## Categories

- [Game Changers](https://resonate.travel/category/game-changers/) - Focusing on people doing notable tourism-related work, we highlight a need they have identified, the difference they are making, and how they are changing the game in the process. The issues they address may be localised or more global in scope, but regardless of these advocates’ reach, these profiles open a window into their worlds and shine a spotlight on their passion for the causes they champion.
- [Burning Issues](https://resonate.travel/category/burning-issues/) - Here, we address key issues in tourism by outlining the scope, exploring possible solutions, and highlighting measures already being taken. These conversation-starting articles address a range of tourism topics important to responsible travellers: like the climate crisis, accessibility considerations, centring destinations and local voices, or the more ethical, sustainable choices we can all make as visitors.
- [Destination Guide](https://resonate.travel/category/destination-guide/)
- [Travellers' Tales](https://resonate.travel/category/travellers-tales/) - Stories by visitors to a destination, capturing experiences, interactions, and engagement with the place. They might be about learning a new skill from local artisans, going off the beaten track to discover something special, or even just a visit to the weekly market to buy breakfast ingredients. These firsthand tales can only be written by a true visitor who has been there, done that (and may even have bought the t-shirt!).
- [Customs and Traditions](https://resonate.travel/category/travellers-tales/customs-and-traditions/)
- [Food and Drink](https://resonate.travel/category/travellers-tales/food-and-drink/)
- [Local Stories](https://resonate.travel/category/local-stories/) - Personal narratives about place-based experiences, cultural traditions, or daily life told by locals. What’s local? It can mean being born and raised in a destination, or adopting a new home and setting down roots there. Either way, these stories capture something special about a place and transport readers with local sights, sounds, and scents woven into a story that can only be told by the author – the person who knows this place inside and out.
