I am looking for URGENT pitches for 2024 TIME’s World’s Greatest Places lists.
If you have been following my previous work, you may have seen that I contributed to the list in 2021, 2022 & 2023. I wrote about New Orleans, Santa Fe, Portland OR, Trans-Bhutan Trail, Costa Rica, Rabat in Morocco and Musanze in Rwanda.
This year, instead of destinations, the list will include —libraries, museums, gardens, cultural sites, art centers, concert halls, public parks and reserves, new trails, beaches, architectural marvels, extraordinary historic sites, noteworthy bars and restaurants, theme parks, hotels, motels, hostels, lodges, camps, cruise ships, and trains.
They must be new(ish), breaking new ground, impressing their industry peers, and/or offering visitors an experience unlike any other.
It can be domestic or international, ultra luxe or down and dirty, easy to access or near impossible to reach.
I am currently traveling so please make my job easier, and send me concise and compelling pitches that include:
a) what (falls into one of the categories above)
b) where (I shouldn’t have to dig through to look for the exact location)
c) why is this place innovative and newsworthy (just opened, doing something truly unique, a classic that went through a huge renovation). I’m more interested in what’s New & soon to open.
No pictures required at this time. I’ll automatically delete any emails with attachments or encryptions. Links are ok.
Please double check that the place(s) you pitch haven’t already been featured already.
Pitches are due by April 26
