#RangerBetty Retires: This Week in People and Job Searches

by Leave a Comment

Betty Reid Soskin, the oldest active ranger in the National Park Service, retired last week. “Soskin, who celebrated her 100th birthday in 2021, spent the last decade and a half sharing her personal experiences and the efforts of women from diverse backgrounds who worked on the World War II home front. Her interpretive programs at Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park also illuminated the histories of African Americans and other people of color, and her efforts demonstrate how her work has impacted the way the NPS conveys such history to audiences across the United States.” — National Park Service salute to #RangerBetty

Just wow and here’s to a Happy Retirement, Betty. Read more about Betty’s remarkable career here. [Image: Ranger Betty Reid Soskin in front of the Rosie the Riveter Visitor Center. NPS Photo/Luther Bailey]

Meet Kathryn Shea Duncan: 2022 Emerging Tourism Star From Visit Lake Charles

by Leave a Comment

Kathryn Shea Duncan

Congrats to Kathryn Shea Duncan, Director of Social Media at Visit Lake Charles, Louisiana. She’s one of nine winners in the second annual Emerging Tourism Stars program in partnership with MMGY Global.

Readers will meet the winners in upcoming issues of The Travel Vertical and they’ll be recognized in person during the 23rd Annual eTourism Summit on June 6-8, 2022 in Orlando.

What’s an Emerging Tourism Star? Savvy individuals (of any age!) in destination marketing and attractions that are new to the eTourism Community of digital travel and tourism professionals or have risen to the challenges of a role.

  • Winners will be directly connected with a travel and tourism leader as a mentor
  • Winners receive a scholarship to attend eTourism Summit
  • Winners will participate in a panel conversation at eTourism Summit moderated by MMGY Global
  • One winner will fill the eTS Emerging Tourism Star Advisory Board Seat (an annual appointment)

Q: Tell us about your professional journey. How did you arrive at your role?

I graduated from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in May 2018 and accepted a position immediately after graduation as the Special Projects Coordinator at the Acadia Parish Chamber of Commerce. In college, I worked anywhere from 2-4 jobs at a time, trying to get experience in any field that interested me. I worked in retail, photography/writing for a luxury neighborhood magazine, marketing for Lafayette Habitat for Humanity, freelance portrait and commercial photographer, and even an on-campus job in between classes. Each role played a part in crafting and leading me to where my professional journey would take me after graduation. 

I had no idea that a tourism career would interest me until I traveled the country as the 81st International Rice Festival Queen from 2017 to 2018. During my year reign, I traveled to over 80 events, festivals, and communities across the country, experiencing firsthand the power of destination marketing in even the smallest of communities. 

After a year at the Chamber, I was recruited by Kyle Edmiston, President/CEO of Visit Lake Charles, to become the media/public relations manager. After nearly 2.5 years in this role, I was promoted in January 2022 as the director of social media. 

I am very grateful that at the age of 25 I am in a career and profession that I enjoy every day. From photography to social media strategy, I can utilize all my talents to their greatest potential in my role at Visit Lake Charles. 

Q: What are first-time visitors most surprised to learn about the destination? 

Lake Charles is a blend of contrasts that magically works together in total harmony. With two side-by-side luxurious casino resorts, you’re able to unwind at the spas, float along the lazy rivers, witness entertainment from ZZ Top to comedian Tom Segura, golfing, and more. Within a short drive, you can also experience the untouched natural beauty along the Creole Nature Trail All-American Road by crabbing, birding, fishing, boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, shelling, and relaxing at the Gulf beaches and waterways.

Additionally, we consider our region to be the “Festival Capital of Louisiana” with dozens of festivals and fairs held annually. Events such as the Louisiana Pirate Festival, Louisiana Fur and Wildlife Festival, Iowa Rabbit Festival, Smoke & Barrel, Rouge et Blanc, Lake Charles Rum Revival, DeQuincy Railroad Festival, Boudin Wars… And I could go on and on! We host the second largest Mardi Gras in Louisiana, specifically known for being very family-friendly. 

Q: Southwestern Louisiana has had a lot of challenges in addition to the pandemic. What have you learned about crisis communications and what can you tell us about recovery?

