Roundup Interview with Adventure Travel Industry Leaders

In March 2020 at the beginning of the lockdown, Kit interviewed three industry leaders to find out what was happening on the ground, how they were dealing with the crisis, and what advice they would give us adventure travelers.

Today's show is a follow up three months later to see what they've learned, what they expect we will see for the next twelve months onward, and advice for travel in the future.
