Even though these hospitality concepts are age-old, they are bang in the middle of all the major deeper travel trends and fulfill all the modern traveler’s expectations.
This is the seventh in a series of video diaries I am doing while spending time in Morocco for a family commitment. I am experimenting with this video diary format to share my thoughts on the travel industry through the lens of my stay here.
Here’s the first one, which was on preserving authenticity in a digital age; the second one, on the renewed importance of visiting-friends-and-relatives travel in a globally mobile world; the third one on the rise of the individual vs. brands and what it means for travel leadership; the fourth one, on the joys of traveling with family in collectivist societies; the fifth one, on the missed opportunity for morning and night tourism; and the sixth one, on how tourism flattens food cultures.
The seventh one is below. If you aren’t able to view the video properly here, check it out directly on my LinkedIn post.
