Basically if the intent is met and you’re not buying backlinks and doing keyword stuffing those articles are fine.
So yes you can do that and it will probably drive the traffic if your assumption about the intent is right. And you also need some volume for that keyword. And it might take a few months until you see traction

Does the source of the backlink matter? For example, I heard PH has a good domain authority score, would that make sense here?
Thank you so much for the help!

Yes. While almost every backlink counts (besides known shady or farm sites) the better the reputation of the linking site the better the backlink.

Ah! Okay, so PH is good because it’s a legit website, but it doesn’t matter that it has nothing to do with travel?

Travel pages definitely would help for the intent but for a quality backlink PH is definitely good
