Kicevon hirviö oli sarjamurhaaja, joka terrorisoi Kicevon kaupunkia Makedoniassa. Poliisi ei ottanut ensimmäisten uhrin katoamisia tosissaan, mutta tapaukset saivat näkyvyyttä paikallisen toimittajan ansiosta. Kun uhreja alkoi tulla lisää, poliisin oli pakko alkaa pohtia sitä vaihtoehtoa, että kyseessä todella oli sarjamurhaaja ja uhreja voisi tulla vielä enemmän, jos tekijää ei saataisi pysäytettyä.

「千葉・銚子の“音信不通”ホテル　運営会社の社長が会見「リフォームしたいので予約サイトは10月に止めていた」」　千葉・銚子市にあるホテルが突然音信不通になった問題で、運営会社の社長が26日午後3時半過ぎに取材に応じ、「今回ご迷惑をおかけして、すみませんでした」と謝罪しました。この問題は、日本で一番早く初日の出が見られる銚子市犬吠埼の「ホテルニュー大新」が突然音信不通になったもので、市の観光協会には「予約したのに連絡が取れない」などの相談が相次いで寄せられています。26日午後、ホテルの運営会社の社長が取材に応じ、現在の状況について説明しました。運営会社の社長：（休業は）老朽化でリフォームしたいので。OTA（予約サイト）は10月から（予約できないように）止めていますので。運営会社の社長は、リフォームをした上で2026年春の再開を目指すとしています。

In this episode, editors Sara V. Torres and Nahir I. Otaño Gracia discuss the themed issue of Viator they co-edited entitled "Early Global Insularities." They are joined by three of the contributors to the cluster (Tarren Andrews, Tanvir Ahmed, and Jonathan F. Correa Reyes) for a conversation about both pre-modern discourses of insularity, the lasting legacies of discourses that approach insularity as a form of isolation, and some of the ways in which insularity can be theorized as a form of connection. Islands occupy a sometimes ambiguous place in center-periphery models. As the conversation explores a wide range of conceptualizing islands in medieval, early modern, and modern texts, it "centers" insularity as a topography, a literary conceit, and a disciplinary trope. In a time of climate crisis, the precarity of islands and archipelagoes (so often the sites of colonial violence) brings a sense of urgency to this reappraisal of the historical ideation of insularity and the relationship of the local to the global.

IL GRANDE RIALLINEAMENTO — Il Futuro del Turismo nel 2026 Puntata speciale dedicata all'analisi dei principali report di fine anno sul futuro del travel. Dal paradigma "Restless and Resigned" di Skift all'Era dell'IO di Booking.com, passando per la rivoluzione dell'AI Agentica che sta riscrivendo le regole del gioco. In 45 minuti esploriamo: la morte dell'OBT tradizionale nel business travel, il Model Context Protocol che minaccia le OTA, i nuovi archetipi del viaggiatore (dal Romantasy al Sleep Tourism), e perché la favola della sostenibilità non avrà un lieto fine.

Hello and welcome back to First Principles. This is the part 2 of the 49th episode since we started, or the 8th episode of season 3.In this episode, I sit down with Aloke Bajpai, Group CEO of Ixigo, one of India's fastest-growing and most downloaded travel platforms. While most Indian OTAs followed the Western template of flights-first followed by hotels, Aloke and his co-founder Rajnish took a radically different path. The one that would take nearly 14 years before Ixigo became a full-blown OTA.Aloke takes us through Ixigo's unconventional journey, starting as a meta-search engine in 2007 that couldn't raise funding for over a year. We explore how the insight that 96% of Indians don't fly, led them to build a train-first platform, spending four years creating utility features without any monetization. He breaks down the technical innovation behind solving India-specific problems. Right from predicting waitlist confirmations using machine learning to creating a crowdsourced running status system using cell tower IDs when GPS and internet failed along railway tracks.A central theme is resilience through empathy. Aloke shares how near-death experiences during the 2008 global financial crisis and COVID-19 shaped Ixigo's culture. We discuss the founder's decision to go to zero salary, the whiteboard moment where the entire team transparently decided on salary cuts, and the contrarian choice to proactively refund customers during COVID even when the company was running out of money. Finally, Aloke argues that peace of mind, not tickets, is what travel companies should really be selling. First Principles has been named one of the best shows of 2025 on Apple Podcasts India! Every listen and every share is what keeps us going. We get to dive into these conversations because you show up for them. Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Check out all other episodes here.

