Travel is back. After an unprecedented hiatus, we are once again becoming a nation of tourists.

But what has changed?

Have we grown to better appreciate the act of tourism, the act of connection with a new land or a new culture and the act of escaping one's everyday life?

Are we looking for travel that offers a rich experience and facilitates a deep connection between guest and host?

Today, I'm stoked to welcome Mike Willie, owner of Sea Wolf Adventures on Vancouver Island, and Brenda Baptiste, chair of Indigenous Tourism BC, to the podcast.

Let's hear what they have to say on the matter.
