Partner with RealFoodTraveler

[adning id=”124″]

Our readers: People who visit realfoodtraveler.com (RFT) are passionate about both food and travel. They have the interest, the time, and the money to indulge in both of these passions. They’re looking for authentic travel experiences, including exploring artisan and regional foods, restaurants and other food purveyors, tours, festivals, and accommodations that genuinely reflect the places that they visit. They are also keen to read stories about destinations, our recommendations for travel gear and cooking equipment, and our reviews of the latest cookbooks and travel books. In other words, the perfect audience and the perfect place for you to advertise.

Since our initial launch more than a decade ago, realfoodtraveler.com has attracted a loyal following and our influence continues to grow. We’ve been mentioned in publications like the Oregonian (state’s largest newspaper), MotorHome magazine (the largest RV magazine in the United States), Home & Away (AAA), Northwest Travel magazine, and Harbors magazine, among others. Recent analysis shows that realfoodtraveler.com gets more than a half million unsolicited, unpaid “impressions” on the web. Through website impressions and social media reach (across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest), we have a total reach of between 650,000 and 790,000 per month! That’s a lot of exposure to readers who love travel and food who have both the means and the interest to experience both.

In 2015, 2016, and 2017, we were awarded Best Website Awards by the Society of American Travel Writers (Western Chapter), the largest professional travel writers association in the world.

Great Storytelling/Photos. We still feature great stories written by top-level writers and large, luscious photographs. In fact, several of our contributors have all won prestigious awards for their realfoodtraveler.com stories. And unlike print publications where today’s headlines become tomorrow’s birdcage liner, realfoodtraveler.com stories are perpetual. With our easy-to-navigate categories or using our powerful search function, our readers can access and read stories again and again. That means readers will continue to see your ads.

Increasingly, companies, travel marketers, and public relations firms see realfoodtraveler.com as the expert in culinary travel. They are seeking out RFT writers and editors to write about the products, services, places, and destinations they represent. Our expert panels are busy testing and evaluating travel products from companies like LL Bean, Travel Smith, Black Diamond, Eagle Creek, Tilley Endurables, Bollé, Ventev, Patagonia, and many more. We’ve partnered with firms like IMUSA, Cookina, T-Fal, Wearever, KitchenAid, and others to sample, test, and write about their products.

The Best Accommodations/Places to Eat. Our writers and editors are staying in hotels like the Fairmont, the Waldorf-Astoria, Pan Pacific, Glen Eagles, Pacific Rim, Four Seasons, Sheraton, Omni, and others to evaluate their accommodations and service for our readers. We’re traveling around the world and dining at well-known restaurants like Chef Mavro and Morimoto Waikiki in Hawaii, Seven Glaciers in Alaska, the Painted Boat Resort in British Columbia and lesser-known culinary gems like Tracy’s Crab Shack in Juneau and the Halfway House in Brinnon, Washington. Working together, we’re bringing readers the best in culinary travel and travel and food-related products and services. And that keeps our readers engaged and coming back.

In addition, we’ve increased our social media presence. Our stories and posts are blasted out via Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram.

Targeted marketing: Advertising on realfoodtraveler.com enables you to reach a very specific, targeted market. We don’t write about anything unrelated to our mission: to bring our readers the very best in authentic travel and regional and artisan foods worldwide. That’s our commitment to our readers and to you as advertisers.
