Hi everyone - I'm Josh, the Director of Traveltech for Scotland We're doing a project looking at the role of technology in alleviating staff shortage pressures in tourism and hospitality. (see more here: https://www.traveltech.scot/projects-database/labour-tech) Our research to date has identified the following tasks in need of support/augmentation or automation. Are you working on/do you know of any digital solutions or technologies can that help with these tasks? 👉 If yes, post in the discussion thread! Tasks we think could benefit from sort of augmentation or automation: Housekeeping: • physical tasks: making beds, carrying cleaning supplies up/downstairs, cleaning bathrooms, emptying bins • time-consuming tasks: linen count/ stocking linen cupboards; updating the front of house on cleaning progress across a hotel; stock control Kitchen: • sourcing/ordering ingredients and supplies • preparing ingredients (eg, washing, chopping) • cooking food • cleaning up after cooki...

Hi, I'm Carolyn, the CEO/Editor-in-Chief of JourneyWoman, a women's solo travel publication. Every year we publish a feature for International Women's Day celebrating women and this year we are looking tor photographs and stories of women who make travel possible, past and present. This could be guides, tour directors, healthcare workers, drivers, small business owners, etc. This is an opportunity to show our appreciation and recognize everyone who contributes to making travel possible. More information is on our site including a form to upload your photos and stories. We'll be publishing finalists on March 8, International Women's Day. Thank you! https://journeywoman.com/feature-articles/iwd-2022-the-women-who-guide-us-on-our-travels/

Asking myself since last week what I can do, what we all can do more... so here I'd like to start a discussion thread of ways the tourism industry can help Ukraine 💛 💙- and everyone in travel who is affected. Hands-on and real. After all, travel is about people, cultures, peace and freedom. And tech is again a great accelerator for the 🌍 to work together. Personally, I am offering a free guest room in my home to a tourism or any other Ukraine student in need. Maybe there are more of us with a similar wish. So far I have found these platforms / initiatives to join & support, and in travel, I'm sure there is more! Please add in the thread if you know of any or have further ideas: • https://wehelpukraine.org/ • https://www.bg4ua.com/ • https://elinor.network/gastfreundschaft-ukraine/ • https://refugees.ro/ • https://www.supportukraine-eberswalde.de/ • https://www.facebook.com/groups/1012497419668646/ • https://airbnb.org/get-involved "Peace works better than conflict, and on...

Hello, let me introduce myself, the names Emmanuel (Eman for short). I joined this space to discuss how to become a travel writer as a complete beginner with little writing experience? I just want to dip my feet in the water so to say but I don't know where to start, I am passionate about traveling, I've lived in Ohio for most of my life and recently moved to Massachusetts, it was my first time living away from home and it changed my life, right now I just want to do more of that and be able to make a living traveling full time, is this possible or just a dream? Looking forward to your tips. Let me know!
