Description
The UK is reopening, but not transnational families. Visiting friends or relatives abroad is the second most frequent reason for foreign travel. It's about one in four trips out of the UK, twice the volume of business travel. Travel restrictions have reduced these trips to a trickle. For millions who love across borders, spending time together has been impossible for most of the past year. Even illegal. Yet, media coverage of travel restrictions has had a near pathological focus on foreign holidays. This week, we hear the voices of those who wait, still, to reunite. With Arietta Deick, Mary Wooldridge Eligu, Jane Copland and Marion Specker ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ??#LoveIsNotTourismShow notes00:00 Intro04:03 Arietta Deick06:04 Marion Specker07:08 Mary Wooldridge Eligu15:22 Jane Copland20:03 Outro?
