The Folo by Travel Weekly is back with all-new episodes this fall. In this episode, host Rebecca Tobin talks to the Travel Weekly reporting team to get the lowdown on their top, favorite or most fun stories from the past two months, as well as what they're focused on with coverage this fall.
Among the topics: short-term bookings, inbound visitors to the U.S., celebrity (and Celebrity) sailings, Las Vegas' occupancy numbers -- and a few surprises from our team.
Featuring commentary from news editor Johanna Jainchill, retail editor Jamie Biesiada, cruise editor Teri West, tours and river cruise editor Binley Hineman and aviation editor Robert Silk.
This episode was recorded in parts during the week of Sept. 8 and has been edited for length and clarity.
