The podcast I’ve been building over the past few months is now live.
It’s called Two Homes.
The idea is simple: We’re always working across two systems at once, our inner world, and the systems we’re trying to shape around us.
In sustainability, we tend to focus on the external: policies, certifications, frameworks, reporting.
But what I see time and again in practice is this: If it’s not embedded, in how people think, decide, and show up day to day, it doesn’t last.
The first episode explores that relationship. How personal regulation, awareness and leadership shape whether sustainability becomes: something written down or something that actually lives inside an organisation.
Because the gap isn’t usually knowledge. It’s integration.
If you’re working in sustainability, tourism, or leading teams through change, this will feel familiar.
This is the kind of work I care deeply about. Both in conversation and in practice.
Episodes 1-3 are already up on Amazon, Apple and Spotify and you'll find all the episodes at redcircle.com/shows/8676aa7c-60c7-4fd0-9e4d-82eaaccdf90c
If you're interested in these topics, I would appreciate your audience (and feedback) and any shares with a colleague or friend who might benefit from the podcast — thanks!
A question I’ve been thinking about lately.
As a small, on-ground operator with strong background in curating locally rooted experiences, I often wonder how international travel curators make this choice. From the outside, it seems many prefer starting with established DMCs or the big names.
Is it because of structure and reliability?
Or simply better pricing and ease of scale?
Smaller operators often bring deeper local insight, flexibility, and more rooted experiences; but what actually drives someone to take that first step and work with them?
What builds enough confidence to experiment and give a smaller, locally rooted partner a chance over a larger name following a more standard approach?
Do you see value in this, or is it something you approach cautiously?
Would love to hear your thoughts.

🎉 Songkran Travel Insights: Cultural Differences in Travel Behavior Revealed
We analyzed over 100,000 trips during Thailand’s Songkran festival across 106 nationalities, and the patterns are surprisingly consistent — but very different depending on where travelers come from 🇹🇭💚
It almost feels like two different Songkrans in one country.
🏝️🌊 International travelers tend to focus on island destinations, while Thai travelers move across the country using inland routes and domestic transport networks.
🚍 Booking behavior also varies significantly by nationality. According to 12Go data, UK travelers on Chiang Mai–Pai routes often book just a few days in advance, while German travelers on Koh Chang–Koh Kood ferries tend to book weeks ahead.
Israeli travelers show a strong preference for Koh Samui–Koh Phangan routes. Thai travelers primarily rely on buses across hundreds of routes and rarely use ferries.
💧Songkran is Thailand’s traditional New Year in mid-April and remains one of the country’s most important travel periods.

Fascinating and interesting data!! Thanks for sharing and happy Songkran !!
Thanks, Ric! Happy Songkran to you too!
Great insights! Thanks for sharing, Tetiana.
Great insights! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing, I was in Thailand over Songkran, so this is really interesting
Thanks, Mary! Hope you had a wonderful celebration 🎉
We have had a very large swing towards people booking directly instead of coming through the OTA's this year.
We use Bokun as a booking provider and have been looking at WeTravel & Ventrata all of which have some good and some bad points to them.
The thing im trying to streamline is the guide management part, ideally if we could do that within the booking system then great, but they all have there limitations.
Just wanted to ask the community what you do? What systems you use and if you have any ideas i could look at.
Thanks in advance
James
Are you doing day tours or multi-day tours?
Hi jen, thanks for commenting, we do both day and multiday tours, they are always full days, and always private tours :-)
No, jot all events down on my calendar.
Hi Annalie, My booking system does that for me already, but its hard to seperate when you have 4/5 tours in a day, im testing colour coding at the moment, also a diary entry with the specific guide invited, all still in test mode :-)
Im semi retired. Its more than enough for me.
We launched AskMe.Travel - a free, AI-powered, multi-media travel exploration assistant that helps you discover places, locations, resorts, and activities.
Completely free with no signup required.
This tool is especially good at making specific recommendations. Some examples,
• Best Family Friendly All-Inclusive Resorts
• Restaurants with gluten-free options in the area.
• Hotels with a pet-friendly policy.
• Activities for individuals in a wheelchair
We would love feedback and suggestions on how to improve the user experience. We are specifically interested to hear if you believe this is a useful assistant for your everyday use.
