Hi, travel community,
[TLDR: I am thinking about closing down my travel blog after eight years. Does anyone have any advice on closing vs selling vs transforming?]
I have been a relatively active blogger for almost eight years. I started The Altruistic Traveller (thealtruistictraveller.com) back in 2015 from a deep curiosity about the intersection of travel and sustainability.

If you are running a travel or tourism related survey, or would like to contribute to other people's research, then this thread is for you.
👉 Share your survey as a comment (above) in exactly this format:
1. The title of your survey
2. One paragraph introducing yourself and your survey
3. A link to your survey
Be sure to have a completed profile, too.
We will remove any low-quality or off-topic links.

The title of the survey: The motivation of digital nomads to contribute to the communities they visit
Hi, I'm Rudi, a tourism consultant, Fairbnb.coop member and Web3 content creator. I'm writing my master's thesis in which I want to explore the motivation of digital nomads to contribute to the communities they visit. With your thoughtful contribution to this survey, you're helping us gain important insights and learnings about how we can be more inclusive and sensitive to the destinations we visit. If you consider yourself a digital nomad or remote worker, please take 10 mins to fill out the survey.

1. Generative AI's impact on the travel industry
2. I launched this short 1-minute survey with the objective of better understanding what travel industry professionals think about what the impact of generative AI will have on the sector. If you have 1 minute, I'd very much appreciate your input. I will share the results in a week or two.
