This week, I first discuss the latest trending news in the travel industry, including travel prices declining in May, a new requirement for planes by the FAA, and much more. 

Later, I interview Chris Davidson, Executive Vice President of MMGY Travel Intelligence. Davidson gives a glimpse into some of the data that will be revealed the summer edition of the Portrait of the American Traveler next week. He shares insights into what impacts traveler's choices, top summer destinations, and so much much more. 

The discussion on summer travel begins just before the 11-minute mark.
