Travel

1) Summary: How to Get a COVID-19 Abroad (for U.S. travelers)

Name: Mark Chesnut TravelAge West

Category: Travel

Email: query-bscy@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: TravelAge West

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 18 January

Query:

The U.S. government will soon require a COVID-19 test with
negative results for anyone arriving in the USA from other
countries. But what are the best ways for U.S. travelers to get
the test while abroad? I'm working on a feature for TravelAge
West, the leading travel trade publication in the western USA,
about how and where international U.S. travelers can get tested.
I'm looking for examples of how tourism offices, tour operators,
airports, hotels and private businesses outside the USA are
making it easier to get tested. Please include details about
cost, timing for results and how travelers can set up the tests.
I also need a couple good high-resolution PHOTOS to accompany
this. Check out my latest reports here:

Requirements:

* Must be related only to COVID-19 tests OUTSIDE the USA,
accessible to U.S. travelers while abroad.

2) Summary: Laundry protocols in hotels

Name: Jena Tesse Fox Hotel Management

Category: Travel

Email: query-bsgb@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Hotel Management

Deadline: 12:00 PM EST - 19 January

Query:

I'm looking for some insights, ideally from third-party hotel
operators, about how they've changed their laundry operations
due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Are bed linens and towels handled
differently now than they were last year? Have you limited the
number of guests who can use the public laundry facilities in
your hotel--or closed it off to guests entirely?

Requirements:

I would need examples of how a hotel (or several hotels) have
adapted their laundry operations since the pandemic started. I
would also need high-resolution pictures to go with the article.
Thank you!

3) Summary: Resort roundup - New CDC protocol

Name: Michelle Stansbury Marie Claire

Category: Travel

Email: query-bsl7@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Marie Claire

Deadline: 1:00 AM EST - 20 January

Query:

I'm doing an article for Marie Claire based on the new CDC has a
new protocol that anyone entering the US (even
citizens/residents) need to present a negative COVID-19 test
result that goes into effect Jan 26. The idea is that while
this is a great move for safety, it can be tough to find a
testing site while on vacation and disrupt your trip to make it
happen within the 3 day window. So, I'm doing a roundup of
resorts that offer on-site COVID testing so that you can stay
safe while not disrupting your vacation. For resorts that you
think this would be a fit for (preference given to resorts
previously visited or on the list of this year), need the below
info in this format:

Name of Resort, Location link to one specific Instagram photo of
the resort that will be embedded in the article 4-6 sentence
blurb about the resort and the on-site covid testing (in third
person, no "our resort")

Requirements:

international resorts/hotels/destinations

login and password information