Hi Eric, thanks for sharing your project with the Travel Massive community!
What is the origin story behind building AskMe.Travel?
A few bits of feedback:
1. I like the "clickability" of the sidebar links, which makes it easy to explore without at first having to come up with the prompt.
2. After some interactions and questions with the prompt, I didn't really know what else to do. An "About" page explaining the product a bit more (e.g. what problems people can solve with it) would be helpful.
In general, this is where I get a bit lost with AI travel planning tools — while they can give me answers to endless travel questions, there seems to be a lack of utility of "getting something done" such as booking a flight, hotel, etc. There needs to be something very compelling about AI planning tools to make me come back again, instead of asking Claude or Gemini myself.
Hope that helps!
After 25+ years in Japan, my best travel memories aren’t from anywhere along the beaten path.
Listening to the owner of a soba restaurant in rural Tokushima sing as you dine. Planting coral seeds in the Okinawan sea with guides who became friends. Wearing a genderless wedding kimono in a small Buddhist temple inn in Yamanashi. Discovering how the distant memory of a tempura dish shaped a long-running confectionery in central Tokyo.
These are the kinds of stories you’ll find in “70 Remarkable Japanese Places,” the first print publication from the Japan Travel Awards, a travel award that showcases unique destinations and the people shaping more sustainable and inclusive communities across Japan.
The book is the result of three years of travel, bringing together 70 destinations across the country, each presented in its own color and design (because no two places are ever the same), across 200 pages and in two languages—English and Japanese. It also features three themed sections and a dedicated page to customize it, capture your memories, and share it with someone special.
Beyond a conventional guidebook, this hardcover is a collection of places with stories worth knowing.
📚 Check out japantravelawards.com/rjp for more details, grab a copy, and share it with a friend — I hope you’ll enjoy it!
Hi Ally, I just ordered your book. I'm looking for books written in Japanese to provide vocabulary lists for in English. Since your book is bilingual, it might be a good candidate.
Hi Bart, greetings from cherry blossom-blooming Japan! Thank you SO much for ordering our book! It will be with you very soon and I hope you'll enjoy reading it! 🥹
My mother loved Japan and it's one of the places I've recently become interested in traveling too. This book looks amazing! I'll definitely go check it out.
Thank you so much, Melanie! I hope you will come to Japan - it's really a great country to visit, and the places we write about in the book are all worth a visit beyond the golden routes. Most of them are small businesses that are rarely featured in most travel guidebooks, but offer great experiences for all kinds of travelers! Hope the book will inspire you to visit! 😊
The samples on the website look beautiful, and I would love to have a proper look. I know it's best as a physical book, but do you plan to have it available in a digital version soon, too? We are location-independent, so all our books are eBooks.
Thank you for having a look, Sandra! 😊 We envisioned the book as a gift to someone special (who misses Japan or is looking for travel inspirations), so we haven't explored the idea of a digital book (yet) but I can see the demand. Thank you for reminding me of that - we'll explore our options further!
Hey everyone,
It's been almost six months since my last post here, and during that time I actually managed to connect with some of you on LinkedIn and even grab coffee with a few people! Community has always been the most important thing for me, so that really meant a lot!
Anyway, I wanted to share what our team (all three of us, haha) has been working on for the past couple of months.
We kept running into a problem that really bothered us personally, cause hate spending hours researching and choosing between options, but the results from ChatGPT and Gemini never really worked for me either because they're too generic, and the chat format just doesn't cut it. I'd forget what I even asked for two messages ago and completely lose focus.
It was also really important to me that the app looked simple and clean but still felt intuitive and not overwhelming. I wanted it to feel friendly! (like Duo for example)
On top of that, I'm obsessed with weekend trips, and I really don't want to spend my Friday evening planning one. So the whole idea was basically to build a "weekend trip planner" that does everything for you in seconds. (P.S. we can generate longer trips too, but our main focus is short ones!)

Hey Ana,
Just downloaded and tested it,
- UI is simple and the UX playful and nice - congrats
Two things to rethink from my perspective:
- The Paywall came to early for me, wasn't convinced yet to pay for it (maybe the map feature should be free as well - but modifying suggestions is behind the paywall)
- Very little possibility to gain my trust - I want to verify recommendation to somehow find out if I can trust the itinerary
Good luck and lots of success :)
Hey! Quick follow-up on the trust point, super curious about this one!
