Thanks for sharing this detailed thread. I agree the use of classified ads and guest posting are reliable sources to promote your travel packages. However, as this pandemic severely affect the operations and sales of the travel industry, that's why the travel industry should consider out of the box online marketing opportunities. In this regard, I would like to suggest you the following ways to promote your travel packages:
Social Media Marketing: First of all, your travel agency must have a social media presence, and with the use of right marketing strategies, you should engage the target audience at social networking sites. The use of social media ad campaigns via exciting banner ads could be more effective. However, if you are thinking that you would need a banner designer and other experts then you are wrong. With this ad banner maker, you can design your social media ad with great ease, and it would take only a few minutes to start your social media campaign.
Try Organic Traffic Services: If you don't have much experience in social media and online marketing, then you can also go with internet traffic services. I would suggest you to try Simple Traffic services to get real traffic for your travel packages link or blog. However, it is essential to check the authenticity of such offers before proceeding with them.
Travel Forums: No doubt, you should also include travel forums in your list. Yes, travel-oriented forums are also the best sources to engage potential customers.
Hopefully, this Covid-19 pandemic would over soon and travel industry would able to get the benefit of their online promotion campaigns.
