Deadline: 9:00 PM GMT - 28 June
Query:
I'm looking for experts who can comment on the use of blockchain
in tourism. Over the past 3 years, a large number of initiatives
and projects have appeared on the market that promised to
improve the field of tourism and travel using blockchain
technology, but since then little has changed.
However, there are initiatives that have been taken at the state
level. For example, an additional distribution channel for
hotels was launched by Dubai to implement the Dubai 10x
initiative. The authors of the project proposed to use
Blockchain to connect all the travel organizations involved in
planning the trip, which will make it possible to provide guests
with greater choice and transparency, as well as to reduce
prices in the Dubai tourism inventory. Big travel giants like
Airbnb, Booking, and TUI are also exploring blockchain and
planning to use it.
I will be glad if you could share any information on this.
1) At what stage is the use of decentralized technology in large
tourism/air companies and hotels and what significant results
have been achieved?
2) What are the most important sectors of tourism that need a
blockchain, and which ones do just fine without it?
3) Any other thoughts on the matter are welcome.
Requirements:
The comments should come from experts in the tourism/travel
industry.

My editor sent me something about a topic he said is "all over
social," which is this thing on TikTok--perhaps
elsewhere--encouraging consumers to load up their carts with
merchandise from Trump's online store and then abandon it
because it impacts inventory levels and costs the Trump campaign
money. Politics aside, I'm trying to figure out if this is
true--does abandoning a cart hurt a brand? If so, how so?

Query:
Hello,
We're working on a story about how being transparent about where
you got the money to buy a house can be a good thing.
With homeownership out of reach for so many, it almost comes as
a surprise when someone you know *does* manage to cough up
enough cash for a down payment. It prompts questions, sure, but
a lot of the time those questions go unanswered. The old line of
thinking nobody's business where someone gets their money,
right? Perhaps being transparent about how you forged a path to
homeownership can lower the barrier for entry for others.
I'm looking for experts to answer one or more of the following
- What are the advantages about being open about where you
bought a home? - Any tips for broaching these conversations? -
What can be achieved by talking openly about money/source of a
down payment? - I'd like to also hear about how having these
conversations could help acknowledge generational wealth gaps.
- What resources are available for homebuyers who don't have
gift money?

Query:
The DOL has just issued ESG guidance that emphasizes fiduciary
duty when it comes to selecting retirement plan investments.
While it doesn't discount ESG factors, it does say they cannot
be placed ahead of the financial best interests of plan
beneficiaries. Please email your answers to the following
questions. Be sure to repeat each question and its number before
writing your answer. PR folks, just provide your clients'
answers because we cannot respond to solicitations.
1) Why do you think the DOL framed its ESG guidelines the way it
did?
2) Explain why it's important to uphold one's fiduciary duty and
always place a plan participant's financial best interest ahead
of non-financial issues.
3) What specifically might 401k plan sponsors do concerning ESG
related matters that could inadvertently expose them to
increased fiduciary liability.
4) Under what circumstances might ESG issues be aligned with a
financial performance of a stock?
5) Under what economic circumstances might your answer to
question 3 become unsustainable?
6) What might prevent younger people who are willing to pay more
for products that align with their beliefs from buying those
products?
7) How might a securities analyst quantify the "cancel culture"
risk to any investment?
8) State your name, title, firm, and city/state location.
