Story Ideas Based on Latest Trend Reports

I have compiled travel industry trend reports with Examples. Plus, my stint on Jerry Seinfeld's show. And pitch calls.

Over the past few days, I have spent a lot of time following up with people that I met at IMM, as well as reading trend reports issued by PR, tour operators and others. I hope that as you plan for what to highlight from your destinations, and what to pitch in 2025, you will find having all this in one place useful.

Going Places

Insights and trends from the travel industry to give you insights on what kind of stories editors are looking for right now. These have been compiled based on 2025 Travel Trend reports from IMM NYC, The Global Wellness Summit, TURNER PR, Kensington Travel, and my own conversations with editors. I have also included lots of ideas from stories I have already done to get you started!

Note: this is not meant to be a comprehensive list of trends, but mainly what I am interested in writing about.
