What is Travel Tuesday?

Twitter has a terrific travel community, attracting Travel Agents, Travel Bloggers, Hotel Owners, Airlines, Tour Operators and people genuinely interested in travel and world-wide destinations.

Earlier this year Katy, the Community Manager of ‘Where I’ve Been’ initiated #traveltuesday. You will see that Katy has a huge following on Twitter which has made #traveltuesday a great success and a highlight for many on Twitter.

The concept is not unlike #followfriday but for the travel-minded. The day is a hive of activity adding the #traveltuesday hashtag and a reason for your recommendation of fellow travel tweeps. The hashtag also gets added to tweets of particular interest, so those that undertake a #traveltuesday search will find not only industry tweeps but also interesting links, blogs and the like.

For those new to #traveltuesday here is a list of some of my favourite travel tweeps to get you started;
