Beat Analysis & Pitching Recommendations

1. Focus on Family-Centric Adventure Travel

Rhodes prioritizes stories that help families discover meaningful travel experiences. Pitches should highlight accessible outdoor activities or intergenerational cultural exchanges, such as Indigenous-led tours in regional Australia. Her work often emphasizes educational elements, like her piece on wildlife conservation programs suitable for children[2][7].

2. Coastal and Regional Tourism Innovations

With 85% of her portfolio focusing on coastal destinations[1][5], successful pitches might explore eco-friendly resort developments or community-driven tourism initiatives. Avoid generic beach vacation concepts—she seeks stories with environmental stewardship angles or unique local partnerships.

3. Photography-Driven Cultural Narratives

As an accomplished photographer[5], Rhodes gravitates toward visually rich stories. Pitches should include strong visual potential, whether documenting traditional craftspeople or capturing landscape transformations due to climate initiatives.