Christy Hunter started Photo Walk Nashville seven years ago after discovering Airbnb Experiences, combining her photography skills with local knowledge to create tours that capture memories for travelers. What began as open photo shoots quickly evolved as she learned to segment products for different customer types—bachelorette parties, couples, solo travelers, dog owners, and corporate groups.The conversation covers her product development journey, including early mistakes like mixing incompatible customer types and learning when to say no. Christy emphasizes the importance of local partnerships, sharing examples like teaming up with cosmetic brand Winky Lux for a home base and an apartment complex for rooftop access.On marketing, Christy shares her successful TikTok strategy: having team member Gina speak directly to camera as if she were a past guest ("You have to do this one thing in Nashville..."), which drove multiple viral videos and direct bookings. She also discusses influencer marketing from both sides—as a tour operator and as an influencer herself—stressing the importance of clear communication, doing research on engagement rates, and not asking for specific deliverables.Christy expanded to Charleston this year when a team member relocated, keeping the same operational model rather than franchising. She's also building Go To Nashville, an OTA reselling partner experiences through Tour Base's affiliate system. Looking ahead, she's focused on increasing capacity utilization rather than geographic expansion, and launching a consulting business to help other photographers and retailers enter the tourism space.Top 10 TakeawaysShe learned to segment products by customer type after mixing incompatible groups. Couples from Ohio and bachelorette parties on the same tour didn't work. She created separate experiences for bachelorette parties, dog owners, proposals, and corporate groups. She also had to add rules like no showing up intoxicated.Local partnerships solved operational problems. She partnered with Winky Lux cosmetics to use their store as a tour base. She partnered with an apartment complex to do one event per month in exchange for building access, free parking, gym, pool, and exclusive rooftop access for a champagne add-on.She met business partner Gina through Airbnb host meetups. Gina developed scheduling systems for Photo Walk and now leads their TikTok strategy. They found a part-time scheduling manager who is also one of their hosts to keep operations in the family.Styled shoots solve the content creation problem. Designate one day per quarter or year, hire models (friends and family work), hire a photographer, and simulate the tour experience. Creating content during real tours is too difficult.Their TikTok strategy: Gina speaks as if she's a past guest. She says "you have to do this one thing in Nashville" direct to camera. They had multiple viral videos and saw direct booking surges. They repeat the same hook for different demographics. TikTok shows it to different audiences each time.Influencer marketing is about clear communication and research. Look at engagement rates, not follower counts. Check if they have real followers by looking at views relative to follower count. Don't ask for specific deliverables. Show them a good time and they'll naturally post. Get expectations in writing.She hires photographers who are connectors and storytellers first. Technical skill matters, but being a people person is more important. She uses live view mode to avoid putting the camera between her and the guest. She tells guests upfront she has posing ideas so they relax.She tracks booking sources through Peak's intake form. She asks "how did you hear about us?" Her biggest...

Kelly Brennan katosi vuoden 2010 helmikuussa kesken tavallisen arkipäivän Floridassa. Ennen kuin poliisit ehtivät edes kunnolla aloittaa Kellyn katoamisen tutkintaa, he saivat vihjeen, jonka mukaan eräs nainen oli nähnyt unta Kellyn murhasta. Tiesikö nainen oikeasti jotain Kellyn murhasta, vai oliko kyseessä oikeasti pelkkä uni?

Las Vegasin poliisilla oli vuonna 2001 tutkittavanaan erittäin raaka murha, jonka uhri oli koditon mies nimeltä Duran Bailey. Tutkinnan alkuvaihessaa poliisi sai vihjeen, jonka mukaan murhan tekijä saattoi olla 18-vuotias Kirstin Blaise Lobato. Kirstin oli kertonut usealle tuttavalleen, että oli Las Vegasissa ollessaan puukottanut hänen kimppuunsa käynyttä koditonta miestä. Mutta oliko Kirstin todella surmannut Duranin, vai oliko kyseessä täysin eri rikos?

