Check-In Episode 34: How The Travel Industry Can Change Lives

Episode 34

Tuesday, July 25, 2023 • Duration 28:39

So many talk about the travel industry because of its ability to improve lives. Travel broadens horizons, exposing individuals to diverse cultures, traditions, and perspectives, fostering a greater understanding and appreciation for what else is out here, and giving families and friends the time and experiences they need but it can also change the lives of others.

Last month, as part of TMR’s Travel Market Place conference in Toronto, editor-in-chief and vice president Daniel McCarthy was joined onstage by Max and Viktoriia Shkurupii and Cathy Scott of British Colombia’s Departures Travel, to talk about a story of how the industry can change lives.

Hear their story, about an escape from war-torn Ukraine and new lives in Canada, on this episode of Check-In.
