YouTube for Frequent Fliers
MTV Vet recently launched a new site, Travelistic, to provide a forum for travelers to post vacation pictures, movies, stories, tips, and reviews to the whole world.
Travelistic aims to be the YouTube of the travel industry, and has regularly appearing shows professionally produced by MTV, such as “The Thirsty Traveler,” for wine connoisseurs such as Steve and Teresa, and “Focus On,” which explores lesser-known destinations.
The site’s CEO, Nicholas Butterworth, says the site is not designed to compete with existing travel sites such as Expedia and Travelocity, and hopes to syndicate content to major travel sites in order to compliment each other, rather than compete.

There’s at least one other website out there with video focused on travel specifically, TurnHere. Unlike Travelistic, TurnHere only hosts professional short films, no community generated content. We blogged about both sites a couple weeks ago on Inside Traveler, and linked to a number of our favorite (and less than favorite) videos on each. They’re definitely worth checking out.
