Saas-Fee, Valais, is a car-free enclave 5,900 ft. above sea level, at the base of Switzerland’s highest mountain, the Dom, which climbs 14,591 ft. Besides that, 13 peaks over 10,000 ft. surround the village known as “The Pearl of the Alps.” It’s a stunning locale for creative minds to share ideas in the pursuit of meaningful work.

Creator Camp hosts retreats for independent internet artists, helping them produce authentic content, instead of simply chasing clicks. The Saas-Fee summit will let participants soak in Switzerland’s Valais region while collaborating and growing as artists. The four-day gathering will conclude with a film screening and creative festival, highlighting the creators’ work.

Claudio Zemp, Director of Switzerland Tourism America, said: “We are thrilled to be able to showcase Saas-Fee and the Valais Matterhorn Region to the Creator Camp family and their followers. Creator Camp’s mission aligns perfectly with Switzerland Tourism’s travel better strategy. We are hosting this event in the fall to showcase the beauty of off-season travel in a breathtaking alpine valley, which has, so far, remained under American tourists’ radar. Not only will we introduce Saas-Fee plus other hidden gems like Nendaz and Veysonnaz, but we will also fully embrace Swisstainable travel on public transport throughout the event.” 

Max Reisinger, Co-Founder of Creator Camp, commented: “This retreat in Saas-Fee represents the pinnacle of our efforts to unite and empower the next generation of storytellers. This isn’t just an event; it’s the spark of a greater movement and shift that we’re going to see across the internet in the next few years.”

This winter, JetBlue will add peak ski season flights from New York and Boston to Bozeman, Montana. The routes will also add the carrier’s Mint service, which includes premium amenities for a luxurious trip. Currently, the airline is the only provider of non-stop Bozeman service from Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), and the additions will more than double available flights.

Before, JetBlue offered twice-weekly flights to Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN) from its Boston and New York hubs. From February 13 to March 30, 2025, that increases to five each, adding Mint service on three. Bozeman is in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, with access to big mountain playgrounds like Big Sky, Bridger Bowl, and more. These new flights make a ski trip more convenient and, with Mint service, more comfortable.

From January through July 2024, Brazil welcomed record tourists, with more than 4 million international visitors making the trip. That represents a 10.4% increase yearly and a 1.9% boost from 2019 pre-pandemic levels. Not only that, but those travelers spent money, adding $4.3 billion to the nation’s economy, almost $1 billion more than the same period in 2023. The successes result from increased flight routes, improvements to tourism infrastructure, and enhanced tourism promotion.

The two organizations, along with the private sector and local governments, focus on specific tourist demographics with data-driven decisions and real-time monitoring. Also, in concert with airlines, there’s been an increase in international flights.

U.S. National Park Foundation receives huge grant to manage overtourism
The funds will go toward mitigaging crowds and conserving wildlife

U.S. National Parks let visitors experience untouched nature and unforgettable surroundings. From Yosemite’s Half Dome to Denali’s 20,310 ft. peak, our more than 420 national parks are a national treasure. However, challenges like overcrowding, rising sea levels, aging infrastructure, changing weather patterns, and varying visitor demographics must be addressed.

To help, the Lilly Endowment just donated $100 million to the National Park Foundation. The grant went toward The Campaign for National Parks, a $1 billion fundraising effort to preserve these special places.
