Suggestions?
Fill out the submission form for each site and choose "Travel & Tourism" from the Category menu for lodging, area/travel guide, restaurant, nightlife, travel agent, etc. sites.
An editor will review the site and place it appropriately. :)

I think posting urls is usefull when you do it with respect but the guidelines seems to be non-url friendly

This format is much better to them:

Greets!
The warning was to avoid forums editors get mad.
About the yahoo directory, have you paid to figure in the directory or are you talking about sponsored results PPC?
Now that you mentioned, do you know good deals instead of paying for clicks, I mean one flat fee to be in a good directory (yahoo, msn, or any other)
Can you recommend some?
I have gotten free listings for highly informational sites in Y directory for sparsely populated categories and payed for listings in competitive cats.
At any rate, regional directories have sent me a good value of traffic - if you calculate that the listing costs about 82 cents a day, then figure out what the PPC cost is for your niche / visits from the cat a day, plus the fact that you are getting a themed on target static link - well I think its a pretty good value.
How many monthly visits do you get from yahoo directory?
One of the regional listings gets something like 10 per day.
Overture has the #1 position top bid listed at .61 cents.
Plus it gives me backlinks from an authoritative themed directory.

It isn't OK to post a link like that, it'll be removed or fixed. Any URL has to be clickable - Brett even posted in the Community forum specifically on this issue.

Do you mean people clcking your link after browsing to the apropiate category right? (not using search feature)

I get over 1000 referrals from Yahoo every day, of which an approximate average of 10 per day are from the directory listing.
That's not huge numbers, but it makes it worth it to me.
Often, you'll see entire categories in these directories either filled with stuff that doesn't quite fit, except for the one or two sites the directory is feeding... or else they're filled with affiliate listings, except for those one or two sites that they're really feeding.
This may not be true if you're a narrowly defined niche site... a site, say, for an out-of-the-way destination... but if you're a general kind of travel site, or you sell something like cruises or hotels, these sites aren't going to like you because they also sell cruises and hotels.
There are some good directories out there that have good travel sections. But if there is a good specialized travel directory that's legit, I'd love to know about it.

Can you show me some?
My guessing is that it has to be another way than exchanging links with large directories link exchange software created with low PR and lots of links...
I guess 100 of these are worst than 3 good one way quality links... but still can't find where to get them.
Seems to throw up some real sites.

Many of them are real sites but not real directories.
That said, what silverbytes is offering ("contains lodging information in some countries of latinamerica") may be useful backfill for some of them, and the sites that provide plain vanilla html links might be worth pursuing.
Finding good links in the travel area is a lot of work.
"Travel Directory"
+add URL or +add site or +submit site (url)
try things like that? Also change the Keyword from "travel Directory" to things like hotel direcory flight directory, and other Travel keywords?
what about "Travel Guide directory" +add (x)
hows that!
