I am seeking inspiration on the best ways to pitch yourself to a tourism board, travel company, or PR for traveling and writing. What are some best practices, tips, or recommendations?

I see that a lot of bloggers, in their bios, write things like "My goal is to inspire people to travel." It makes me wonder: is that really what we should do? Do we really want more people to travel, given all of the climate and sustainability consequences that can arise from travel? Or should we be encouraging people to travel better rather than more? And if so, how?

We have seen a lot of new members in our chapter (Toronto) and learning should never stop no matter how long you've been in the industry! Wrapping up 2024 I would love to know what are the top 3 things you've learned this year as a travel professional? Let’s learn from each other!
