Hi
I'm looking for stats and quotes for a Nat Geo report on the role of AI in shaping the future of luxury travel.
I'm specifically looking to answer the following:
- How is AI already being used in luxury travel?
- What are some surprising or lesser-known ways AI is being used in luxury travel?
- What are the ethical considerations / limitations of AI in luxury travel given it's so much about the human/service element?
- Will AI make luxury travel more sustainable? Or less so if it replaces jobs?
- What role will AI play in future travel planning? / How will it shape travel in the next 10 years? What won't change?
- What are the best AI sources for travel?
It's for print so no links are included. Please only respond if you're relevant to this space.

I am writing a feature for National Geographic on the science of awe: how it affects the body and brain, and how people can add more of it into their daily lives.
I am looking for psychologists, neuroscientists, public health researchers, and related experts who can speak to:
The physiological and psychological effects of awe (stress, inflammation, mood, vagus nerve activity, etc.)
How awe can be experienced in everyday life, especially in nature, art, or human connection
Practical, evidence-based ways readers can build awe into daily routines
Responses should be science-based and accessible for a general audience. Email-only interviews preferred. My deadline for responses is Friday, September 12.
I'm looking for real women (not experts) who can share their experiences with painful or uncomfortable in-office gynecologic procedures such as insertion of an IUD, a colposcopy, or an endometrial biopsy. I'd like to hear about how the procedure felt and how it affected you afterwards, whether the gyn accurately described what you were likely to feel, and whether any pain meds were offered. Also, how did this experience affect how you advocated for yourself and approached gynecologic care in the future? Must be willing to use your real name, age, location, and other identifying characteristics.
