main line.
  • Names that suggest a destination you do not serve.
  • Over-promising words such as Ultimate and Extreme.
  • Puns on plane or trip terms that are used by dozens of agencies.
Q.01Should a travel business name include a destination?
If you specialise in a place, yes, and it helps search. If you may add destinations, use a name for the style of travel instead, and put places in your page titles and itineraries.
Q.02Do travel companies need a licence to use a name?
In many countries, tour operators and agents must be licensed or part of a protection scheme, often under the registered name. Check the rules for the countries you sell in before you print brochures.
Q.03How do I check a travel business name is free?
Search the business register, travel-industry directories, the trademark register in class 39 and social handles. Look at international results too, as travel customers can come from anywhere.
Q.04Do I need a .com for a travel company?
Mostly yes, since customers book online and trust the .com most. If your name is taken, consider a name with a destination or a style of travel in it, which can make a better domain anyway.
