For nearly a century, the way people travelled the world didn’t change much. And then came COVID-19. Now, Erika Van Noort feels strange leaving her house at all. 

In this episode, Erika sets out to understand the ever-present relationship between travel and technology and what is top of mind for travelers, industry leaders and travel bloggers alike. 

In a featured interview, Erika meets up with Derek Marshall, Chief Technology Officer at TripStack, a B2B travel technology company. They talk about the future of the industry and how big data, AI, digital transformation, and next-generation customer experiences are at the forefront of getting travel back off the ground.
