Write in Travel writing
Travel writing has specific requirements.
Find an interesting angle. "My Tour of Bangkok" or "London is Really Expensive" is not interesting; "Bangkok's Best Markets" or "Free Museums in London" will catch a few more readers' eyes. Your editor will usually require that you come up with the angle before they sign you up.
Write short. Unless you're writing a book (and you probably shouldn't), publishers expect short, concise pieces of a page or two. That means 250-500 to 800-1000 words.
Write concise. Your readers don't need to know that you boarded a plane or took a taxi from the airport, and any story that starts by saying so will be rejected off the bat. Focus on the core of the story. (Tight word counts help.)
