EXPLORE INFORMED is a travel show where we dig into the details of travel, investigate an interesting topic, or attempt to answer a common question -- all with the goal of hopefully learning something new so that next time we go exploring, we go better informed.
We hope to provide information, advice, and education in the form of travel tips, travel hacks, travel essentials, and even travel warnings or things to watch out for - so you can explore the world a little smarter.
Please Note: Unless otherwise noted, I am NOT being paid or reimbursed to talk about specific travel brands (e.g., airlines, hotel chains, tour operators). My intent is to simply offer my true, honest opinion based on what I know, research, read, etc.
Booking.com - Travel Proud: We filter places, not people (2021)
In 2021, a slow year for global travel, Booking.com 'all of a sudden' realized that LGBT+ travellers may face problems and situations that other travellers won't. Something that has been known for at least 50 years, but it was an epiphany @ Booking! So, they created Travel Proud, to train and certify accommodations.
A big marketing campaign was set up in 2021, with a series of videos, one of which you see here.
At Booking.com, we believe that life is made richer with new experiences and that nothing should stand in the way of us having them. Travel Proud is our way of helping to remove some of the barriers that LGBT+ travellers can face. We help them find the most welcoming places to stay. Places where they can show up as all of themselves. #TravelProud

Booking.com | Idris Says Things (Uncensored)
Is there such a thing as being too honest? Watch Idris Elba in the Booking.com Big Game ad, as he said it and how we intended it. Before we had to tone it down.

Thanks to Golden Globe winning and Emmy nominated actor, filmmaker and musician, Idris Elba for being such a great creative partner. Thanks to all of Idris' team. And thanks to the big, talented team who collaborated on this project to make it happen:

✅ Get Your FREE 10-Point Direct Booking Optimization Checklist:
This entire video is about direct bookings and WHY I do NOT have a direct booking website.
WTF Bill? How do you take direct bookings without a website?
Because I use a Sales Page instead of an expensive website that I can’t update because I don’t know how to code.
PLUS,
A Sales Page converts at a much higher rate than a website, and I can make one just like the one you will see in the video in less than 30-45 minutes on my own with no coding required.
The platform I use to build my sales pages is called LeadPages. I’ve been using it for almost eight years as it is quick, easy, doesn’t require coding, and has over 300 templates already built for me to choose from.
Here is a link to get a LeadPages Free Trial so you can test it out -
Plus, I already have sale pages built inside my Host Academy ( for Urban, Lake, Beach, Ski, and Mountain properties that allow the members of this program and myself to quickly duplicate and customize as we have already designed the templates for you.
The ability to create full-blown marketing funnels with Facebook Ads leading to a Sales Page is one of my biggest advantages as a short term rental host. Our Host Academy members are the only people that have access to our pre-built Advertising Campaigns that work for Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram ads.
If you didn’t watch the video, then scroll up, so you get all the details of why Sales Pages drive more conversions than expensive websites.

Booking.com x Surfrider Foundation Europe
On May 26th 2018, a team of over 60 Booking Cares Volunteers joined forces with Surfrider Foundation Holland Coast and together, completed a mass clean-up of the Amsterdam beach, Zandvoort aan Zee. Not only did the volunteers save a staggering 210 kilos of waste from entering the ocean, but they created this video to generate public awareness, inspire and encourage locals and tourists to combat ocean pollution.
Lots of those volunteering at Zandvoort aan Zee got their hands dirty by cleaning the beach, while many others leveraged their skills as part of expertise based tasks in areas such as planning, photography and copywriting, in order to create the inspirational film and support our mission of improving destinations.
We look forward to sharing many more great initiatives like this one, from our employees all around the world.
