I forgot to say: before I replied I gave it a try and found that in Google Photos I did not find a way to select a given ratio (under the most left icon) and crop to landscape (which means remove part of the photo on top and/or bottom. When you select a given ratio it crops both the long and short border. You thus need to do it with setting "free" and estimate the ratio. You can also download as it is and use another program on the computer to crop.

- First the portrait/landscape thing: Barry explained how to rotate a photo by 90° in Google Photos, but that is only useful when the photo was wrongly orientated. I suspect that they only want landscape photos on their website, which means that you may have to crop instead of rotate.
- About "High resolution": the link Barry refers to is about uploading with setting "Original" or "High Quality", which changes the file size, but not the resolution (number of pixels) for photos up to 16MP.
After cropping you will have less pixels, but possibly still enough. It's hard to say because they do not say what is the required minimum. If needed you can add more pixels by using third party software, like the free https://www.irfanview.com (open photo > Ctrl+R)(Windows only).

@ Laura
"For landscape, are there specific dimensions that the photo needs to be cropped to?"
No. You must ask the owner/webmaster of the travel website, or maybe just have a look at it.
