He's focused on non-frum travelers retirees, cruisers, yacht, sailors...

I know this might tinkle some feathers but I would not be surprised if some Shluchim feel that they do not want to promote the concept of vacation.
The idea of vacation to many in Lubavitchers is looked as not a proper thing to do. I am sure many other communities have similar value system.

I'd be shocked if this represents more than 2% of shluchim. I don't even think it's half of that.

Far more likely they don't want frum people in their Chabad Houses scaring off the locals. This is a contentious argument among shluchim, with some encouraging frum people to come to their events/minyanim and others making it clear that frum people are not welcome. Of course that has to do with what they feel their mission is and how they feel is the best way attain that goal.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

And years of personal experience in the matter as well. Likely seeing events both ways.

- On Sukkos, carry around a sleeping bag and pillow and ask if they have slept in the sukkah yet.

New podcast episode about Chabad and frum travelers https://open.spotify.com/episode/03BLvyXxSjqmJsFmGeYSuJ?si=w4fqXlFjSHqmJZtHgyuZyA&utm_source=copy-link&nd=1

FTFY? An entirely new podcast dedicated to the topic sounded like overkill to me.

Heads up before Pesach program season rolls around.
Writing from a very OOT community. A wealthy SY family ($25m wedding in Italy wealthy) just visited for a week making the shluchim and baalabatim crazy with demands for 3x/day minyan only at their hotel (not the Chabad house) where we struggle to get minyan on Shabbos. Father was in aveilus and traveled against his own Hakham's advice.
Sach Hakol, the family promised the shluchim the sun, the moon and the stars. You can guess how much they actually donated. Shluchim and the baalabatim they had to round up for this family's minyanim are naturally destroyed not so much by the money but complete lack of hakarat hatov.
Where are these people learning their middos?
