"Traveling between classic and future, the cigar's time-space travel case" – comparing the cigar box to a time-space travel case implies that it carries the complete story of the cigar, from planting to tasting. www.taifupacking.com #taifupacking #cigarpackage

Marketing a destination isn't just rehashing the same old story. It's understanding the changing interests of travelers. And modernizing the message. Take Cape May, known as America's Original Seashore Resort and a Victorian Treasure. It is a message that has worked for decades. But is it one that is going to appeal to younger generations? Maybe, but I doubt it. The one constant in life is change, and travelers' appetites are changing. Case in Point: Did you know that the Cape May Peninsula is a federally-recognized wine appellation and one of only 4 American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) in the State of NJ? Until recently, I did not. However, that's actually a pretty amazing little fact that I can use to entice travelers who might be more interested in varietals, vintages, and botanical views vice Victorian architecture. As I am writing this, I am even thinking of a post-stay survey to see what guests enjoyed most, especially my new tenants, so I can get a leg up on next year's marketing messages. This one was a fun one to write and even more fun to try. If you ever find yourself On The Way To Cape May, be sure to sample arguably the best wine produced in NJ! If I am around, I'd love to share a toast with you! #OnthewaytoCapeMay #CapeMay #CapeMayNJ #wine #winecountry #cheers #vacationrentals #vacationhome #shorttermrentals

We have some real superstars in the York & North Yorkshire Hospitality Junior Board and so far have met Chloe Robinson, Tom Howes, Sophie Baker Assoc CIPD, Adam Atkinson, and Jasmine Iley. Now we get to meet Olly Longbottom, Restaurant supervisor at the The Star Inn, Harome. We caught up with Olly and asked him about his career to date and why he loves hospitality! "I’m Olly, I’m 24 years old, and an example of what Yorkshire has to offer! A lover of sports, hiking and all things hospitality. I completed a degree in mixology in Austria, followed by a few years at the Pheasant, where I completed my WSET level 2 (wines and spirit education). Now I work at the Michelin star Gastro pub, Star inn at Harome, usually involved anywhere there is cheese and wine!" Its great having you on board Olly Longbottom - you bring so much passion, dedication, and skill to the Board. I also think you are the first person who probably loves cheese as much as I do 😀 Hospitality is hugely undervalued and misunderstood - nationally and regionally. However we believe what we do regionally is what matters and now that the York & North Yorkshire Combined Authority is in place the region can really get behind this most valuable sector - valuable in terms of economics, people, and place. #hospitality #juniorboard #perception #skills #learninganddevelopment

Had a fantastic couple of days of onsite planning. Don’t be fooled by the sunglasses, they're hiding tired eyes after a long day of inspections. Including 4 restaurants, 3 vineyards, 2 hotels and a Partridge in a Pear Tree (just checking you’re still paying attention). Happy Friday all! #eventplanner #eventprofessional #eventplannerlife #Sitevisit #siteplanning #onsiteinspection
