The best travel website design templates are picked by business type first and looks second. A travel agency needs package pages and an inquiry form, a tour operator needs dates and bookings, a hotel or B&B needs room availability, and a travel blog needs fast, readable posts. Before you fall for the hero photo, check how a template handles inquiries or bookings, because that's where most of them stop. Below are 12 templates we checked live, grouped by business type, plus what booking costs on each platform. Prices were checked on each vendor's own page on October 19, 2026.
Search for travel website templates and you get galleries: thousands of thumbnails of turquoise water. What the thumbnails don't show is whether a visitor can pick a date, see a price and send a request without leaving the page.
At a glance: what a travel website costs to run

What makes a good travel website design?
The best travel sites sell a specific trip, not a mood. Every template in this list shares a similar skeleton, and the ones worth using get these right:
- Full-width destination photos that load fast on a phone. Compress them. A 6 MB hero image on hotel Wi-Fi is a bounce.
- Tour or package cards with a "from" price, duration and one line on who it's for.
- An itinerary page per trip, day by day, so a visitor can picture it.
- A dates-based inquiry or booking form. "Contact us" with a blank message box converts worse than a form that asks for dates, group size and budget.
- A map, at least for multi-stop trips.
- Reviews from past travellers, placed near the booking button.
- Clear contact details, including the time zone you answer in.
Notice what's missing from most template demos: availability, deposits and what happens after someone hits submit.
12 travel website templates by business type
Each of these was live in its vendor's gallery on October 19, 2026. Wix has by far the deepest travel gallery, so it dominates; Squarespace fills in where its designs fit better.
Travel agency
1. Travel Agent (Elegant), Wix. Wix pitches it at travel agents, tour operators and travel services, with sections for packages and services. Good for an agent selling curated packages who wants a polished, quiet look.
2. Travel Agency (Eco Friendly), Wix. Built around destinations and sustainable travel. If your niche is eco tourism or adventure planning, the positioning is already written into the layout.
3. Fillmore, Squarespace. Squarespace's own travel agent roundup recommends it for experience-first businesses: a full-screen image up front and a prominent inquiry button. Best for agents who sell the feeling of a trip before the details.
Tour operator
4. Adventure Tour Company (Natural), Wix. The only tour template in this list whose description says it integrates Wix Bookings for scheduling tours, plus Wix Blog for trip stories. Start here if you run fixed-time tours.
5. Strade, Squarespace. Designed for a cycling tours business, which makes it a natural fit for multi-day, itinerary-driven trips.
6. Air, Squarespace. Made for an adventure and experience business. Loud, photo-led and suited to bucket-list trips where the picture does the selling.
Hotel, B&B and hostel
7. B&B (Serene), Wix. A calm layout for bed and breakfasts and short-term rentals. Few pages, which is the right number for a six-room inn.
8. Resort, Wix. Wix's description says it works with Wix Hotels for managing bookings and reservations. Pick this if you want room booking inside the same system as the site.
9. Hostel (Friendly), Wix. A warmer, more social design for hostels and budget lodging. For more lodging options, Wix keeps a separate hotels and B&Bs gallery.
Travel blog
10. Travel Blog (Sophisticated), Wix. Built on the Wix Blog app, with sections for adventures and tips. The cleanest of the blog options here.
11. Travel Blog (Earthy Tones), Wix. A warmer, story-first blog for lifestyle and adventure writing.
12. Travel Blog & Podcast, Wix. A simpler layout for text and photo posts on the move. Fine for a side project; you'll outgrow it if the blog becomes the business.