We actually show Google Maps links, and real photos for each spot (at leats we are trying to) Did you get a chance to see those, or did the paywall come before that?
Trying to understand if it's about the data itself or more about trusting why the AI picked these specific places :)
I meant more trusting the AI to pick the right one fitting my preferences - I did see the pictures, I couldn't see the map and probably oversaw a Google Maps link
Hi everyone, I'm a software engineer based in Berlin, and founder of DestList, where I’m building a more personalized travel planning system that combines AI with human curation.
My vision is to build the world’s most personalized travel planning system, one where planning starts with intention rather than logistics.
What makes DestList different is its hybrid approach: we combine the speed and intelligence of AI with the judgment, taste, and care of human curation, so every trip feels personal, well-structured, and ready to book.
What is broken with travel planning in 2026?
Travel planning in 2026 is increasingly turning into a second job, shaped by decision fatigue, generic AI outputs, and growing logistical complexity across borders.
The deeper problem is not a lack of information. It is the opposite. Travellers are navigating too much uncurated input across search, maps, social media, reviews, booking sites, and AI tools, all of which create more options without necessarily creating better decisions. The result is analysis paralysis, fragmented planning, and a travel experience that often starts with stress rather than anticipation.
At DestList, we did not want to build another AI travel agent that simply generates lists. We wanted to explore a different approach, one that responds to the fragmentation of modern travel planning and the impersonality of automated recommendations.
The direction we are exploring is this:
1. Aesthetic & Vibe Mapping (The "Feel" Factor)
Traditional travel search works reasonably well when someone types hotels in Paris, but it struggles when what they are really looking for is a certain atmosphere, pace, or feeling. Travel decisions are often emotional before they are logistical. A more useful planning system should be able to interpret style, mood, and intention, not just keywords and price filters.
2. Human-in-the-Loop Curation
AI can accelerate research, synthesis, and structure. But it still struggles with context, taste, and trust. That is why we believe the strongest model is hybrid. AI can do the heavy lifting across data, but human review remains critical in shaping recommendations that feel relevant, grounded, and realistic.
3. Reducing tab-hopping and fragmented workflows
One of the most exhausting parts of planning is that inspiration, logistics, budgeting, and booking all live in separate places. Travellers jump between social platforms, maps, blogs, reviews, and booking tools, trying to stitch together one coherent plan. That fragmentation is a major part of the problem.
4. Moving from static itineraries to adaptive planning
Traditional itineraries break the moment a flight is delayed or it rains. A better planning system should be adaptive rather than static. If your 2:00 PM walking tour is rained out, the platform automatically suggests an indoor alternative like a gallery or a boutique that matches your specific Style Profile, re-syncing your entire schedule.
5. Better alignment between recommendations and traveler intent
Too often, travel recommendations are shaped by platform incentives rather than actual fit. A more personalized planning experience should prioritize relevance to the traveler, their style, pace, budget, and intent, rather than just popularity or commercial visibility.
Ultimately, the problem with travel planning today is not simply that it is time-consuming. It is that the tools available still do a poor job of translating human intention into a trip that feels coherent, personal, and easy to act on.
That is the gap we believe is worth solving.

Thumbs up
Thanks! If you get a chance to try it out, would love to hear what you think.
I have checked it out and the deals there are a combo of what anyone that wants a stressless travel plan will go for.
Really appreciate. That’s exactly what we’re aiming for.
Travel planning should feel smooth and stressless, not like a second job. Glad it came across that way!
Really impressive! Will definitely use it on my next trip! Well done!!!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that. I would love to hear what kind of trip you use it for when you try it.
Sure I will 👍
Amazing! Makes planning my trips easier
Thank you so much, that means a lot. Making trip planning easier and less overwhelming is exactly the goal with DestList, so I am really glad that resonated with you.
Great job!
Using this for my next trip.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that. I hope it makes your next trip planning process much smoother, and I would love to hear how it works for you when you use it.
Hello everyone, we're looking for your advice today.
How do you choose your travel agency? What makes the difference? What do you look for? Is there a detail which makes you say "that's the one for me!" ?
Perhaps :
- a cool website
- Security, reassuring...
