Query:
Feature is about groups of families traveling together during
the pandemic -- we've always traveled with friends, of course,
but those trips look and feel a lot different now. I'm almost
done with the reporting and am seeking another source or two to
round out the perspectives.
Requirements:
Specifically looking for one of the following:
--Traveler who encountered some sort of struggle or tension
while planning or taking a trip with other families recently
(say, a family backing out or a pandemic-related travel
restriction making the trip impossible)
--Airbnb/rental house owner encountering some group of this ilk
that backs out last minute
--Travel advisor playing mediator to a group like these and
witnessing the issues that arise

Hi there! I am working on an article about the increasing number
of Gen Zers and Millennials turning to RV living for myriad
reasons. With that said, I am looking to speak to RV industry
experts and people who have abandoned the traditional stationary
lifestyle to live in an RV about why RV life has become so
appealing to younger folks when it has traditionally been seen
as something for retirees. Thank you in advance!

Query:
I am proposing an article to the New York Times titled
(something like) "As the Weather Gets Cold and the Pandemic
Drags On, Creativity is Key to Our Survival - Tips for Curing
the 'Corona Travel Blues.'" With Covid-19 getting deadlier,
millions of people out of work and being sheltered-in place once
again as the weather gets cold -- it's all very depressing. We
need things to look forward to and offset the monotony of
pandemic life.
So how do we do it?
I am looking for tips for combating the Cornona Travel Blues.
I will interview people for their tips about things to do that
made them feel better about not traveling.
I will also interview travel experts, hospitality
representatives, and psychologists for their thoughts and tips.
For example, connecting with people from other countries via
zoom. Or taking online travel courses, etc. The sky is the
limit.
I'm looking for data and statistics about travel during the
pandemic - by car, by train, by airplane, cruises, etc.

Deadline: 7:00 PM PST - 5 October
Query:
I'm writing a story about how to make everyone traveling with a
group of friends or family members feel safe when everyone has
different anxiety and comfort levels surrounding the pandemic.
While some travelers are extremely cautious and follow CDC
guidelines strictly, others merely follow them loosely. So what
are some of the ways travelers in the same group can talk openly
to each other about expectations and their fears surrounding the
virus to avoid buildup of tension due to clashing expectations?
I'm looking to speak with qualified relationship experts and
family therapists who are travelers themselves, or have a big
interest in travel.
What I'd like to know:
1) What are some ground rules you think travelers in the same
group should follow while they're on the trip to make everyone
feel safe despite their individual comfort levels surrounding
the pandemic?
2) What are some tactics to create a safe and judgement free
zone in which travelers can openly discuss their concerns during
the planning stage of a trip? Please consider people of all ages
from kids to grandparents, and people who tend to dominate
conversations, as well as the more reserved individuals.
Requirements:
Qualified relationship experts and family therapists: Please
send an initial response to my questions by email. I'd like to
follow up on relevant pitches with an email or Zoom or phone
call where necessary. Be sure to include your full name and a
brief description of your company or affiliation as you would
like it to appear in the article.

Deadline: 12:00 PM PST - 7 October
Query:
I'm writing a story about what travelers can expect from ski
mountains this upcoming season regarding COVID protocols during
this ongoing pandemic, and how staff plan to keep guests safe
throughout their experience. I'm looking to connect with staff,
managers, and owners of ski resorts throughout North America to
learn what your unique approaches are to opening and keeping the
public and your staff safe. Sample questions include:
1) How are you enforcing social distancing on the ski lifts and
gondolas? For example, are you enforcing reservations only
skiing?
2) How are you cleaning rental equipment?
3) Is there any equipment you're no longer renting out to guests
due to the coronavirus (ie.scarves, gloves etc.)?
4) Will there be daily lift ticket sales?
5) Can guests expect an increase or decrease in price for ski
lift passes this year due to the pandemic?
Requirements:
Staff, managers, and owners from ski resorts from all over
Canada and the United States: Please send an initial response to
my questions by email. I'd like to follow up on relevant pitches
with an email or Zoom or phone call where necessary. Be sure to
include your full name and a brief description of your company
or affiliation as you would like it to appear in the article.
I'd also like to request high resolution images of your resort.