Greg Coleman's career took a turn that almost no one expects. After helping build a venture-backed tech company and appearing on Shark Tank, he shifted into a world most founders overlook: government contracting. In this conversation, Greg explains how startups, consultants, and small businesses can position themselves to work with federal agencies, navigate complex programs like SBIR and OTAs, and understand what it actually takes to break into the government market.Greg spent years inside the Department of Defense innovation ecosystem, where he evaluated early-stage technologies, managed prototype programs, and worked directly with founders trying to sell to the government. Today he advises companies on how to approach the federal market, avoid common mistakes, and build real opportunities inside agencies.If you're exploring government contracting for the first time, wondering how companies get funding, or trying to understand what separates successful federal vendors from everyone else, this interview gives you a clear, realistic starting point.Chapters00:00 – Greg's background and early Air Force career02:15 – Flying high-level government officials and global missions04:05 – Launching a startup and appearing on Shark Tank07:10 – Entering the government innovation ecosystem (DIU, NSIN)13:45 – How SBIR and STTR really work for small businesses18:20 – OTAs and how companies move from prototype to production25:10 – Examples of emerging tech companies building for the government31:20 – The hardest challenge: crossing the “valley of death”35:00 – Greg's advisory work helping companies approach the federal market38:30 – Greg's thoughts on the GovClose Certification ProgramWork With GregGreg advises early-stage and growth-stage companies (Pre-Seed through Series B) on entering the federal market, building repeatable sales strategies, and navigating SBIR, OTA, and prototype pathways.Connect: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregorycoleman/Become a Certified Government Contracting ProfessionalLearn federal sales, pipeline building, and modern acquisition strategies inside the GovClose Certification Program:https://govclose.comHire a GovClose-Trained ConsultantCompanies can get matched with trained federal sales consultants here:https://match.govclose.com

Kesällä 1971 katosi kolme nuorta naista jäljettömiin Helsingin lähistöllä. Kun tyttöjen ruumiit löytyivät, poliisi alkoi epäillä että kaikki kolme oli surmannut sama henkilö. Koska tytöt olivat kadonneet liftaamisen yhteydessä, poliisi epäili että uhrit olivat nousseet tappajansa auton kyytiin.

The short-term rental market is entering a new phase — one where stability, not volatility, is driving the biggest changes. In this fireside chat from the Data & Revenue Management Conference, Jamie Lane joins Simon Lehmann and Pedro Borges to break down the real signals behind 2025's “steady state” and what it means for hosts and managers heading into 2026. This isn't a hype-filled projection; it's a data-backed look at supply slowdowns, shifting guest behavior, and how professionalization continues to reshape the competitive landscape.From the K-shaped performance split between luxury and mid-market listings to the growing influence of OTA ranking systems, the conversation highlights why outperforming your market now depends less on macro tailwinds — and more on operational sharpness. Jamie and Pedro dig into pricing challenges, the emerging STR-to-midterm pivot in major cities, and how rising owner expenses like taxes and insurance are reshaping what “profitability” even means. If you want a grounded, unfiltered view of where the industry is actually heading, this episode delivers it.For STR operators planning their next move, this is essential listening. You don't want to miss this episode!Key TakeawaysStability requires strategy: With occupancy flat and supply growth at historic lows, 2025–2026 will be a competition for share, not an automatic lift.Quality gaps matter: Listings with sub-4.7 ratings are shrinking fastest as OTAs elevate top-tier properties and push weaker performers to page two and beyond.Profitability is the real KPI: Rising insurance and property taxes mean managers must understand — and communicate — homeowner-level financial realities.Luxury grows, mid-market squeezes: The K-shaped recovery continues, rewarding high-end supply while challenging budget and mid-tier operators.Midterm strategies surge: Regulatory pressure and seasonality are accelerating the blend of STR and midterm stays, especially in cities like NYC, Denver, and LA.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

David Utterback is a multiple-time James Beard Award honoree and the first Nebraska-based chef to be named a finalist for Best Chef: Midwest (2023). As the chef and owner of Omaha's acclaimed restaurants Yoshitomo, Ota, and Koji (his flagship Japanese restaurant, high-end omakase counter, and izakaya concept, respectively), he has earned national recognition for redefining Japanese cuisine in the American Midwest—with even The Washington Post declaring Ota as one of the country's best sushi restaurants. A self-taught sushi chef, David isknown for melding Midwestern ingredients with Japanese precision and technique, creating a style that honors tradition while pushing the boundaries of what sushi can be.Born to a Japanese mother and American father, David's path to sushi was unconventional. After years of being immersed in Omaha's indie punk scene, a job at a local sushi restaurant shifted his focus and ultimately sparked a lifelong passion. In 2008, a formative trip to Japan– including a meal at Sukiyabashi Jiro and a rare apprenticeship offer from Jiro Ono himself – solidified his commitment to mastering the craft on his own terms. Guided by self-study, his mother's translations of Japanese culinary texts, and countless omakase experiences across Japan and the U.S., David has forged a style that is both deeply personal and distinctly regional.He continues to challenge expectations of where exceptional sushi can be found – and what it can taste like.Send us a textFirecracker Farm Small-batch Spicy Salt Family farm with a secret blend of Carolina Reaper, Ghost, and Trinidad Scorpion peppers.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

We're focusing on an emerging branch of artificial intelligence called agentic AI – that is, an AI tool that can, essentially, act like a booking agent, all the way up to making a reservation on the traveler’s behalf. It acts like an agent – but is it a threat to human travel advisors? And what does agentic AI mean for the OTA model, supplier customer service and travelers themselves? On this episode, McKinsey and Co.’s Vik Krishnan and Travel Weekly aviation editor Robert Silk talk with host Rebecca Tobin about the latest developments in agentic AI and travel and where the technology could lead us. This episode was recorded Nov. 21 and has been edited for length and clarity.

