Travelling through the vortex of change

Travelling through the vortex of change! ✈🌍Watch Full Video:I was honoured to speak at the BTO (Be Travel Onlife) 2021 event this November, where the big focus was ‘Frictionless Travel’. Innovation led growth, digital progression and dramatic changes to real and virtual travel were explored. My speech was centred on many of these elements with a feisty open Q&A session covering everything from my own post covid recent travelling experiences around Asia to the highs and lows of Thomas Cook.Why is this focus on travel through the vortex of change so important?The great Thomas Cook shared that “[Travel] provides food for the mind; it contributes to the strength and enjoyment of the intellect; it helps to pull men out of the mire and pollution of old corrupt customs; it promotes a feeling of universal brotherhood; it accelerates the march of peace, and virtue, and love; - it also contributes to the health of the body, by a relaxation from the toil and the invigoration of the physical powers.”—Thomas Cook (Cook's Excursionist, June 1854)
