[Circle Insider] Insights On Travel Editors & Tourism Boards

Like most industries, networking in the travel sector is essential to long-term success, and one of the best ways to network is through conferences. The IMM Conference is an annual event that provides a platform for the media and travel spheres to connect and network, from exhibitors and journalists to influencers and content creators. The event aims to make media connections, nurture established relationships, and socialize with friends from the industry. This episode comes from The Circle, where we spent time unpacking key takeaways from this year's IMM Conference, providing an overview of the event, and discussing the current state of the travel media industry. Hear about lessons learned from the editor panel, what editors are looking for regarding content, sustainability in travel as a growing trend, and the topics writers should be focused on. We also discuss the rates that writers are getting paid, whether press trips are still supported, how to approach storytelling regarding indigenous communities, being authentic with your writing, and much more!
