"Unlike the man in the video, I waited until I was 54 to begin wandering the world, but the sentiment is the same. It is so easy to forget that love of friends and family, laughter, and joy are so much more important than working 70 hours per week for things like money, success, and fame, which in the end bring no joy. In my case, joy results from realizing, time and again, that we are all one human family, and Peru was one of the places on this earth that forcefully brought that message home." By Barbara Weibel

The world of travel, tourism and hospitality is a competitive one, with thousands of brands fighting to stay afloat in a raging sea of sameness. To distinguish your brand in a crowded marketplace, you must look beyond the more obvious features of your product to consider the broader experience you create for your customers, the meaning they take away from those experiences, and the role you play in their lives by providing them.

People who work in the tourism industry say Korea needs destinations with stories to achieve sustainable growth in tourism. Dae Jang Geum Theme Park and Nami Island both were featured in popular drama series, but their similarities end there. The lack of a story was one of the reasons Dae Jang Geum Theme Park closed earlier this year, while Nami Island succeeded by rewriting its story from the remnants of failure.

Why is there such an obligatory feeling to work on ones holiday? In most case scenarios, I wouldn't have bothered bringing and burdening myself with my new Nikon toy & its accessories on my week off. But I was going to Myanmar, a nation that I have placed close to my heart and visually strikes me as one of the most photogenic countries I have even seen.

Despite the fact that Miss Turner was convinced I would never amount to anything as a writer, I continued telling stories, and I urged others to do the same. I continued to come across references to rules and different paradigms that suggested a limit to storytelling. There are only seven types of story. Show, don’t tell. Don’t use fragments. They all bemused me. Delete the scoop?

Graham Hughes, from Liverpool, used buses, taxis, trains and his own two feet to travel 160,000 miles in exactly 1,426 days - all on a shoestring of just $100 a week. 'I love travel, and I guess my reason for doing it was I wanted to see if this could be done, by one person traveling on a shoestring,' he told the Christian Science Monitor. 'I think I also wanted to show that the world is not some big, scary place, but in fact is full of people who want to help you even if you are a stranger.'

An October 2012 survey by Edelman Berland and Adobe found that American consumers are looking for deeper brand engagement than banner ads and social media “like” buttons. 73% of the 1000 adults surveyed agreed with the statement, “Advertisements should tell a unique story, not just try to sell.” Marketers are probably shaking their heads back and forth right now, thinking, “But we have been telling you stories all along!” Perhaps, but the beauty of story is in the eye of the beholder. Clearly, many customers are not feeling engaged and immersed in the brand stories they’re currently hearing. They’re hungry to connect with other users and share their experiences, whether positive or negative. Confident brands that can get comfortable with this loss of control are likely to move ahead, I believe. Via Gregg Morris, Jim Signorelli Delete the scoop?
