This week, I first discuss the latest trending news in the travel industry, including how busy the Fourth of July travel period was, big air travel news, a flying car, and more. 

Later, Shannon Stowell, CEO Adventure Travel Trade Association joins me to share his thoughts about the current state of adventure travel. Stowell provides insights on adventure travel vs. extreme travel, talks about his wildest travel adventures, and shares advice for travelers seeking thrill trips. Additionally, Stowell gives advice to travel advisors who sell in the adventure travel space. 

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