- As economies begin to open up state by state, people may consider traveling again. In our Smarter Traveler segment we ask the question, besides cabin fever, what will get people back on the road, on airplanes, in hotel rooms, into theme parks, movie theaters and ballparks?
- Last week, we talked with our favorite Travel Advisor, **Gwen Duncan**, about how COVID-19 is impacting her business and how she is adjusting. After the interview was over, Tom left the tape running and he thought our audience would enjoy some of our "off the record" thoughts.
- Co-host **Mark Hoffmann**, is the owner of **Sports Leisure Vacations**, the underwriter of **The Travel Guys**. **Tom** talks with **Mark** about being a tour operator in the middle of the greatest global health crisis in a century.
