AI may make human expertise more valuable, wellness could increasingly be about doing less and the travel industry needs to rethink how it talks about ‘authenticity’.

Those were three of the key themes for Sacha Scoging, editor of National Geographic Traveller (UK) — The Collection, who recently travelled to Marrakech, Morocco, to attend Pure Life Experiences, an invitation-only event for travel media professionals.

Sacha joined two exciting media excursions to experience Marrakech beyond its familiar attractions — a tour around local photographer Youssef Bouskri’s gallery and an introduction to Tijout, an ancestral women’s ceremony.
