"When you look at sustainable travel, it is like a niche; but actually, for travel to exist a few hundred years from now, all travel has to be more sustainable."In this final conversation of season two, Christine is joined by Beth Santos, the founder of Wanderful, a travel community for women and women-identifying travelers.  It is the perfect way to wrap up this season as it is full of valuable information about where travel is headed in the future.  They talk about how travel needs to be more sustainable and inclusive, its power to shift world views, and break down commonly-held beliefs about niche markets in the industry. Finally, they consider how micro-influencers are poised to create movements within the industry and will likely be a vital part of the return to travel following the closures related to the Covid pandemic.  Christine and Beth are passionate about the good travel has to offer the world and are dedicated to bringing women together to share these experiences.  You'll enjoy their insight and their connection.
