Top 10 Travel Tweeple

It’s fantastic to be able to bring you another guest post from Lucie Hys . Lucie’s previous contribution Top 10 Social Media Blogs of All Time proved to be one of the most popular that we have had and it’s a real thrill to welcome her again.

Check out Lucie’s OnlineFantastic’s Blog where you will find loads of interesting Social Media and travel related stuff.  You can follow Lucie on Twitter @OnlineFantastic

Being the social media person with a focus on travel industry, I spend many hours a day surrounded by the travel tweeps.  Here are the top 10 people who tweet original & interesing travel tips, deals & quotes, and who I enjoy tweeting with the most ~ I hope you will too!

@lonelyplanet

Great tweeple who know how to talk travel. Unlike many other travel giants, they follow a good number of people and retweet quite a bit. Just tag your travel tweets with #lp, they will review and retweet the best! Btw. I don’t have to say that their tweets rock, right? ;-)

@whereivebeen

Katy is a big fish in the Twitter travel sea, but she will still find time to thank all the tweeple for mentions, which is pretty rare for heavy hitters on Twitter. Fun and informative travel tweets – just like Katy ;-)

@earthXplorer

Gotta love JD – my sweet, inspiring, almost neighbor ;-) He tweets and retweets great travel quotes and tips. Great Twitter friend to have, btw. reach out to him, you will see what I am talking about! ;-)

@Travelzoo

A must-follow Twitter account for travel deal lovers. The true bargains on flights, hotels, attractions start here. Btw. the Travelzoo’s top 20 list is one of the most anticipated events in my life each week :D

@SuuperG

If you love traveling (and talkative tweeps ;-)), you will looove Gina! She listens, responds, helps others… Simply put, Gina is the sweetest & the most caring Twitterer I know (and I know quite a few). She has a great, unique blog filled with her wild adventures and thousands of great connections on Twitter.

@GotSaga

Traveling the world on Twitter with @Gotsaga is super fun & refreshing.  @Gotsaga is one of the most active travel tweeps, so the quality travel updates just keep coming to you without you having to dig.  Plus if you retweet @gotsaga’s post, chances are you will get yours retweeted!

@501places

Andy is my kind of guy – loves writing and eating cake ;-) He is an inspiring travel writer with great sense of humor, so if you want to learn & laugh, you’ve got the right address.

@TourismMarketer

Great compilation of interesting travel and tourism news. The beauty of this account is that you won’t find any selling & self-promoting tweets (at least I didn’t), just trying to keep people informed. Not one tweet that I wouldn’t retweet, it is so good!

@PeterSGreenBerg

The true pro who will help you stay on the top of the latest travel & tourism news. He is not much of a “Twitter talker”, as his Twitter stream is scarce of replies and retweets, but he is a true treasure if you want to stay in the loop of what’s going on in travel industry.

@TripAdvisor

Who wouldn’t love TripAdvisor? Interesting and unique travel content that will provide you with many happy retweets ;-) Great source of travel info that you don’t want to miss.

Happy “Twaveling”!! ;-)

I bet that has given you ‘itchy feet’ looking at that lot, many thanks Lucie for a great Top 10.  Please let us have your comments or additions of other Travel Tweeps that you like.
