A12: Travel companies have to remember that these kinds of practices won't amount to much unless they take into account communities of people in the places where those practices happen. Education and employment are essential to any meaningful sustainability efforts. #TWchats

Q12: Roundtable topic: What is something important that travel companies should do to raise the bar on sustainability/environmental practices? #TWchats

Oh, I have to add Sea Ranch. That is a very, very happy place. I spent my 40th birthday there.

A11: I usually answer this question by saying a Greek island, and I’ll stand by that answer. But the forests of Northern California and the Pacific Northwest are also way up there, as are Mexican cities. #TWchats

Q11: Editors in the past two roundtables have a “happy place” when talking about travel plans. Where’s your happy place? #TWchats

A10 (2/2): But I think it’s possible for hotels, particularly non-urban ones, to mix and match these qualities, and now I’m thinking about a recent trip my family took to @GoldenEyeResort in Jamaica. #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

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

A9: I have enjoyed all of these styles, but right now I generally gravitate to the lifestyle/boutique hotel category for the mix of intimacy, personality, and service. #TWchats

Condé Nast Traveler @CNTraveler

Q9: Major resort, lifestyle/boutique hotel or Airbnb? Which of these styles appeals to you most right now & why? #TWchats

RT @bystephwu: @CNTraveler We’re doing a lot of thinking about different approaches to escapism. This recent story about travel through vid…

And we’ve also done a lot of stories about how you can stoke your wanderlust from home: https://t.co/oXfTAdFVRf #TWchats (2/2)

A8: At @cntraveler, we have been doing a lot of great reporting not only on how the crisis affects travelers, but also the human stories, like this one about folks who just opened a boutique hotel in update NY: https://t.co/3mhpIe9NMy (1/2)

Q8: With travel at a standstill, how do you approach travel writing or travel journalism? Readers: What types of stories resonate with you? Links to your top or favorite articles encouraged ... #TWchats

It has been five years since my wife and I last visited Korea, and I have found myself thinking about the food there lately: black pork and abalone porridge on Jeju, gukbap in Busan, soondae at Gwangjang Market in Seoul, temple food at a fancy restaurant in Gangnam… #TWchats

Q7: Covid crisis: Restaurants are struggling right along with travel overall. If you could travel to one destination with a heavy foodie focus, where would it be? #TWchats

I loathe obsequiousness. I just want to be treated like a person. But I love great service. To me, that begins with always being there when you’re needed and never being there when you’re not. Hotels that get that right have me forever. #TWchats

Condé Nast Traveler @CNTraveler

Q6: More on hospitality: Tweet a hotel practice that turns you off -- or that you used to dislike but have learned to appreciate. #TWchats

Given the growing global interest in health & wellness, especially related to hospitality, it made all the sense in the world for @EquinoxHotels to do what it has done. I'd be interestged to see what an outdoor brand like @Patagonia would do in the hospitality space. #TWchats

Condé Nast Traveler @CNTraveler

Q5: Roundtable topic: Equinox, Taco Bell, Bulgari are among consumer brands that have entered hospitality. What have you seen them do that’s right? And which brand(s) SHOULD get in, but haven’t yet? #TWchats

I think a whole slew of sophisticated biometrics are coming to airports, but it won't be overnight. #TWChats

Stephanie Wu @bystephwu

@CNTraveler I’m used to this at my home airport in Taipei, but I’d like to see more airports adopt unobtrusive temperature screening methods. The onus shouldn’t be solely on airlines. #TWChats https://t.co/bVybghUm9A