On today's Good Morning Hospitality, Wil Slickers, Jamie Lane, Brandreth Canaley, and Michael Goldin break down Google's latest step into agentic travel planning. This system can build, price, and coordinate full itineraries, yet insists it has "no intention" of becoming an OTA. The crew explores what this means for hotels, short-term rentals, platforms, and anyone competing for consumer discovery and booking flows. Jamie also unveils brand-new data tracking World Cup demand across short-term rentals, including early signals on ADRs, booking pace, and which cities are heating up faster than expected. As the biggest travel event of 2026 approaches, the team looks at how STR markets are shifting in real time and what operators should be preparing for now. Plus, quick shoutouts to two recent fundraises from BoomPop and Localbird before diving into the week's biggest trends shaping hospitality and travel.

The conversation began, as many of mine do, with a topic I think we already understand.  This time it was influencer marketing. But before I could even roll my eyes at another mention of hashtags and brand deals, the discussion took a sharp turn toward something far more interesting: trust, storytelling, and what it really means to build relationships in a digital world that doesn't trust much anymore. That shift came courtesy of Sarah Stahl, co-founder of Market Movers. She's knee-deep in the world where AI, marketing, and hospitality overlap—a place where the glossy brand voice is fading fast, and authentic creators are taking the spotlight. Listening to her, I realized this isn't just about influencers. It's about how we all show up as marketers. What Makes a Good Creator Partnership Sarah's approach to creators feels refreshingly human. She doesn't chase follower counts; she looks for people who know how to build relationships. She compares choosing a creator to hiring an employee—sometimes you think you've found “the one,” and then day one tells a different story. That hit home for me. I've hired those “perfect” people before too, only to realize the chemistry wasn't there. Her advice? Start small, watch how they work, and build from there. The Power of Storytelling We talked about how hard it is to sell something you can't touch or taste online. Think about restaurants—how do you market flavor through a screen? The best creators don't just post photos; they tell stories that make people feel the experience. Sarah shared a beautiful story about one of her creators who found healing while working on a campaign. That moment of real emotion became part of the brand story—and honestly, that's the kind of marketing that stays with people. When Things Go Sideways At some point, every brand faces it: a creator says something that doesn't quite fit. My instinct as a business owner is to cringe, but Sarah made me pause. “Perfection breeds mistrust,” she said. And she's right. People don't expect flawless; they expect real. When something uncomfortable happens, it's an opportunity to step into the conversation—not hide from it. The New Rules of Visibility Sarah also made a point that stopped me in my tracks. AI tools like ChatGPT aren't pulling most of their information from your shiny website—they're pulling from stories. Creator content, real conversations, reviews. If your brand isn't in that mix, you're invisible. That's a wake-up call for every business owner clinging to the “if we build it, they will come” mindset. Key Takeaways • Build trust first. Pick creators who care more about their audience than their follower count. • Find your storytellers. The ones who can make your product or service feel real. • Don't panic over imperfection. Use it as a chance to connect, not retreat. • Invest in the relationship. The best results come from creators who grow with you. • Stay part of the conversation. The future of search and AI belongs to brands that keep showing up authentically. Influencer marketing isn't about trends or chasing the next viral post. It's about people—real voices telling real stories. And if you treat it that way, marketing starts to feel a whole lot less like work and a whole lot more like a conversation. And if that sounds a little too simple—good. Because simple usually works.   About Sarah Stahl Sarah Stahl, co-founder of Market Movers lives at the intersection of AI marketing and hospitality. If you've ever wondered how to turn “just another rental” into a brand guests remember (and actually book direct), that's my sweet spot. I'm obsessed with helping property owners cut through the noise, escape OTA dependence, and build systems that truly sell themselves. These days, I'm 100% focused on agentic search and direct booking strategies because the future of hospitality marketing isn't about chasing algorithms, it's about building brands guests can't forget. Always creative, always candid—that's me. Want to learn more  Go to :  https://sarahstahl.com/

Pastori Matthew Winkler löydettiin ammuttuna kotoaan Selmerin kaupungista Yhdysvalloissa. Melko pian selvisi, että kyseessä oli perheen sisäisen teko ja syyllinen saatiin kiinni. Motiivi teolle jäi kuitenkin epäselväksi, sillä syyttäjällä ja puolustuksella oli hyvin erilainen näkemys siitä, mikä rikokseen oli johtanut. Myös syyllisen saama tuomio jakoi valtavasti mielipiteitä. * Tiedäthän, että tämä kuuntelemasi jakso on podcastin aiempaa tuotantoa.

