How to Use Our Free Travel Industry News RSS Feed

Last modified: (29 September 2023)  Since ASIATravelTips.com / TravelNewsAsia.com was established in 1997 we have used Really Simple Syndication (RSS) to publish the travel industry news we feature on a daily basis.

Some of the benefits of using RSS Feeds include the fact that you do not need to share your email address or any other data with us to get the feed as it auto syncs, you can unsubscribe easily at any time and there is no danger of the feed bouncing or being sent to the spam folder. It really is that, er, simple!

So if it is so great, why doesn't everyone use it? The answer to that question is also very simple - companies can't monetize it. If you subscribe to our RSS Feed via Outlook on your desktop, or Feedly on Android or the web, for example, we would never know. Great for you, not great if you are a company trying to build a database with which to profile the demographics of subscribers and monetize that list.

Subscribing to our Travel Industry News RSS Feed could not be easier. There are many ways to subscribe to the RSS Feed:

1) Outlook: Right-click the RSS Feeds folder in Outlook on your desktop and select Add a New RSS Feed, enter the URL of our RSS Feed and then click Add.

Another way in Outlook is to click the File tab, click Account Settings and then choose Account Settings. Select the RSS Feeds tab and click New. Copy and paste the url of the RSS Feed into the box and click Add.

2) From a Webpage: When you see the RSS Feed icon or on a webpage, click on it and when the RSS Feed opens, choose Subscribe.

3) Extensions: There are also extensions, such as RSS Feed Reader, FeedLab/Feedly for example, in all the popular browsers such as Edge, Firefox and Chrome etc. which make subscribing, reading and syncing RSS feeds extremely simple.

4) Browsers: Most major browsers are also currently working on enabling direct RSS Feed subscriptions within the browser itself without the need to download an extension. Microsoft Edge for example is gradually enabling RSS Feeds via Collections, which you can read about here. Google's Chrome browser started trials of an RSS Feed service in May 2021, you can read about the desktop version here and Android version here.

6) Readers: There are also quite a few RSS readers available on the web, Android etc. such as FeedLab/Feedly, NewsBlur, Feedreader, feeder and Good News, to name but a few. We highly recommend Feedly, as it is so easy to use and extremely popular. It does require you to register, but it is an easy process and once you have you no longer need to do anything, just add your favourite feeds which update automatically.

The simplicity and privacy of Outlook's RSS Feeds folder on desktop, or FeedLab App in Windows and Feedly on Android are what work easiest. They are certainly our preferred way of receiving RSS Feeds.

You can also use the RSS Feed to add the headlines to your website, channel via an easy to use and configure CSS applet. Click here for more info.
