Travelling is more than just relaxation or adventure - it also raises questions. Should we be ashamed of flying? What solutions are there to combat overtourism, and should popular places perhaps even be closed?

In this episode, find out not only what challenges and changes await the travel industry, but also what new perspectives could shape travelling in the future.
Travelling will remain a central part of many people's lives in the future. At the same time, however, there is a growing awareness of the challenges facing tourism, such as flight shaming, the boom in private accommodation and the problem of overtourism.
