WEF's tourism rankings a good first effort, but

| Quote: | | Notwithstanding the areas of disagreement, I regard the World Economic Forum's first attempt at assessing competitiveness in the travel and tourism industry as a positive step. Too often our discussions on this issue have relied on anecdotal accounts of experiences by various sources. It is important, however, that greater care be exercised in compiling and analysing the data. |

|
|
Friends with Mexico connections,
One of my clients, the Geneva-based World Economic Forum, is looking for a few native English-speaking freelancer journalists to join me as “summary writers” at its Latin American regional meeting in Cancun in April: http://www.weforum.org/en/events/WorldEconomicForumonLatinAmerica2008/index.htm
Basically you go to a seminar-style session on some newsworthy topic and then write up a one-page summary of what the experts said at wire service speed. For examples from Davos, see: http://www.weforum.org/en/knowledge/Events/2008/index.htm
The folks at the Forum are keen to find people based in Cancun. I told them good luck. As a back-up, they’re willing to look at people based in Mexico City or elsewhere in the country.
Finally, since it always comes up: freelancers who take the Forum gig cannot cover the meeting for media outlets.
