2026 Travel Internships in New York

It’s pretty easy to see why travel internships are so highly sought after—you are paid to visit new cities, meet new people, and take on the bucket-list your friends wish they could tackle. Your internship in the travel industry could range from serving as a photo-journalist for National Geographic to a business operations analyst for Southwest Airlines; either of which would give you an experience of a lifetime (FYI: Southwest interns fly free). However, it is important to identify what you want to do as a “travel intern.” Unfortunately, you probably won’t find a position that simply pays you to visit exotic corners of Australia without a concrete task. Identify your goals you hope to achieve—whether it is brushing up your social media skills blogging for a travel website, or learning about information technology as it pertains to online travel agencies. Travel internships vary a fair amount, and the options are practically unlimited. So maybe you weren’t able to go study abroad or you were dragged back onto campus after a limited experience in Europe. In any case, internships in the travel industry are unparalleled opportunities, and give you the chance to break out your inner-Anthony Bourdain in you, one way or another.
