The Agenda

Travel and tourism was of course one of the sectors devastated by Covid – with figures only now returning to pre-pandemic levels.
But the return to normal has not been without its challenges, with protests across Europe as locals complain about overtourism placing an unnecessary burden on local services and pricing them out of their own homes. So has the way we travel going to change forever? To find out, on this edition of The Agenda, Juliet Mann speaks to Natalia Bayona, Executive Director of UN World Tourism, Pere Joan Femenia Spokesperson for the pressure group Menys Turisme, Mas Vida (Less Tourism, More Life), and Professor Harold Goodwin, Managing Director of the Responsible Tourism Partnership.