Free vs paid travel templates: what's the difference?
Less than you'd think in design, a lot in what's included.
Wix's own templates come with its editor; the Wix plans page lists "1000's of templates" even on the Free plan. Its marketplace sells third-party designs on top: the Travel Agency template by Emilia.Co Design Studios is $241 and lists a dynamic CMS for itineraries and deals, inquiry forms and itinerary pages; the Travel & Trip Blog by WixDevArt is $49. What you're paying for is the content structure, mainly itinerary pages wired to a CMS, not prettier photos.
Colorlib's travel collection showed 43 HTML templates when we checked. The template pages we opened list a CC BY 3.0 licence, which means free with attribution; a $19 Single purchase adds a year of support and updates. Colorlib itself says on its template pages that an HTML template still needs work before it's a functional website. You host it, you connect the form, you add booking.
So: free is good enough for a brochure site or a blog. Once you take bookings, the template's price matters less than the booking tool behind it.
How do you add booking to a travel website?
There are three routes, and they suit different businesses.
Use the builder's own booking. On Wix, scheduling and services start on the Core plan, and tour or hotel templates hook into Wix Bookings or Wix Hotels. This is the shortest path for a small operator with simple departures.
Bolt on a scheduler. Squarespace's answer is Acuity Scheduling: Starter $16 a month billed annually, Standard $27 and Premium $55 ($20, $34 and $69 billed monthly). Squarespace's travel agency page also leans on invoices and deposits, which fits agents who quote custom trips rather than sell fixed slots. Webflow's pricing page lists no booking feature, so on Webflow you'd add a third-party tool.
Build the booking logic. Fixed-time tours and room nights are solved problems. Custom trips with a deposit, a balance due 60 days out, a minimum group size and seasonal pricing usually aren't, and that's where people end up running half the business by email. Our booking system builder comparison sorts tools by how much rule complexity they can carry, and the equipment rental guide covers the closely related problem of availability by date range.
How do you build a travel agency website from a template?
With most builders, you pick a design, swap in your photos and copy, and connect a booking tool. With an AI app builder like Greta.sh, a template means something different: a written specification.
Each template on Greta.sh's templates page is a data model, a list of screens and a starter prompt, shown on the page. There's no travel template today. The closest is the booking app template: services, staff availability, a public booking page, customer accounts and an admin calendar, with slot rules that stop double bookings. Its own FAQ says to rename the services and staff and the rest of the model still fits.
For a small tour operator, that looks like this:
- Open the booking app template and read its data model and screens.
- Edit the starter prompt: services become tours with a duration and price, staff become guides, and you add a group-size limit per departure and a day-by-day itinerary page for each tour.
- Click "Build this with Greta". Greta.sh opens with the prompt filled in and builds the app with seed data and its own database.
- Ask for the extras in plain English. The template page suggests connecting Stripe to take a deposit or full payment at booking, and Resend for confirmation and reminder emails.
- Deploy to a live URL and connect your own domain.
Pricing starts with a Free plan of 5 credits a day for building; deployment and a custom domain start on Starter at $5 a month on the welcome offer (normally $20 a month). The pricing page lists Database among the Pro plan's features, at $20 a month on the welcome offer (normally $50), so check which plan your build needs. Finished projects people share are in the Greta.sh marketplace, and our marketing templates guide covers landing pages and quizzes built the same way.
The honest version: if you sell fixed tours at fixed times, a Wix tour template with Wix Bookings will be live this week and you won't maintain any code. Build your own when the booking rules are the business: deposits by season, group minimums, custom quotes that turn into bookings.

How much does a travel agency website cost?
Add the three layers: the template, the plan and the booking tool.
A Squarespace agency site on Basic is $19 a month billed annually; add Acuity Starter at $16 and you're at $35 a month before payment processing. Need memberships, packages or a waitlist in Acuity? Standard is $27, putting you at $46.
On Webflow, the Basic site plan is $15 a month billed yearly, and selling online starts with Ecommerce Standard at $29 a month billed yearly plus a 2% transaction fee. You'd still add booking yourself.
A free Colorlib template costs nothing to license, but you pay for hosting, a form service and a booking tool separately, plus your own time.
On Wix, a marketplace template is a one-off cost ($49 to $241 for the two above), and the monthly cost is whichever plan includes scheduling and payments for your region.
For a deeper look at the build-your-own side, our booking and scheduling app guide covers time zones, double booking and reminders. If you run a studio or gym rather than trips, the same template logic applies to gym website templates.
Frequently asked questions
Which template features matter most for a travel site?
Package or tour cards with prices and durations, an itinerary page per trip, a booking or inquiry form that asks for dates and group size, fast-loading photos and reviews near the booking button.
How do I add booking to a travel website?
Use your builder's own tool (Wix Bookings or Wix Hotels on plans that include scheduling), add a scheduler such as Acuity Scheduling on Squarespace, or build custom booking logic when you have deposits, group minimums or seasonal pricing.
How much does a travel agency website cost?
Roughly $35 a month on Squarespace Basic billed annually with Acuity Starter, before payment fees. Webflow starts at $15 a month for a site, but you add booking yourself. Free HTML templates cost nothing to license but need hosting and a booking tool.
Are free travel templates good enough?
For a brochure site or a travel blog, yes. The Colorlib travel templates we checked are free under a CC BY 3.0 licence with attribution, and Wix's own templates come with its editor. Paid marketplace templates mostly add structure such as CMS-driven itinerary pages.
Which AI tools offer a template marketplace for quick deployments?
Greta.sh has a templates page with full app specifications (data model, screens and a starter prompt) that open in Greta.sh with the prompt filled in, plus a marketplace of shared projects. Its booking app template is the closest starting point for a tour business.
