WikiProject Travel and Tourism was started on May 17, 2007, to coordinate work for and expand coverage of travel and tourism related articles in the English Wikipedia. Of course Wikipedia has encyclopedia articles about travel and tourism – for a travel guide wiki, contribute to the sister project Wikivoyage.
Anyone who is interested in contributing, please sign up below and post any ideas and suggestions on the project's talk page. Also, please feel free to edit this page, adding any articles to the open tasks section below, that need serious work or require attention.
This WikiProject aims to coordinate and help maintain the development of and improvements to the articles related to travel and tourism. Listed below, you will find tasks and other information related to this WikiProject.
Coordinators are volunteers that are interested in helping "running" the project in a way. This does not mean that they control the project or are the "CEOs" of it. It means that they would like to accept a responsibility.
Cleanup volunteer travel. The article sounds more like a dedicated volunteer vacation site, than an encyclopedia.
Create new Tourism in ____ articles with the countries in Africa. Per this: Africa in topic|Tourism in We don't have very many tourism-related Africa articles. Also, be sure to check the templates for other continents, too.
Assess as many articles as we can. We're just starting off, and we need as much help as we can get.
Nautical tourism, created Feb 2007, has been an orphan and that entire time and tagged for cleanup. Desperately needs attention, or simply deletion. --Lendorien (talk) 15:33, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
Travel agency - Needs to be updated with more current information, some of the references are over 7 years old and are dated. Will work on getting newer references, any help is appreciated! --Funandtrvl (talk) 15:27, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
Business travel is in desperate need of help. About half the article was copied from a commercial web site, and I removed that part. The rest is completely unsourced and reads like some travel agent's brochure. Rees11 (talk) 14:02, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
Hotel, motel and resort are all start-class with motel in particular having been turned into a mess of US-specific trivia. These are core topics and therefore do need to be cleaned up to a usable level. K7L (talk) 15:21, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
I'd be grateful if someone from your project could re-assess the article Palace on Wheels. I have just re-assessed it for the Trains Wikiproject, as it had been outrageously over-rated (on both quality and importance scales), possibly by someone with a WP:COI promoting the topic. I suspect it is also over-assessed for your project, but I am not a member of Travel & Tourism. Thank you. Chris Golds (talk) 10:41, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
These are potential articles that project members have requested be created for the Wikipedia. If you know of a notable subject for an article that isn't listed here and want to create the article right away, please do so.