In addition to COVID, Lake Charles has endured two back-to-back major hurricanes (August and October 2020), Winter Storm Uri (February 2021), and a historic flood (May 2021). 

In my role as the media/public relations manager, my role shifted from pitching outdoor family-friendly activities to telling the destination’s recovery story. 

In the days after Hurricane Laura (near Category 5), my eyes rarely lifted from my screen. I was monitoring media coverage, collecting hero stories, and facilitating and participating in interviews for media outlets across the world. Disaster after disaster, it was important to ensure I was telling uplifting and powerful stories of our destination’s recovery from every angle. 

The New York Times: How Do You Advertise a Town Ravaged by Hurricanes?

Recovery still is ongoing in parts of our region. However, after one year and 8 months after the landfall of Hurricane Laura, our region is telling a triumphant story. There have been several announcements and groundbreakings for projects across the region, particularly on our lakefront, such as the new Port Wonder, Crying Eagle Brewing’s microbrewery and full-service restaurant, Lake Area Adventures outdoor activity rentals, and Paul’s Rib Shack. 

The area will look radically different in the near future, and I am thrilled to be a part of the VLC team to see our community flourish. 

Q: What are some of your personal career goals and aspirations as an Emerging Tourism Leader?

I certainly consider myself a forward-thinker and career-driven young professional. I anticipate my career in tourism to be filled with leadership and mentorship that will guide me to achieve my goals. I aspire to first and foremost be the best leader I can be in any given role, no matter the title. As a professional, you’ll likely notice I am usually working quietly behind the scenes and listening more than speaking. I believe in playing to my strengths, such as my commitment to teamwork, empathy, and ability to connect with others. 

I look forward to the future where my strengthened leadership qualities and industry knowledge will steer me to effectively lead a team of marketing professionals at a DMO. 

I aspire to fine-tune my photography and videography skills to elevate the destination’s brand marketing. I am currently pursuing a Master’s in Business Administration at McNeese State University with plans to graduate in 2023. Additionally, I would like to obtain my Travel Marketing Professional (TMP) certification and Certified Destination Management Executive (CDME) credential in the future. 

Q: What recent business trip have you most enjoyed and why? 

In October 2021, I traveled to Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the Society of American Travel Writers Annual Convention. From the DMO’s staff, SATW convention organizers, and the Milwaukee community, I was impressed at every turn. The diversity in cuisine and impressive arts and theatre scene both made lasting impacts on me. 

Q: What do you hope to gain from attending your first eTourism Summit in 2022?

The summit will allow me the opportunity to put Southwest Louisiana in a national spotlight, form deeper connections with industry partners, and gain first-hand knowledge from seasoned tour and travel professionals. I couldn’t be more thrilled for the opportunity to advance my destination marketing and communication expertise, which will allow me to further demonstrate the value of our organization in Lake Charles. 

Guest Post: Cree Lawson, Arrivalist Founder & CEO, ‘What’s Really Going On With Location Data?’

by Leave a Comment

We’re so pleased that Cree Lawson, Arrivalist Founder & CEO, is sharing his latest hot topic opinion piece with The Travel Vertical.

Cree cuts to the chase — “Let me tell you exactly what’s going on with location data… warts and all… in layman’s terms… without the hype. I may be low on entertainment value but I’m long on truth. 10 years in the business does that to folks.”

Cree Lawson is a serial entrepreneur with over 20 years experience in travel, media and analytics. When not analyzing data and researching new marketplaces, he travels around the country presenting Arrivalist’s unique insights into the way media influences tourism to the 130+ cities, states and countries that Arrivalist counts as clients.

True or False? Arrivalist answers five of the questions clients have been asking most often.

“Change is in the air with Apple collecting consent and Google deprecating third-party cookies. Is location data under duress? Or will it continue its ascent?

Recently I’ve been fielding a lot of questions about “consented” and “un-consented” data and the future of location data. Is the location data under duress? Or are companies exploiting fear of impending changes to promote competing services?

Will location data be better or worse a year from now? The clear and resounding answer is… Yes.

