AusEmade aims to provide a rich list of RSS feeds relating to the tourism and travel industry in Australia and around the world.

What is an RSS feed?
A feed, also commonly referred to as RSS feed, XML feed, syndicated content, or web feed is content that is frequently updated and published by a website.

Feed is content that is often related to news and blog websites, although it can be used for other types of digital content.

RSS stands for Rich Site Summary (Netscape) or Really Simple Syndication (Userland Software)  or sometimes it is known as RDF Site Summary, and refers to the technology used in creating feeds.
 

What formats do feeds come in?
The most common formats are Atom and RSS, most being constantly updated. All web feed use a data format based on XML (Extensible Markup Language). The format is widely used by bloggers and news content sites to syndicate their thoughts and articles on a frequently or daily basis to their thousands of subscribers.

For a detailed history on the RSS format and how you can use it check out Mark Pilgrims What Is RSS?.

News aggregators or RSS Readers are used to subscribe to these RSS feeds allowing you the user to access hundreds of websites quickly and efficiently to scan headlines that might be of interest without having to load the web site in a browser. If you see something of interest you can instantly view the entire story within the reader or within your web browser.
