This week I'm joined by Adam Duckworth, President and Founder of Travelmation, to first discuss the latest trending news in the travel industry, including Barcelona's plan to ban short-term rentals, Netflix's new entertainment venues, and much more.  Later, Duckworth and I dive into the top travel trends for this summer season. Duckworth shares which destinations have been booking hot, what's impacting travelers' decision-making, and how to navigate last-minute summer travel trips.  The discussion on summer travel begins before the 20-minute mark.  Today’s episode sponsor: Globus family of brands  Do you have clients asking you about guided touring in exciting destinations?
