In this episode, I react to some news stories in local and global travel including this week's trending story of complaints about airport staff at Entebbe International Airport. I also react to the news of Uganda being declared Ebola-free, half of Africa's rhinos thriving under private ownership; the sticky story of Tanzania's Maasai population being forced out of their ancestral home in the Serengeti-Ngorongoro conservation region as well as CNN's spotlight on Uganda as one of the top 2023 destinations for travelers.  In the second half of the podcast, I break down 15 trends in travel and conservation to look out for this year including the return of the Chinese traveler, the growing number of digital nomads, and why DR Congo's most famous national park is betting big on crypto.  Watch the Eastern Uganda reel here https://t.co/c4zGRLuHut -------------------- Connect with me EMAIL: [email protected] | [email protected] LINK TREE: https://linktr.ee/ahajonathan PATREON: Join my Patreon and make a monthly pledge to support the creative work that goes into producing this show and several other content avenues https://bit.ly/3CcZTdt
