In the travel and tourism industry, it is the family travel bloggers that are leading the way on Pinterest. Although destination photos are a popular item to pin on “Bucket Lists” and “Places I’ve Been” boards, travel bloggers have not yet embraced the possibilities – many citing that it only appeals to women – until now.
This weekend Gary Arndt of www.everything-everywhere.com, a highly-regarded travel blogger and one of the Pinterest early-adopters, declared his blog a “100% Pinterest safe zone” going so far as to say, “I give full authority for anyone to use my images on Pinterest.”
I applaud that stance, and call your attention to 50+ Family Travel Bloggers who are creating beautiful and inspirational travel boards on Pinterest:

Hi there!
We would love to be included in your list of “non” Pinterest if you are making additions? Thanks for taking the time to check us out http://www.travelrink.com!! What great information as we follow so many bloggers and are always seeking great family travel ideas! We appreciate you taking the time to organize this list for the industry!
Actually I am on Pinterest, but it is linked to my personal Facebook account.
I have a separate Facebook business page, but I am not sure that I can create a separate Pinterest account for that. I guess I need to put a Pinterest widget on my blog!
