It's going to be a very long and treacherous climb back up for the tourism industry. Before we even start on a "roadmap" for recovery we need a "mindmap" so here are some of my first musings. interfacetourism.es/en/2020/…

I am preparing a paper on how destinations are approaching marketing to European travellers. If you too work in #DestinationMarketing please find 3 minutes to answer this survey. If you are interested, I'm happy to share the results and my paper with you. es.surveymonkey.com/r/7TSN7R…

Great to see a full house on #WorldResponsibleTourismDay for an inspiring panel of change-makers with @FionaJeffery from @JustADrop at the center makers #tourism4good

Fascinating week in Brasilia and Rio de Janeiro helping Embratur transform itself and its promotion of this amazing country. #mmgytravels Muito Obrigado @EmbraturNews – at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

What an honor to be asked by Brazil's minister of tourism and the president of Embratur to share my humble opinion of "the future of tourism marketing". My workshops lasted a full 5 hours so by the time I was done the "future" was a bit closer! @MMGYglobal

Travel industry debate follows fads...2016 was all about security, 2017 was Sustainability and the catchy term #overtourism ...the "year of sustainable tourism" has been and gone but the problem has not and will not unless we all CHANGE. A timely, peak season reminder xitter.cf/r_travel/status/101402…

Obrigado pela visita! xitter.cf/embraturnews/status/10… – at Torrelodones, España

@Marchioritter reminds us that the 3 main triggers remain “surprise, interest and fun” and proves his point with ample doses of all 3. Toilet paper to explain technology in terms even I get! #SDWC2018

A pertinent reminder from Hany Fam of @Mastercard in a hall full of 1st world tourism experts “One third of the world has no access to basic finance and therefore no opportunity to travel” #SDWC2018 – at Oviedo, Spain

You thought it was busy at the airport today? Amadeus and IATA predict International air capacity will double by 2030! #SDWC2018 – at Oviedo, Spain

#SDWC2018 smart tourism and smart moderation by Dirk Glaesser “Mr Minister, I see you come prepared with a very long statement which I strongly discourage you from reading” This event looks promising! – at Oviedo, Spain

I know @Ryanair sometimes use less than convenient airports bit I hope they let their pilots know that Marakesh is not actually in Spain but Morocco! – at Torrelodones, España

#ForoHosteltur2018 I do love working in Spain. Where else would 400 travel leaders meet, to back slap, kiss, gossip, eat and drink...and while there here listen to some interesting content? Thanks @hosteltur I’ll be back for more 2019! – at Madrid, Spain

#ForoHosteltur2018 every year I come to this great event and hear Spanish hotel brands, some of the best in the world, complain they don’t promote themselves well Internationally. I am interested to see their marketing budgets compared to US brands. – at Madrid, Spain

#ForoHosteltur2018 and gem from @SteveHeapy when asked why @jet2tweets doesn’t operate outside UK Market “we are very lucky to live in a cold, wet Island that millions want to get away from two weeks a year. business is good” – at Madrid, Spain

Enjoying seeing lots of industry friends among the 400+ gathered for #ForoHosteltur2018 quote of the day from @steveheapy od @jet2tweets “competing on price is a race to the bottom” #MMGYTravels – at Madrid, Spain

#mmgytravels to #itbberlin2018 . I found a place to hide in the jungle of the world’s largest trade fair – at Schönefeld, Deutschland

Thought for the day: Nobody chooses a vacation destination because of a slogan just as nobody chooses a cake because of the cherry on top – at Torrelodones, España
