I just finished the original subtitles for this talk, so I hope this will open up for many translations, to spread this inspiring talk to non-English speakers as well.

Good point.But why compare Beijing with Manhattan? And not with New York?

Thank you Doug Lansky! Yes to all of this - why I often fail to enjoy travel explained brilliantly. Excellent tip to Google local newspapers and use Google Translate to understand. Will definitely use that for our upcoming Malaga / Spain trip. Speaking as a local more than a traveller, I would like to add: less is more. I would prefer to travel less, but of higher quality/intensity. This could mean spending more money, but does not need to mean that. It could also mean, spending more time in defining and finding out exactly what a high quality trip to each traveller in his/her own way. That could be a consulting service, enjoying bits of the trip before actually going in joint preparation. Preparation of fun things makes (just as) happy as the fun things themselves. A side effect/outcoming of such prep convos, could be to find elements of the ideal trip nearby, or craft your home (town) to provide them. Improving day to day living that way.

Good points Doug. DMAI's Destination Next Initiative is helping DMOS understand about challenges in the future and how we should look at creating stronger bonds with community, economic development , government officials and overall destination infrastructure decision makers. We need to leverage our tourism expertise to help impact how cities are being developed, renovated and enhanced. The quality of the travel experience will serve to improve the quality of life for all the citizens in each destination. DMO executives are working hard to be at the table with every decision maker in their communities to affect change. Thanks for the thought provoking ideas Doug

Interesting. I think another issue that needs to be addressed is how wealthy countries and poor countries address issues that tourist care about. Less of a DMO issue and more of a government wide issue. I also think the tourist themselves can do a bit more research. With the explosion of blogs and Tripadvisor, tourism information is more up to the minute than ever. Off peak travel is definitely a force that many travelers should embrace. Flexibility is the key on both sides.

Hello, I would like to clean some rivers. And teach people how not to pollute. How do i do that?
@camilorios78214 жыл бұрын
Start clean some rivers by yourself. Take a few pictures/videos and promote it via social media. Eventually you'll get volunteers and you can start teaching them how not to pollute. Its all about how effective you can be when promoting it, so you'll be giving a good practice to Marketing ;)

Why does one compare Manhattan to Beijin, not New York and Beijin ? Is it just me who's thinking thats, irrelavant ?

KFC, IKEA, McDonald are out of context since those companies are targeting the locals, not tourists. KFC obviously change its recipe and adjusting its menu to the local market. And Beijing tourism authority never advertises them, because KFC and Walmart are not Beijing’s tourism product. IKEA? would you go to beijing to get furniture when you are a tourist? for authentic local experience, would tourist use squat toilets in China? or stay at local chinese hotel with cigarette smell in the room?
