How the best travel vloggers were chosen:
Like all lists, people will wonder why they’re not on it. I’m positive I missed some good ones, but this is very loose criteria I’d be using if I were hired to cast, produce or pitch a TV show. Creators did not need to meet all criteria, but most.
– Programming: Weekly dedication, quality, storytelling & individual style execution
– Audience: Niche, loyalty, & YouTube friendly
– Blog worthy and/or binge worthy
– Does it bring a new spin to the term “travel video” or “travel show”
– Channel Personality/Talent: brand recognition, hosting & entertainment value
