    SEO optimization of Travel website is usually same as the one on other type of websites. Usually the travel branch is quite aggressive and many companies are paying much for high ranking and high traffic, so this is the hardest and most terrible niche for SEO.
    However, the onpage optimization is the same like other websites - meta tags, title, content based on specific keywords (should not be mentioned more than 3-5 times in 300 words text), onpage linking.
    Also the SEO optimization is more based to social networks, then search engines. If you rank highly on social networks, definitely will gain power in google too. Never use blackhat technique if you want to have healthy site for long time.

    There are lots of blogs on travel websites which are great to increase your backlink portfolio and also generate natural visits to your site.

    I suggest you to start posting in travel forums,it will help you in establishing brand about your company.

    Do one more thing,start posting your travel package information in online classified sites.

    It will be really helpful.

    You should start proper work on this site. Firstly check on page factor including Title tag, meta tags, Alt tag, Html validity errors. Optimized each page. After the on page choose some keyword,s and start off page tasks. You should start each off page activity including all kind of submissions that will helps to enhance the links visibility on search engines and the other thing to get traffic on you website that are social signals. Social sites are plays an important role to get traffic on your website. You should use facebook, twitter, google plus, pinterst and more social site to get relevant traffic on your site.

    I think, Travel seo is the one of the hardest and toughest seo. If you want to increase traffic try social signals and keep updating with latest news like travel discounts, packages, etc. on social sites like FB, Twitter, etc. where you can get direct buyers. I hope it can be useful for you. :D

    Till now all my tests are that banner ads are quite more useful than standard text link ads, by the following reasons:
    1. Carry traffic
    2. Change for penguin and panda penalty decreases with more than 80%. One of my websites grew to 1st page in google in 1 month after creation only with a few directories submission, facebook profile creation and banner ads from 4-5 top quality websites in the niche. In the second month the website started making average 500 uv daily, while the top days was more than 2000 uv.

    I think you should first go for the Off page SEO and also give a try to Social media i.e. Youtube, Twitter & FB. It works great.

    I am agree with you but after penguin and panda updates off page seo has lost it's some value. So its time to change the tactics, better onpage optimization and content marketing can be the effective process for upcoming days.

    as such competitive in travel line, SEO cannot take as main source to generate traffic anymore . You need to work on SEO but not fully on SEO because high competitive and you need to survive in the short time.

    Google Adwords, Facebook Ads, Buy Travel Blog space ads , email marketing, social media , youtube , exchange links with other related sites, partner with other transportation , hotel , tourism attraction place and allow them to post your ads or link in their sites and try to get win win situations.
