ABSTRACT

There will be days when a good story idea comes to you easily, and there will be other days when an idea will be difficult to generate. Often, writers must develop workable ideas from circumstances, conditions, and surroundings that are important to their publication’s readers. During 2001 and 2002, travel was one of the industries seriously affected by the terrorist attacks on the United States in fall 2001. Security changed. The economy was also changing. Priorities for travel were upended. Travel publications such as Condé Nast Traveler published numerous articles about the new conditions for domestic and international travel after September 11, 2001.
