Size Matters: The Inclusivity Movement in Travel to Watch
Kristen Cruz recently told me about this article she was reading about the "size-inclusive" movement on travel. Thank. God.

Imagine a virtual escapade where your conference attire is a crisp shirt paired with the comfiest sweatpants (we're keeping it professional, folks).
Imagine a virtual escapade where your conference attire is a crisp shirt paired with the comfiest sweatpants (we're keeping it professional, folks). DestiCon isn't just a conference for you; it's a passport to a digital universe where travel wisdom and wanderlust are set to have a cosmic collision. It's like hosting the Oscars, but with travel industry heavyweights dropping wisdom bombs instead of acceptance speeches.
DestiCon is a rebellious labor of love, a brainchild that connects Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs), Short-Term Rentals (STRs), and stakeholders in a virtual rendezvous. It's the culmination of sweat, strategy, and a hint of insanity aimed at addressing blind spots and triggering breakthroughs in the travel industry. Now, I'm not dissing in-person conferences – they have their charm, like the old-school vinyl of the travel world. But DestiCon? It's the Netflix Binge of travel industry conferences, where you get the unfiltered, binge-worthy content without the small talk and the awkward handshakes.
I'm eagerly anticipating sessions that will be nothing short of a treasure trove of travel secrets. From unraveling the mysteries of content creation to navigating the dynamic dance of difficult co-workers – each session promises to be a backstage pass to the ultimate travel conf. I've got my digital notebook ready for a scholarly caffeine binge (apologies to my future keyboard).
But let's talk about the networking – oh boy, the networking. It's shaping up to be like a virtual carnival of connections. I can't wait to rub digital elbows with influencers who could make a polar bear want to travel to the equator and content creators with a knack for turning a travel anecdote into a gripping saga. We'll exchange stories, share laughs, and maybe even hatch plans for world domination (travel style, naturally).
And the "Our Conference in your Conference Room" Group Ticket? I plan to turn my living room into the nerve center of innovation, and my team and I will ride the DestiCon wave together. It will be like having a ringside seat to the most innovative show in town, all from the comfort of my swivel chair. Ealy Bird tickets are also available for individuals.
DestiCon isn't just a conference; it's a vibe, a movement, a virtual odyssey that I'm sure will leave you buzzing with inspiration. So, dear innovators, mark your calendars, charge those devices, and get ready to be part of the next revolution at DestiCon – where the only thing faster than the Wi-Fi speed will be your travel IQ!
Peace, love, and bed tax,
