As the travel industry evolves, there is a shift from traditional package holidays to personalized travel itineraries. These traditional packages are usually centered around popular tourist destinations, overlooking the hidden destinations in a country that provide a more genuine, cultural, and personal experience.
Additionally, they often assume that all travelers have the same preferences, which is rarely the case. For instance, while one traveler prefers an isolated nature retreat at a destination, another person is looking for adrenaline-pumping adventure activities at the same destination. This expert travel blog addresses this gap by offering local travel agencies a platform to reach a broader audience.
A focus on immersive travel
Lost Between Oceans was created out of a passion for exploring hidden destinations. The founders, Laura and Alexander (both Belgian) who are travelers themselves, recognized that the most rewarding travel experiences often involve booking a tour from a local travel agency who have a deep understanding of their region and can make their client appreciate it like nobody else could.
“We believe that small travel agencies are the unsung heroes of the travel industry,” said Alexander. “These agencies offer travelers personalized and authentic experiences that larger companies cannot replicate. Our objective is to create more exposure to local businesses, giving them the recognition and audience they deserve,” said Laura.
Highlighting local agencies through content
Lost Between Oceans supports small travel agencies by creating content that highlights the personalized tours of these businesses. The blog includes detailed guides, travel narratives, and expert advice, all designed to inform and inspire. In each of these blog posts, they look, contact, and include local travel operators, a time-consuming but rewarding process. Laura: “This strategy, together with carefully researched topics, SEO optimized content, and an inviting lay-out got us a nomination in the renowned TBEX Travel Creator Awards as Best Travel Blog in 2024”.
For instance, a recent blog post titled “The Truth About Visiting Guatape” provides a travel guide to one of the most colorful cities in the world with the second-largest monolithic rock in South America. Yet, this destination is unknown to the normal traveler in Colombia. That is why throughout the article several local tour operators are mentioned.
Another post, “Golden Circle Iceland: First Timer’s Guide” connects readers with sustainable travel agencies specialized in providing personalized Icelandic tours. For example, for every tour a person books, a tree will be planted.
The last post describes Laura & Alexander’s visit to the 1000-year-old Uluwatu Temple which sits on a 70-meter cliff overlooking the Indian Ocean. This cultural activity is often ignored by the major tour companies yet very much appreciated by visitors.
Conclusion
Lost Between Oceans is a travel blog committed to promoting local tour operators who offer personalized travel experiences. By connecting travelers with local guides and adventures, Lost Between Oceans aims to enrich the travel experience for everybody.
