Visit Scotland will close all of its 25 tourist information centres by 2026. This comes as no surprise in an age where tourists expect to plan, organise and book their trips and visits anytime, from anywhere, using digital devices. But destinations that abolish, or want to complement, their physical tourist offices, must embrace a smart digital strategy that allows them to capture and retain the attention of (prospective) visitors, inspire and inform them, allow them to plan and book, and -very importantly- provide them with seamless information, content and experiences when on location. Relevant technology can help achieve all of this. It allows destinations to engage with their visitors in completely new ways, to provide truly comprehensive information, and to learn about visitor trends and preferences through clever data analytics. kompaio https://lnkd.in/eUGU3JkC

My family and I moved back to the US in 2019, after living in Germany for 4 years. I was in the middle of a career transition at the time, as was my wife. We actually wanted to stay in Germany, but the particular set of circumstances that we were over there under made it difficult to stay at that point, so we opted to come back to the US, and figure out things from there. From a purely career standpoint, the transitions have been well worth the effort. We both work for some great companies, and enjoy what we do. But living in another country fundamentally changes you, and many of the other aspects of being back "home" are complex, and not so clear cut. Some of the differences are immediate and obvious. Others take time to percolate in the background, process, and discover. We've been back in the US for 4 years, and we've started becoming aware of those deeper, slow burning perspective shifts that weren't obvious at first. It's not that there aren't problems elsewhere. Germany certainly has issues. But the way in which they face their problems is instructive, and contrasts with some of the ways we face our problems. Especially educational is seeing how other cultures are *structurally* different from ours: different assumptions, different values, different ways of dealing with X or Y. The things that used to be invisible- "just the way things are"- are now quite clearly a cultural point of view. With that as the backdrop, this does a really good job of taking a look at some of those systemic things that we've begun to really notice since being back. https://lnkd.in/eHjCDcH9

The West Australian's opinion piece yesterday (https://lnkd.in/gFqAf9f7) revealed that Australia will be home to 40.5 million people in 2063 with the number of Australians aged over-85 trebling and the number of over-65s doubling over the period, according to the Federal Government's Intergenerational Report due out this week. This surge in aging population numbers over the next 40 years makes it even more critical that we take an in-depth look at the availability of fit-for-purpose housing stock within our property market.

दिया तले अँधेराII This is going on for at least 20 years. Proves, capacity increase does not solve city infra problems. It's max a firefighting step at the behest of investors. - Sensitized Promoters do. Rarely seen. - Distributed development does. Not begun in earnest. - Criminalization of elements (say FSI) via Laws does. In reverse now. - Finally, it happens when productivity pivots, city relegates vis-à-vis another. That's 2-3 lifespans.
