Best day to read this deep dive story, from Dawit D. Habtemariam skift.com/2024/03/12/her…

It's only a true NYC publication if it takes shots at New Jersey THE CITY

From Once Upon a Time in America. Great movie on friendship and nostalgia.

Couldn't agree more with this Skift story by Dawit D. Habtemariam on China travel. In fact, I think 100M outbound travelers may be conservative, albeit the profile will be different. skift.com/2024/03/21/chi…

Travel x TikTok:

- 60% of Europeans say they’re likely to book a holiday based on recommendations they’ve seen on TikTok

- Small niche communities are driving mass cultures now

- TikTok may allow users to book on its platform in the future

Note from Dawit D. Habtemariam at ITB Berlin…

U.S. politicians: TikTok is a threat to national security.

Translation: We don't like how TikTok can't spy for the U.S. or do stuff we want.

Fabulous deep dive from Dawit D. Habtemariam on the biggest tourism phenomena of the year not named Taylor Swift: the Solar eclipse. Are the destinations ready? Millions of Americans could become umbraphiles overnight, as in eclipse chasers. skift.com/2024/03/12/her…

The biggest gift I'll ever receive on my birthday this year: a once in a lifetime eclipse
