Hello fellow explorers! Dropping by to announce our new project, Write/Peace, has just been accepted by Kickstarter, an online crowdfunding site for creative projects.
An overview of the project >> A specially selected team of writers will work with journalists from around the world to explore and write about important trends in tourism and how these trends impact social and economic lives both locally and globally. Together, they will create a series of long-form, narrative stories that will be published over the course of one year. The aim of these stories is to promote a greater understanding of how the six-trillion-dollar Travel and Tourism industry impacts local societies and the global economy.
Any and all support is greatly appreciated. If you like what you are reading here and want to learn more, please take a moment to review our Kickstarter project page: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1501131842/write-peace
