  • 17: Sustainability: The Hard Truth with Lucy Siegle
    Feb 20 2020
    Thank you for listening to our joint episode with The Big Travel Podcast!

    We are no strangers to the term “sustainability”. Over the past decade, being environmentally conscious has been trending and rightly so- it’s time to make a change. So how can we be more responsible when it comes to travelling? In this episode, we are joined by Lucy Siegle, esteemed journalist and climate change campaigner, discussing carbon emissions and potential “greenwashing”.   The travel industry is undoubtedly a high-level contributor to climate change, so we’re taking the bull by the horns and asking, “What can we do differently?” Whilst there’s no quick fix, there are definitely things we can do for damage limitation, while the industry continues to strive for cleaner and more efficient ways to travel.   At WTM, we understand the urgency and are keen to look into how we can support companies to deliver more responsible ways to travel. If this is something you are interested in, please get in touch or take a look at our Responsible Tourism sector for more information. Thank you to Lucy for this incredibly candid interview, and we look forward to hearing your feedback. Don’t forget to rate, review and subscribe!   WTM Website: https://bit.ly/2uXmpaE

  • 16: 2019: A Turbulent Year in Travel
    Dec 9 2019
    Travel has seen its fair share of ups and downs this year, from the collapse of big travel businesses such as Super Break and, more recently Thomas Cook, to the success felt by Sri Lanka after their national airline reopened their global routes. We are joined by Antonia Stratford, Head of Public Affairs at UKinbound, and Kelly Cookes, Leisure Director for Advantage Travel, to discuss their insights on travel trends from 2019 and how they are impacting the industry.   With a report from Visit Britain revealing that 30% of inbound tourists will travel to the UK for a famous filming location, and a higher demand for ‘classic British cuisine’, new travel trends are starting to emerge. With the uncertain political climate and a need for innovation in terms of sustainability, it is more important than ever for businesses to adapt and evolve and this is something we have seen throughout the year. You can find a recent industry report from UKinbound on the impact of Brexit and new immigration policy on tourism here.   This is our last episode of 2019- it has been a pleasure and we look forward to releasing our new episodes in 2020. Have a wonderful Christmas!
