Dawn Drew

I am a mom and a world traveler. Often the two things don’t mix, but this time they worked out well. Many people know me as a publisher. I spent a lot of time (almost 16 years) at National Geographic as the Vice President + Publisher of Traveler. And if you work at a travel magazine, it is a good idea to become part of the travel industry … so I got moving and joined many of the global organizations that create, support and continue to build the business.

 

In 2009 I left publishing, yet remained in the travel industry. I started a boutique travel consulting firm: MOSTE (it’s an acronym ... and it's the name of a small village in Slovenia). You can’t be employed by Nat Geo for 16 years and not have a mission, so my primary objective is to work with and inside of emerging destinations to build their economies through investment programs and communicate who they are via tangible, cultural marketing initiatives.

 

Recently MOSTE has expanded to include television and film production, destination and infrastructure investment -- all with the endgame of encouraging audiences to travel to the destinations we feature, and provide enhanced visibility of those places.