30 Euro gespart, drei Wochen Stress kassiert – genau so kann es laufen, wenn du deinen Flug über eine OTA buchst statt direkt bei der Airline. In dieser Folge spreche ich darüber, warum ich meine Flüge fast nie über Online Travel Agencies buche, obwohl sie auf den ersten Blick oft günstiger wirken. Du erfährst, was im Hintergrund eigentlich passiert, wenn ein Flug gestrichen wird, warum Zuständigkeiten im Ernstfall wichtiger sind als 20 Euro Preisunterschied – und in welchen wenigen Fällen OTAs trotzdem sinnvoll sein können. Darüber sprechen wir in der Folge: - Warum „billiger“ nicht automatisch „günstiger“ ist - Was OTAs eigentlich sind – und wie sie sich von Metasuchmaschinen unterscheiden - Mein reales Beispiel: gestrichener Regionalflug in Afrika und OTA-Support-Chaos - Wer dich im Problemfall wirklich weiterbringen muss: Airline vs. OTA - Das Risiko von getrennten Tickets, Self-Transfer und Flughafenwechseln (Paris, London & Co.) - Warum ein durchgehendes Ticket mit Interline-Partnern so viel wert ist - In welchen Situationen OTAs trotzdem okay oder sogar praktisch sein können - Meine persönliche Checkliste: Wann ich IMMER direkt bei der Airline buche Wenn dir die Folge gefällt, folg dem Podcast in deiner Podcast-App, lass mir gerne eine Bewertung da und teil die Episode mit Menschen, die gerade ihre nächste Reise planen – damit sie beim Buchen nicht in dieselbe Falle tappen.

Occupational therapy assistants are the bedrock of treatment provision in many OT departments throughout the country.In fact, In large rural SNFs, around  58% of OT staffing minutes are by OTAs.And, in rural and underserved communities, about 48% of all Medicare outpatient therapy services are provided by OTAs.But, not enough continuing education has been geared towards the unique challenges and opportunities within this profession. That's why I'm so thankful to begin a new annual series on Hot Topics for OTAs, with our first guest, Amy Mahle Ed.D., COTA/L, ROH. Amy and I will discuss the hot topics that are top of mind headed into 2026:  from changing reimbursement to the OTA pipeline, to new technologies at the point of care. This course is perfect for both occupational therapy assistants, and occupational therapists who are curious to learn more about our closest colleagues. Support the show

What happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas this time. Jamie Lane and Scott Sage are back from the VRMA conference with powerful insights shaping the future of short-term rentals—from the rise of AI tools to why “national is dead and local is king.” They unpack the data behind what's really driving property manager success today—and what's holding others back.In this episode, Jamie reveals new AirDNA research showing a major divide between top-performing property managers and the rest: those with review scores above 4.7 are keeping clients, while those below are losing nearly a quarter of their portfolio. They also explore why small, hyper-local co-hosts are thriving while national brands stall, and how a well-designed loyalty program can win repeat guests without relying on Airbnb or Vrbo.Later, they dig into the latest STR data—muted summer demand, shifting guest behavior, and the surprising 40% surge in New Year's bookings driven by holiday timing. Plus: a PSA every host using a PMS on Airbnb needs to hear before October 27th. Key Takeaways AI is already transforming hosting: Innovative tools are boosting communication scores and guest experiences, even before Airbnb or Vrbo roll out their own versions.The 4.7 Rule: Property managers with review scores below 4.7 now face double the churn rate (24%) of top performers—quality is retention.Local > National: Hyper-local operators managing 6–20 properties are growing fastest, proving proximity and personal touch beat big-brand scale.DIY Loyalty Works: Local managers can build profitable loyalty programs that attract repeat guests—no need to wait for OTA initiatives.Holiday & Market Insights: Expect strong end-of-year demand, a 40% New Year's Eve surge, and higher bookings in World Cup host cities next summer.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE
