Presented by Brand USA Episode Notes Travelers heading to New York City for the Fourth of July weekend aren't booking as many short-term rentals as they did last year. Bookings are instead surging at destinations along the Atlantic coast, writes Global Tourism Reporter Dawit Habtemariam.  AirDNA revealed that New York City is no longer a top 10 market for the holiday and has been replaced by coastal destinations in Delaware and Maryland. Short-term rental bookings at coastal destinations for this Fourth of July weekend are up more than 7% from last year. Bookings for urban destinations saw a 10% drop from last year's holiday weekend, which AirDNA attributes to a decrease in supply. Next, Jeff Miller, the longtime CEO and president of Travel Portland, will retire in December, writes Global Tourism Reporter Dawit Habtemariam.  Miller, who has led the organization for 19 years, has been an outspoken advocate for the city against what he's seen as negative news coverage of Portland. He said widespread reports about civil unrest in the city has damaged Portland's reputation among suburban residents.  Miller added Portland has made progress in rebooking conventions that had pulled out after the unrest, but still has a long way to go.  Finally, the post-pandemic tourism surge has helped make some services more expensive across the world. Associate Editor Rashaad Jorden turns to Ask Skift, our artificial intelligence chatbot, for more information about the link between the tourism boom and inflation.  Jordan cites Iceland and Greece as two nations where inflation has been tied to an increase in visitor numbers. A 10% jump in visitors to Greece this year could cause the country's property prices to increase close to 4%. In addition, inflation has been linked to tourism bumps from recent large concert tours, especially those of Taylor Swift and Beyonce.  Get more travel news at https://skift.com Producer/Presenter: Jose Marmolejos

Akbar Chisti and his wife, Megan, started Seamus Golf 11 years ago — they were one of the first in a slew of small makers in the golf space who have since helped define the look and feel of "new golf". The son of Pakistani immigrants, Akbar learned golf in his hometown of Portland, Oregon, while skipping Sunday school at his local mosque. He would eventually join the caddie ranks at Bandon Dunes quickly after the now-mega-resort opened in 2001, and now balances his business with coaching his daughter's volleyball team. Akbar is a joy.

Readers of The New York Times' Sunday print edition couldn't help but notice a full-page ad in the paper last weekend that began with the sentence “This is Portland.” It goes on to say, “We're a place of dualities that are never polarities. Two sides of the same coin that keeps landing right on its edge.” The ad appeared in a few other newspapers as well and it's part of a Travel Portland campaign, designed to promote tourism in the city. It has elicited mixed reactions among Portlanders.We dig into the ad campaign — what it says and what it doesn't say — and the larger effort to rehabilitate Portland's reputation. Our guests are Portland State University Associate Professor Lisa Bates, Portland Mercury News Editor Alex Zielinski and Amy Lewin, vice president of strategic communications for the Portland Business Alliance.

Full text: If you get the Sunday New York Times, your Fathers' Day edition had a very special message from Travel Portland, whose job is to convince people that the Rose City is a great place to visit. Don't get me wrong. Portland is a great place to visit. But, not right now. You see, we've got some issues to work out before we're ready for visitors. First, we've got to get the plywood off of our storefronts. But, unfortunately, every time that happens, a group of mostly peaceful rioters break our windows and loot our stores. We'd love to have you eat in our restaurants. But, we can't seem to hit the governor's target vaccination rate, so you'll have to order takeout or wait an hour for socially distanced seating. Oh, and make sure you bring a mask. We don't fluoridate our water, but everyone needs a mask. We'd love to have you see the sights. But, you have to have a taste for sitting in traffic. Our rush hour starts at about 2 pm and runs all the way past 6 pm. Just treat that as an opportunity to count tents and tarps. You might even catch a street brawl with transients beating each other with sticks. As the ad says, “Come see for yourself.” Just give us a few years to tidy up the place first. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/coffeewithcascade/message

