Enjoy “GT’s” monthly “Good news in tourism” posts, which summarise a month’s worth of “GT” Insights, “GT” Travel, “GT” Partner news, and your comments.
Also find here Partner/Sponsor messages from The “Good Tourism” Blog’s Partners and friends plus coverage of travel & tourism industry events to which “GT” is invited or otherwise involved. Ad hoc sponsored news posts are also very welcome.
“GT” retired its weekly “Good news in tourism” posts in April 2021. The weekly posts featured brief summaries of and links to positive industry news from off-piste sources.

Any content “GT” republished in full was available for that purpose from the likes of The Conversation and Thomson Reuters Foundation.
