Query:
I am working on article for Penta, the luxury magazine section
of Barrons.com. This article will focus on the future of
non-airplane travel, specifically trains and river cruises/small
ship cruises but only in the luxury sector. No large passenger
ships or economy train travel. I'm interested in the
changes/safety protocols travel companies plan to implement to
entice travelers post-pandemic, when folks can travel again
safely. What will the future of these sectors look like, as some
travelers will forgo flying and choose to travel by train or
boat?What should travelers expect post-pandemic? Will more
people be traveling via train and boat instead of flying, opting
for longer trips? I'd also like to include a
sustainable/responsible travel aspect to this article, and how
travelers are more inclined now to consider the environment as
well as the effects on a destination and its people when
traveling.
Requirements:
I'd like to hear from luxury small cruise companies, luxury
train tours and companies, as well as responsible travel
experts. Cruises and train journeys can be anywhere in the
world. High-end only, no budget travel. No unrelated or product
pitches. Please do not email me or contact me on social media.
Respond through HARO and if I am interested in your
pitch/response, I will be in touch. No bloggers or influencers,
