I love travel blogs, and my RSS reader is full of them, some I read every day, some I will read every couple of weeks. I’m not just saying this because I am a blogger, but blogs are incredibly useful for those travelling, those thinking of travelling or even those studying travel.

So here are my top travel blogs of 2007.

Corporate Travel

Runner Up: STA Travel
Winner: We Try Harder

We Try Harder is an excellent example of a company not afraid to create a platform for disgruntled and happy consumers to meet and comment. Whilst the blog could do with more images, the people behind AVIS are not afraid to shy away from those controversial comments.

Travel B2B

Runner Up: Travel Weekly
Winner: Travolution

As someone who is interested in learning more about the travel industry, both of these blogs provide a very good insight into travel. I am unable to get to many travel conferences so it’s great to read about them and I have to congratulate Travel Weekly for their superb coverage of the World Travel Market.

Travel Experiences

Runner Up: Hobo Traveler
Winner: Brave New Traveler

What’s better than reading another travellers experiences before you travel. Both blogs include tons of useful content and cover issues from the environment to travel experiences on the road. I love the magazine format of BNT, and the interviews with the likes of Rolf Potts.

Travel Inspiration

Runner Up: Family Travel Blog
Winner: Lonely Planet

A tough one to decide because Sheila’s blog focuses on a specific niche in travel where as Lonely Planet just covers anything travel. I love both blogs, both inspire me to travel, and I think everyone interested in travelling should have these two blogs bookmarked.

Travellers Travel

Runner Up: Happy Hotelier
Winner: Blissful Travel

The internet has millions of blogs written by travellers and I have tons of blogs written by people who want to write about travel and their experiences as a hobby. Guido and Erica are two of my favourite bloggers at the moment and are obviously passionate about travel.

Travel Agency

Runner Up: Virtual Travel Cast
Winner: Select World Travel

There’s a lack of travel agency blogs, and I’d like to see more travel agencies being adventurous like these two agencies and write about their experiences being a travel agency. Both blogs use travel videos, photographs and content to inspire you to travel.

Yes, this blogger features blogs from the World – and isn’t just concentrating on my home country, and as usual let me know what you think about my list.