The pandemic and short term rentals in Oregon. In mid March, 2020, the Coronavirus pandemic began impacting short term rental reservations in Oregon.  Airbnb saw its global reservations drop like a rock. For three months, the pandemic has basically eliminated the STR market.  Debi and Rob Hertert of Hosting Your Home use this episode to talk about how the pandemic is affecting them personally and other hosts they know. Debi and Rob are very concerned about the small towns on the Oregon coast.  The  towns are desperate for money but cannot sacrifice the health of their citizens.  Visitors can partially mitigate this conflict by spending most of their time at the vacation rental or outdoors.  They can wear masks and distance themselves when patronizing businesses. When hosts look at their Airbnb income reports, they look at graphs that have mostly dropped to zero.  Those who depend on the hosting income are in a very difficult position.  The more debt on the home(s) the worse the problem. And in the pandemic environment, the home sharing type of listing sadly disadvantages hosts who share space within their home; neither party is likely to want to share the same space. Debi mentions Host2Host, the nonprofit trade association that serves the host community in Oregon. Host2Host now uses Zoom for weekly "virtual coffees" and for monthly educational meetup webinars. The myriad of financial victims is spelled out in countless other articles but Debi mentions here the groups known as "DMOs", or Direct Marketing Organizations.  These include Travel Portland and Travel Oregon among others.  They are (were) funded by a tourism tax that is levied in addition to occupancy taxes.  So the far reaching travel marketing that brings tourists to Portland and Oregon isn't happening at anything like the previous levels.  Portland uses the STR occupancy taxes to fund affordable housing. That has also dropped to near zero for the past three months. It all seems like too much.  But - as Brian Chesky, Airbnb's CEO, said recently on an outreach call,  people love to travel.  They are reluctant to travel right now, but they will travel again.  It will definitely come back if hosts - and Airbnb - can survive beyond the downturn. Just before we recorded this podcast episode, the civil unrest beginning with Minneapolis flamed into being and is cause for all of us in the hospitality industry to improve lives, lessen burdens, and share opportunities.  Debi is going to try her best to learn more and share through Hosting Your Home. Links: Host2Host.org  is the Oregon-based nonprofit trade association serving STR hosts. Membership is open to anyone. You can hear about how it was created:  Host2Host is About to be Born! Airbnb's new cleaning protocol is a big change for STRs. Airbnb has over the years worked on inclusion. Their latest effort is  "Project Lighthouse"

We had an AWESOME photo shoot in Portland, Oregon directed by FabStayz founder Robert Geller, featuring airline flight attendant Danny Lee Cabrero as drag queen “Liquor Mini”, named after the little booze bottles on planes. It could not have been more fun! Robert was working on a publicity campaign for FabStayz and wanted it to be fun and attention getting. It worked! Danny visited 10 locations dressed in flight attendant drag, and photographer Carlos Camarena caught it all. The greater Portland area, with its supportive trade organization Host2Host, is the principal launch city for FabStayz. The PR campaign is soon to be released! Some highlights of the day: Michelle Boyle’s Tiny House Village in Sherwood, where Danny was definitely larger than life. Nectar, a friendly marijuana dispensary Blue Star Donut shop in Multnomah Village, where Danny’s blue dress was a color match and the donuts were delicious Danny doesn’t drink but still made a splash at the Sasquatch Brew Pub in Hillsdale Olympia Provisions Melty & Meaty food truck at Pioneer Courthouse Square Travel Portland’s Visitors Center Powell’s City of Books - the largest independent bookstore in the World! Sunset was at the eTukride at the end of the Tillikum bridge FabStayz’ mission is serving LGBTQ travelers by connecting them with hosts whom Robert terms “Fab Allies” All hosts list on his platform with the specific understanding of acceptance for all and fostering welcoming inclusive accommodations. FabStayz travelers know ahead of time that they do not need to explain or justify or do anything but enjoy being on vacation. When Debi asked Robert and Danny if they’ve ever been discriminated against during travels, Robert gave a nuanced answer that is helpful to understanding the issue. He also mentioned the site “Destination Pride” that gives travelers an acceptance measure of a city they are considering visiting. As FabStayz continues to evolve Watch for the addition of bed & breakfasts, inns and properties such amenities of spas and wedding facilities. Poised for continued growth FabStayz has been featured in over 40 articles, blog posts, tv podcast appearance. Not to be missed is the FabStayz demo video starring drag flight attendants Danny aka Liquor Mini and Esme Russell filmed on location at Tampa International Airport. Totally campy and so much fun! The demo video features launch destination: greater Portland, Oregon.  You can also read about FabStayz press coverage. Making your listing more inclusive: Robert invites listeners to look at his listing and consider “stealing” his first few lines that include his pronouns (just tells prospective guests that you are aware of pronouns as an important issue) and include an image of a poster or welcome mat with accepting language. He correctly notes that most guests don’t read everything in our listings, so put it in as a picture! Robert and Danny met each other through a “chance” discussion that Robert had with his hairdresser, and everything just clicked. In addition to Danny’s work as a flight attendant, in his fun but important side gig as “Liquor Mini”, he has helped raise over $500,000 for the Wings Foundation to support flight attendants in need. He is now also the Resort Director for Vacaya, an international LGBTQ travel agency that leases entire cruise ships and resorts. In that job Danny gets to show the world the charismatic leader he really is!

Full episodes info and Show Notes - www.wearelookingsideways.com It’s the final episode from my Portland series, recorded during a breakneck week spent exploring the City of Roses with my various guests. And this episode, recorded with my very old friend Jonathan Weaver, is a fitting departure from the usual format. That’s because we recorded this episode during a very pleasant and leisurely drive around the Oregon coastline. I rode shotgun, grabbed the mics and spent an extremely enjoyable day riding around, checking the surf and having what is even for me a properly meandering conversation. And what a perfect format it was for exploring Jon’s inspirational and circuitous career through the industry. I actually gave Jon his first gig as a writer way back when I helped to run Whitelines, and he’s sure come a long, long way since then; ticking off stints as a snowboarder, team manager, and general industry mover and shaker at brands like Forum and Nike as his career has flourished. Listeners often ask how you begin get a career in the action sports industry, and this episode is a very good place to start. Above all, it’s the story of a brilliant life in snowboarding and beyond, powdered by passion and curiosity. I’m very proud to call Jon a close friend, and even more stoked to have him on the show for the episode. Hope you enjoy it. HUGE thanks to Travel Portland, Kex Portland, Hertz and Black Diamond PR for their help in pulling this entire trip together. Thanks to Matt Ward for the theme tune, and to my editor Fina Charleson.