Some aspects will improve as consenting users share more data from apps that clearly exchange location for utility and value. Other aspects of location data (at least in its raw form) will deteriorate as consent pop-ups make data collection inconsistent. Just like all the other research datasets that have come before us, using strong panels and robust modeling will make the insights as defensible as ever… maybe even better.

Let me tell you what’s going on with location data… warts and all… in layman’s terms… without the hype. I may be low on entertainment value but I’m long on truth. 10 years in the business does that to folks.

There are a few things clients have been asking us:

#1 Is the industry is awash in un-consented data – especially location data?

#2 Location data is changing; but how does that impact us?

#3 Does third-party cookies going away impact location data?

#4 Do location data companies track individual people?

#5 Is your IP address like your Social Security Number?

#1 – True or False: The location data industry is awash in “Un-consented” Location data and Apple and Google’s changes are doing away with it.

False. Consent is collected by the apps or websites you use and those apps/ websites are required to collect consent. Can you remember the last website you went to that didn’t give you an “allow cookies” pop-up? So there is very little un-consented data in use today and any self-respecting location data companies only license data from apps which collect consent. We require it from any app or app data aggregator we work with. Most do.

It’s true that Apple (and possibly Google) are adding new measures at an operating system level (one step above the site or the app) to give consumers even more control. But the fact that they’re giving consumers another layer of consent does not mean the rest of data collection is “un-consented.”

The additional layers of notice and consent that Apple is adding will only make the data better over time as more informed users share their data and apps that don’t need it don’t.

#2 Location data is changing; but how does that impact us?

To be sure, Apple’s location consent pop-ups are changing location data. There are two immediate types of impact:

  1. Visit trending data and visitor volume data is being disrupted by fewer Apps having permission to transmit data and
  2. More apps will only have permission to “Share While Using App.”

1-Trending Data

We hear reports weekly about some prospective client who doesn’t believe the trending data they receive from raw location data companies in reports. Our mantra is that a data source is only as good as the source of truth dataset you align it with. That’s why we built Calibrated Data and started aligning it with sources of truth like occupancy data. And turnstile data.

2-“Share While Using App.”

As more and more consumers are forced to select “Share While Using App”, the more data will be collected from users who use apps more. We built Calibrated Data to tackle exactly this App Usage Bias. Unfortunately younger, less affluent travelers use apps more than older travelers who spend more. Calibrated Data evens this out so that the balanced reports reflect all visitation – not just those who use apps more.

#3 True or False – Third-Party Cookies going away will impact Location Data

False. With so many changes on the horizon and so much FUD in circulation, it’s easy to draw this conclusion. But it’s fundamentally incorrect. Cookies record ad impressions. Location data is sent directly from the smartphone app to location data collection companies. There are no cookies in the middle. Let me set the record straight here: The end of third-party cookies will have zero impact on using smartphone (or other location data sets) to measure aggregated movement patterns. 

#4 True or False – Location Data Companies Track Individual People

Top Tier ones don’t. Any location company worth working with reports aggregated movement from 50+ people and obscures their identity. We have invested a significant portion of the nearly $20 million we put into our technology obscuring any location data that could be personally identifiable.

Our panels are built on models based on Areas of Residence (or “AoR”) that obscure any one individual’s data. Even if someone were to spend $50,000+ to license our data and try to reverse engineer it to try to dig out individual MAIDS, it would take them a very, very long time if it’s possible at all. It’s much cheaper and faster to just hire a private investigator or use cameras to scan their license plate at intersections.

#5 True or False – Your IP address is your phone’s social security number

False. This is either clever propaganda or grossly misinformed. Your IP address can be used to find your computer on a network. It can change based on where you go and how you connect. Some information about ads your household views may be tied to it. Or it may be used to tie together two computers that both connect to an IP address (like with a router) But that’s about it. No one could use it to steal your identity.

What can you do with a Social Security Number? Find out (or take) pretty much any financial information about a person. Implying that collecting an IP address is the equivalent of having their Social Security Number is scare-mongering. For the record, the search terms you search for are not tied to your IP address either. At least not by any company we’re aware of.

Certainly there are impending changes for location data. There are changes in store for all personal data. Impression data, location data, transaction data, it’s all changing. And the more things change; the more they stay the same. Change is a constant. The best practice is to work with companies who are ahead of the changes.”
