Thanks Ann Ruppenstein and Travel Courier for sharing my insights into "Four notable trends shaping the travel industry." I was honoured to share my takeaways from Virtuoso Travel Week in Vegas, and the 4 trends I see as key: #1 Being cool is in! Cold places are bringing the real heat for travellers #2 Expedition cruising is booming #3 Size matters when it comes to cruises #4 There’s a growing interest in Africa beyond the usual South Africa, Kenya, and Tanzania safari circuits—destinations like Uganda, Rwanda, Botswana, and Namibia are gaining popularity.
