Annual #Travel Editors Roundtable
TWChats
A9. Airbnb still appeals. Intimate, private spaces away from crowds of other guests, easy/practical for family to stay together in safe, small groups, and can be found away from the more crowded tourist centres. #TWchats

replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A8) I love to read past reports right now & enjoy pictures etc. I am dreaming of future travel & living through those kinds of articles right now. I apprecaite the people who are sharing what different companies are doing etc so we get an idea what we can look forward to #TWchats
replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A8 #TWChats I’m writing about inspirational destinations with outdoor activities - incl parks + gardens - aplenty that readers can put on their bucket list for when we start traveling again, such as the Azores, Faroe Islands, Martinique, and St. Kitts.
A8: It's so important, whether writing articles or press releases, though, not to be tone-deaf. To wit, today I sat through a one-hour-webinar about #Lombardy in Italy and COVID was not mentioned one time. That's just irresponsible, IMHO. #TWchats
A9: Do we have to pick just one? One of the things we love most about the travel industry is that there is a property, destination, and experience for every personality. #TWchats
RT @dailysuitcase: This crisis has proven once and for all (not that those of us in the business need proof) that travel is big business an…
RT @AFARmedia: Sweet A-frame in the woods sound good right about now? Try one of these: https://t.co/sYQSJyUOG8 #TWchats
We are waiting for you with open arms! #TWChats @AFARmedia https://t.co/jLvxXWWKgH
replying to @AcqualinaResort @AcqualinaResort @chefmichy Was the cooking class recorded? #twchats
Ha ha @jacquigiff if I could take my kids to the resort club right now I would do it IN A SECOND .... oh for safer times .... #TWchats https://t.co/EbSWR5xaJU
replying to @CNTraveler @CNTraveler A6. Bellboys and concierges. I can carry my own belongings, thanks. After all, I did make it all the way from home. I’d rather encounter as few people as possible between the plane and the shower, so I value self-service wherever possible. #TWChats
replying to @Tours_By_Locals @Tours_By_Locals They are really going to need to beef up cleaning protocols, though. As a traveler, I would trust a hotel more than an Airbnb property to clean properly. #TWChats
A9 I prefer small and intimate boutique hotels or private rental any way. Would definitely feel safer for the time being. #TWchats https://t.co/ymGPKSd08b
A8: Travel advice/destination articles are close to useless right now, so our latest issue of @perceptivetrav is a retrospective of armchair travel stories called "You Weren't Going to Go There Anyway" #TWChats https://t.co/R9Z81M9gCG
RT @jules_afar: A8 There's still a huge appetite for travel storytelling that inspires travelers. Even if they're not traveling now, @AFARm…
A9: Thinking about hotels? Here's some of what you can expect. #TWchats https://t.co/cvbcbl5mVt
replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A9: I want a big house where my family can all be in one place together, for a week at least. Beaches optimal. So ... Airbnb? #TWChats
A9. not all #vacationrentals are an #airbnb! I would be more inclined to small, boutique style, professionally managed private vacation rentals #smallbiz #propertymanagers #villarentals #supportlocal #TWchats https://t.co/vZ9isnM5DU
A9: We are so inspired by boutique hotels right now! We are dreaming of @Meadowoodnews - situated on a 250-acre wine country estate, we can’t think of a better place for a getaway. #TWChats
replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews Resort by the ocean or on an Island. Miss the wave, smell and breeze #TWchats
replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A9: A little bit of everything. We love the peace of mind a resort offers, the personalized touch of a boutique hotel and the sense of home with Airbnb. #TWChats
A9: Typically urban boutique/lifestyle, but lately thinking of a remote villa. #TWChats
replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A9: I hate these bourgeois places. I want to stay in a semi rundown hostel with other travelers. It’s my favorite way to travel. They already have their itinerary set and I just tag along without the hassle of planning. #TWChats
So @KGlowczewska you might appreciate my ode to people watching ... this was #carnivalsunrise but my favorite place on the planet is a hotel bar with a view https://t.co/URcrStD13m #TWchats https://t.co/elBlEryCwJ
Q10: Roundtable topic: hotelier Ian Schrager talked about "extrovert" hotels (buzzy, fun, high-energy) and "introvert" hotels (low-key, old-school, formal). Which do you fancy, and why? #TWchats

A10: Adventure travel in small groups is an intense bonding experience, so "introvert" hotels are the preference with our staff! We use the hotel for unwinding, relaxing, and preparing for tomorrow, so busy common areas and tons of activities feel unnecessary. #TWChats
replying to @dailysuitcase @dailysuitcase @Tours_By_Locals I agree with this. #TWChats

A10: I’m very definitely in what Ian calls the “introverted” camp, but I dispute the term. I’m not introverted! I just like to relax, to slow time down and enjoy the quiet and daydream, not have some crap music pumped into me like intravenous meth. #TWchats

A9 Small boutique hotels like @villa_premiere and @Pastagonia_camp are on our list! Fewer people around, and you are taken care of very well. #TWchats #TravelwENroute
A10 There's room for both. Most people have a combination of both traits in them! #TWchats
A10 (1/2): At this stage in my life, I usually prefer the latter, with a wonderful recent staycation at @thelowellhotel here in NYC coming to mind. #TWChats https://t.co/ZhAqllfuHV
Could the next major trend be #glamping? Our hotels editor @cjtravelweekly examined it in this article last fall, with more to come ... https://t.co/QEIaUb3nqJ #TWchats
A10: Like many others, I assume, it depends on mood, location. Now my mood must be indecisive – so introverted for the moment. #TWChats
