“GT” retired its weekly “Good news in tourism” posts in April 2021. The weekly posts featured brief summaries of and links to positive industry news from off-piste sources. Before December 2019, “GT” would summarise under-reported news stories or thought-provoking feature articles by non-industry media. The sources were well-attributed and linked. Any content “GT” republished in full was available for that purpose from the likes of The Conversation and Thomson Reuters Foundation.
