Your website now has a built-in blog

You no longer need a separate WordPress installation, Hostinger account, or any third-party blogging tool. Your Vacation Labs website now includes a full-featured blog platform — create posts, organize them with categories, and publish directly from the same backoffice where you manage your tours and bookings.

Your blog lives on your main domain (e.g., www.yourdomain.com/blog) instead of a subdomain, which is better for search engine rankings. And because it runs on the same infrastructure as your main website, there are no plugins to update, no security patches to worry about, and no separate hosting to manage.

Why we built this

If you’ve been running a WordPress blog alongside your Vacation Labs website, you’ve likely dealt with at least some of these: hacked installations, malware injections, plugin update anxiety, reverse proxy headaches, or hosting providers shutting down. We’ve seen it all in support tickets — blogs going down, login pages hijacked, entire WordPress installations deleted after security breaches.

The built-in blog eliminates all of this. No WordPress. No plugins. No separate hosting. No security incidents. Just a blog that works, managed from one place.

Create rich blog posts with embedded tours

The blog editor gives you everything you need to write compelling travel content:

Each post has SEO fields (meta title, meta description, URL path, OG image) and three publish states — Draft (not visible), Published (live and in sitemaps), and Unlisted (accessible via direct URL for sharing previews with your team before going public).

Showcase posts anywhere with Blog Cards

A new Blog Cards website section lets you add a carousel of blog posts to any page — your homepage, destination pages, about us, or any static page. Choose automatic mode (filter by category, sort by recent/oldest/alphabetical) to keep it fresh without manual updates, or manual mode to hand-pick and reorder specific posts.

A “Stories from Rajasthan” Blog Cards section on your Rajasthan collection page, filtered by the “Rajasthan” category, is a great way to connect inspiring content with your bookable tours — and it updates automatically as you publish new Rajasthan posts.

Author profiles with social links

Each author can now have a dedicated profile with bio, designation, profile photo, and social media links (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, YouTube, and website). An author box appears on blog posts with the author’s photo, name, bio, and social link icons — adding a personal touch and building credibility with readers.

Author profiles also enrich your blog’s search engine metadata — social links, job titles, and bios are automatically included in the structured data that Google reads, which can improve how your posts appear in search results.

Categories, listings, and sitemaps — all automatic

Organize your posts with categories (drag to reorder, with post counts). Each category gets its own listing page at /blog/category/adventure-travel, and each author gets one at /blog/author/john. Change a category’s URL and a 301 redirect is automatically created from the old URL — no broken links.

Migrating from WordPress? We can help

If you’re currently running a WordPress blog, our support team can help migrate your existing content — posts, images, categories, and authors — to your new built-in blog. Several customers have already made the switch.

Drop us an email at support@vacationlabs.com to get started.

Ready to start blogging

The blog is available on all billing plans at no extra cost. New accounts get blog infrastructure set up automatically — 4 sample posts, 3 categories, a Blog link in the header menu, and a Blog Cards section on the homepage.

If you already have an account, head to Website > Blog in your backoffice to get started. You’ll need the Blog Manager permission — ask your account administrator to enable it if you don’t see the Blog tabs.
