"At the eighth annual Points of View Summit, everyone is just happy to be there. Which is not to say that that's not usually the case for this assemblage of travel specialists and editors. But flight delays from the government shutdown left many of these usually unfettered frequent fliers uncertain as to whether or not they'd make it to New York. The fact that turnout is high means morale is the same, and the day is off to a solid start."
"After welcome remarks from senior features editor Rebecca Misner and Global Editorial Director Divia Thani, we were off to the races with a day of panels concerning everything from foodways in the South Carolina lowcountry to the changing face of tech in travel (hello, AI!) and the value of finding those "in-between" spaces. Read on for a recap of the days' events."
Attendance remained high despite flight delays caused by the government shutdown, and the summit opened on a positive note. Welcome remarks opened a day of panels on topics ranging from South Carolina lowcountry foodways to the changing face of travel technology, including AI, and the value of "in-between" spaces. A morning panel on authenticity emphasized that intentional connection to local people and symbiotic relationships between travelers and communities are essential to authentic experiences. Examples included transformations in Australia's tourism industry related to Indigenous peoples and the rise of regenerative travel practices.
