Can you promote here?
Promotion is allowed only with moderator permission (or inside designated threads). A short, honest modmail before posting costs two minutes and functions as a safe-conduct pass; skipping it is the most common avoidable removal.
From the rules · Use the dedicated “Travel Apps, Websites & Tools” megathread for launching or linking your product; include what you built, who it helps, pricing/status, and a link.
Links
The rules clearly allow links. A plain-text mention still often outperforms a URL from a young account.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: question, discussion, guide
Headline: short, plain question or destination + ask (e.g. “Planning a trip to Greece — which places should I visit?”). Write in first person, conversational, 150–400 words typical. Open with a clear ask or a brief personal context. Upvoted: specific recommendations, practical tips, personal experiences, clear itineraries. Avoid overt sales; use the Travel Apps/Tools megathread for product posts and include what feedback you want.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.
Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked October 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/travelplanning's rules page before posting anything that matters.
Thread Otter checks this before every send
These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
