25.08.2023 - 14:28 / skift.com / Latin America / Tom Lowry / Airlines
Every year we give you a glimpse into how our favorite stories evolved from idea to publication, offered by the reporters and editors themselves.
As you will see, our work was far-ranging in 2022 and not obsessively focused on pandemic fallout as it had been in prior years. I am always incredibly grateful to work with this team day in and day out. Showcasing some its best work, once again, is a highlight of the year.
Please take a look, and we hope you find that our favorites are yours, too.
Puerto Rico Offers These Lessons for Global Tourism
The Backstory: My Skift Take for this story summed it up. “Puerto Rico tourism, bolstered by Airbnb when hotels were shut, has had a noteworthy comeback. But if travel and living have blended, then the island’s fiscal and political woes can’t be overlooked.”
This was my favorite story of the year to write — and it was a very important one, too — because it wasn’t just about “travel,” but dealt with the impact of Airbnb, tourism, U.S. colonialism, and unfettered development on the island’s people.

With an an acute housing shortage in Puerto Rico and soaring rental prices, I sadly informed them that no, the other apartments in the home are Airbnbs. (No, I’m not the host.)
The story has lots of real reporting, which I love doing, and holds tourism and other officials to account. That’s our job as journalists, after all.
Istan-Bullish
The Backstory: Each quarter, I review all available airline financial statements, paying particular attention to operating margins. I was naturally impressed at how well Turkish Airlines performed this summer. Not only did the company earn an extraordinary profit. It did so while growing aggressively. How did Turkish manage to pull this off?
My investigation led me to interesting and unexpected discoveries, like how Istanbul was benefitting from operational difficulties at other European airports, and from a jump in traffic from Russia. The story was no less interesting on the cost side, with Turkish Airlines managing to avoid some of the cost problems afflicting other carriers in 2022. With each passing year, Turkish
