Feature story based on an interview with the manager of Tourism Hub in Valencia, connecting promotion strategy (platforms, audience, and product) with current debates on overtourism and visitor behavior.
Feature story with a clear angle on slow tourism and territorial distribution, based on an interview with the president of the Castile and León tour guides federation, with a focus on narrative, challenges, and interpretive experience.
Narrative walk through Stratford-upon-Avon reframed through Hamnet and Agnes, moving from Anne Hathaway’s Cottage to the Birthplace, New Place, and Holy Trinity Church, using sensory detail and an emotional itinerary to translate oral storytelling into written form.
Reflective chronicle set in a Brussels reception centre, built around a sharp ethical contrast between migration necessity and tourism marketing. Strong sensory setting, nuanced refusal to villainise tourists, and a clear decision to “make the dilemma visible” rather than moralise. Minor edits to publish: specify concrete ethical safeguards (consent/anonymity), reassess potentially stigmatising detail about a minor, add one line of contextual grounding, and trim repeated framing in the ending.
Article that analyzes the positioning of Ticino (“Mediterranean heart of Switzerland”) from concepts in the masterclass (marketing, sustainability, overtourism, purpose-driven travel, innovation/AI, legacy, and community inclusion). To publish with greater impact: add verifiable data, at least one additional non-institutional source, and a concrete example for each axis (sustainability/low season/innovation).
A beautifully written, reflective blog post that draws a powerful connection between a travel photography experience in Rome and the student’s approach to documenting Frederiksberg for their Final Master’s Project. Explores the shift from spectacle to presence in travel writing.