- Good communication from the agency
- A nice "about us" section so you know who you're dealing with...
- Good reviews on Tripadvisor or trustpilot
- the price
- engaging photos...
Looking forward to hearing your answers!
Hi Lucas,
This is a very interesting question and I’m sure you’ll receive a lot of subjective answers.
For me, it’s rarely just about the website, price or even reviews.
It comes down to four things:
1) Alignment: How closely the agency’s approach matches the way I see travel. Whether they value immersive experiences over touristy checklists, and whether their journeys feel thoughtfully designed rather than mass-produced.
2) Mutual understanding: When both sides are aligned in terms of expectations and intent, the entire experience tends to flow much better.
3) Transparency: Clear communication, honest recommendations (even if that means advising against something), and a sense that the agency is not just trying to “sell” but genuinely curate — that builds trust over time. This is the most important for me.
4) Promptness: Timely responses and clear follow-ups reflect how organised and attentive the agency is, even before the journey begins.
In the end, it comes down to a simple feeling:
Do I trust this person to guide me through a place in a meaningful way, or am I just being sold another standard itinerary?
That sense of trust is what ultimately makes the decision for me.
Hi Lucas,
Great question. For me, the biggest differentiators are trust, clarity, and whether the agency actually makes planning feel easier rather than adding more noise.
What usually stands out is:
clear communication
transparent pricing and process
a strong sense of who is behind the brand
reviews or proof that real travelers had a good experience
and most importantly, whether the trip feels personalized rather than generic
That is also a big part of what we are building at DestList. We focus on structured, ready-to-book travel planning that is tailored to travel style, preferences and budget, with human-reviewed curation rather than just endless options. So instead of travelers spending hours comparing flights, hotels, and activities, they receive a more complete and thoughtful plan in one place.
If that sounds interesting, feel free to check out DestList.
Often, we choose a travel agency by its alignment with my clientele but insider privilege, and an uncompromising ability to craft rare, deeply personal, unforgettable journeys
HI Lucas,
actually this is the billion dollars questions, If i may shared my opinion here, Been in hospitality more than 10 years - I'd say travel theme and time based on new things / trends / economy/ world circumstances. Most traveller behavior of spend had change every single minute because people mind can change based on so many facts.
No.1) - How much is my budget loos like? what kind of travel style i need and who will be travel with me does the travel needs additional cost such as visa and vice versa .
No.2) - I never look at the company profile or website so much because social media can do anything to makes it looks WOW factor, But i will looking at what kind of the travel agency / company post on their website such as education content / tips / updated / news etc.. why? because most travel agency they focus to impress the traveller to get the money from the pocket but not really focus on what kind of valued and expereince you will get. and contents is the key to show that how in dept knowledged and expert of the travel agency are.
No.3) how the website communicate with you for example chatbot with AI - you can tell that teh information they give you are automate but not feelings of experience and sometimes keep repeating the same answer :D
No.4) some agency provide a travel form for you to adding everything you want to experience but some website are just a whoelsale package like amazon :D you put what you want in the basket and pay . So a good travel agency should provide you a good form for you to fill your wish it's show they provide you a knowledged and attention not just only want to sell.
No.5) Another important factor I consider is how the company structures its payment and booking process.This gives a strong indication of how organized and professional the company is, including their internal systems, financial transparency, and overall reliability.
I also pay close attention to their policies in case of unexpected situations, such as trip cancellations, emergencies, or if a client is unable to travel. A reliable travel agency should have clear procedures, flexible solutions, and take full responsibility in supporting clients through these situations.
Just my opion :)
Nesha
Thank you so much for your time and valuable opinions ! It's really interesting to see what travelers needs are and how we can meet them in the best ways. We're actually also in the process of adding a "travel with impact" concept, where we'd like to add a half/ or full day which our tourists can share with a local association an actually meet the people, have an authentic exchange and add meaning to their journey (take and give experience) especially for two of our destinations Afghanistan and Madagascar, but that's a whole new subject...I'm already getting carried away ;)
No worries at all. I really hope you pick up some cool stuffs! :) However, i rather prefer to share the raw and reality facts rather than pinky world. those 2 destinations pretty interesting - Well, once you know your business strenght and your business proposition. you should be able to leading the destination! keep it up Lucas.
Thanks !