Full episodes info and Show Notes - www.wearelookingsideways.com It's the first episode of my special Portland omnibus - and I kicked things off with this conversation with the great Mark Lewman, recorded at Nemo HQ in Portland. Lewman has had one of those circuitous, intensely creative career path that action sports culture often throws up. We’re dealing with creative royalty, a man who’s resume includes stints steering era-defining titles such as Freestylin’, Homeboy, Sassy, Dirt, Grand Royal and Big Brother. Along the way he worked on Jackass, collaborated with his friend Spike Jonze and ghostwrote Mat Hoffman’s autobiography. He then switched codes, went brand-side and works today as one of the honchos at Nemo Design, delivering ground-breaking campaigns
for some of the biggest companies in action sports.  As you might expect from that CV, Lewman has a wealth of anecdotes and experience, and I had a blast during this conversation. As ever with these episodes, this is the story of how somebody carved out a unique career in the industry, and had a riot doing it. Right up my strasse, then. My thanks to Lewman and everyone at Nemo for being such great sports for this one, and to Travel Portland, Kex Portland, Hertz and Black Diamond PR for their help in pulling this one together. Thanks to Matt Ward for the theme tune, and to my editor Fina Charleson.

We've got some exciting things on the horizon, but we wanted to take a look back at the 50th episode of our show which celebrated Portland, Oregon. We were joined by Jeff Miller, CEO and president of Travel Portland, along with our own Jake Rossman.

In this episode, I talk to Ellen Freeman, a freelance writer and editor based in Mexico City.

We're officially off wedding hiatus! VillageVibesPodcast had an incredible opportunity this weekend to hear the stories of some amazing POC vendors at My People's Market. It's a long one but it's worth hearing the beautiful things folks are doing for their communities locally and at large. Please take a listen if you are at all invested in community, unity, or just hearing how someone is changing their corner of the world. Major ups to My People's Market, Y.G.B., The Printory, Travel Portland, Prosper Portland, and MercatusPDX. This week was the best representation of #ittakesavillage

This week: Portland's mayor proposes a plan to help renters expunge criminal convictions; climate change is having the least impact on Oregon and Washington; Portland and Multnomah county government are working together on a plan to allow homeless families to park overnight on church property and the Portland City Council imposed a 2% fee on short-term rentals to support Travel Portland and a $4 per night fee to support low-income housing.

On this week's show, CJ and Jordan talk LeBron vs. Lance, Russ' interactions with Jazz fans, Al Horford being underappreciated, and Terry Rozier's Drew Bledsoe jersey. Also, Jordan tries to get CJ to compare himself to James Harden, we play a new game called "Bet or No Way," and the Browns drafted Baker Mayfield! Was that the right pick? We've got a lot to cover... PULL UP! Follow CJ @CJMcCollum on FB/Twitter and @3jmccollum on Instagram. Follow Jordan @Schultz_Report on Twitter and Insta. Special thanks to this week's sponsor, Travel Portland.

Please join Debi Hertert of the podcast HostingYourHome and Portland's Airbnb Superhost Shannon Hiller-Webb.   Debi discovers Shannon’s amazing involvement in hosting and curating guest experiences, and about her own local food business “Green Zebra”.  Shannon uses her connections with the local food scene, art scene and other social contacts to help guests find the right place to eat and what’s happening that night in Portland.  She has guests from all over the world and relates a great story about being an unkowing contributor to a Japanese book “The Ultimate Guidebook to Portland for Creative People.” And then found out the book was commissioned by Travel Portland, who gave her a copy.  This is an unusually long episode but absolutely worth the listen! The episode starts with a tour of her house for the first fifteen minutes or so, but even during the tour a lot of information is given such as her feelings about pricing, cleaning fees, and her use of Instant Book.  She may be the only Instant Book listing where half of the bookings are still preceded by dialog before the person books!  She has made best friends with many of her guests, and has seen her guests make similar friendships with one another. Shannon is devoted to making her guests feel both welcome and safe.  She shares stories – some poignant, some practical, and some hilarious. You will hear from Jaeger the weimereiner too!   It is so interesting to hear stories from all the different hosts who Debi interviews.  For hosts who have a private suite, their interaction with guests is likely minimal compared with the more traditional model of sharing your space in the fashion that Shannon does.  So it's great to be able to hear all the different ways that people host.
