One big question for North America travel is: how strong travel demand will be for the FIFA World Cup, which kicks off in just a few weeks. This year the matches are being played in cities throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico, and at the beginning of the year expectations among destination marketing organizations and hotels was very high -- and then it seemed to taper off a bit. In this episode we’re talking with editor in chief Johanna Jainchill and Eric Hanson, the senior vice president and head of government relations at U.S.’ prime travel advocacy organization, the U.S. Travel Association, about some of the issues facing inbound U.S. travel. Among our subjects: The unique attributes of World Cup travel, the calls for travel boycotts, perception versus reality when it comes to U.S. travel and the importance of getting Brand USA back on its funding feet.

You'll hear behind-the-scenes stories about on-air mishaps, creative brainstorming, and how they turn everyday moments into radio gold. Plus, we get real about leadership, self-growth, and the power of showing up for your audience (even when you haven't had your coffee yet).
