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. Before December 2019, “GT” would summarise under-reported news stories or thought-provoking feature articles by non-industry media. The sources were well-attributed and linked. Any content “GT” republished in full was available for that purpose from the likes of The Conversation and Thomson Reuters Foundation.
Welcome to the September-October 2025 wrap of “Good Tourism” & “GT” Travel news, insights, and experiences shared by friends and Partners of ‘The “Good Tourism” Blog’ and “GT” Travel Blog’.
