Name: Mark Chesnut TravelAge West

Category: Travel

Email: query-bk0a@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: TravelAge West

Deadline: 5:00 PM EST - 18 November

Query:

I'm writing a cover story about what 2021 will be like for the
cruise, hotel and airline industries, to be published in
TravelAge West, the leading travel trade publication in the
western USA. I'm looking for news and insight from cruise lines,
hoteliers and airlines about the outlook for each segment and
what trends will affect sales in 2021 (including the effect of
the pandemic and what it means for the travel industry in 2021).
Also looking to INTERVIEW a few U.S.-based industry observers--
including travel agents, industry executives and experts -- to
comment on the outlook for 2021. I'm also looking for specific
examples of NEW products, services, experiences and features
within those 3 segments that best illustrate the latest trends
(please note this is for 2021 and I'm NOT looking for package
deals that expire before then). I also need a few good high-res
photos. See my recent reporting here:
https://markchesnut.journoportfolio.com

Requirements:

* Our readership is U.S.-based travel agents so I'm only
looking for info and comments appropriate for that audience --
and ONLY related to air travel, cruises and hotels. * I'm
looking for VERY SPECIFIC insight and examples of trends that
will affect the travel industry in 2021.

Category: Travel

Email: query-bjxv@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: USA Today

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 17 November

Query:

I'm researching a story about loyalty programs in 2021. Many
travelers have been unable to go anywhere in 2020 and are
considering giving up their loyalty programs. Is that a good
idea? I'd love to hear from anyone who has or hasn't decided to
stop participating in a travel loyalty program. Why did you stay
(or not)? What do you expect from 2021, in terms of travel? From
loyalty program experts, I'd be interested in your perspective.
Who should consider quitting their program. Who should stay?
What are the benefits of leaving or staying?

Requirements:

Please read this before answering. I'd be very grateful if you
could send an initial response to my questions by email. Please
do not respond with a note that says you would like to be
considered for this story or want to set up a phone interview
with a source. I'm happy to consider you for this story. I've
included all of my questions in this query. Please take a minute
to briefly answer them. Kindly do not cut-and-paste answers from
previously published materials, such as press releases or blog
posts. If a phone interview is necessary, I will follow up right
away. Be sure to include your full name and a jargon-free, brief
(two to three word) description of your company or affiliation
as you would like it to appear in the article. I will do my
absolute best to acknowledge that I received your pitch and will

I'm researching a story about vehicle subscription program run
by car rental companies. Hertz just expanded its program and
other rental companies like Enterprise also have a subscription
option. I'd love to hear from anyone who has subscribed to a
car. What did you think of the program? Would you recommend it
to a friend? From car rental experts, I'm interested in your
thoughts on vehicle subscriptions. How are rental car programs
evolving? How do they differ from programs run by auto
manufacturers? Who should consider subscribing to a car?
