On this episode of Destination on the Left, I'm talking with eight industry professionals at OMCA Marketplace, held in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. These conversations emphasize the evolving nature of the travel industry driven by changes in traveler expectations, strategic international cooperation, and a strong focus on quality and convenience. In this episode, you'll hear from these travel industry professionals: Jeffrey Goldwasser: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffrey-goldwasser-36264711/ Brittany Dykla: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brittany-dykla-cpa-7a50b036/ Jennifer Miller: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifernealmiller/ Karine Boudreau: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karine-boudreau-722355205/ Marcy Barnes: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcy-barnes-8b98092b/ Mary Ellen Hudson: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-ellen-hudson-4807071b/ Ray DeNure: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ray-denure-7852805b/ Ben Rome: https://www.linkedin.com/in/benhrome/ Jeffrey Goldwasser – Sales Representative For Amaya Seating Jeffrey reflects on how many industry shows he attends each year and underscores the importance of networking outside the booths, such as in elevators, meals, or after-parties, where meaningful connections often occur. He also talks about supporting the “Women in Buses” initiative under the ABA, recognizing women's critical role in the bus industry. Jeffrey describes the OMCA Marketplace as “evolving,” appreciating the opportunity to meet new people and establish future business connections. Brittany Dykla – CFO Of Brilliant Edventures Brittany discusses the integral role of collaboration in tourism, which distinguishes it from other sectors where collaboration often requires additional encouragement. She notes the importance of leveraging the current travel boom for long-term growth through immersive, storytelling-driven experiences that feel exclusive to the group and resonate with younger generations. She loves the OMCA Marketplace, praising its collaborative, productive atmosphere! Jennifer Miller – Manager, Domestic Tourism From Visit Detroit We discuss the vibrant tourism offerings available in Metropolitan Detroit that help visitors enjoy the city's rich history and fun distillery scene. She highlights valuable cross-border collaborations with Windsor, Ontario, such as the Detroit Grand Prix and the Freedom Festival fireworks. Jennifer describes the OMCA Marketplace as “comfortable” with effective networking opportunities that help build valuable industry relationships. Karine Boudreau – Sales And Marketing Coordinator From Destination Moncton Dieppa Karine describes her first time attending the OMCA Marketplace as welcoming and says it's an excellent opportunity to make new contacts. She shares the increasing popularity of real-life experiences that revolve around food, leisure activities, and spending time outdoors such as the enchanted night walk that depicts the Acadian culture in the best possible way. Marcy Barnes – Market Development Specialist From Tourism New Brunswick Marcy identifies sustainability as a growing trend in the tour and travel sector for 2025, which includes practices like using reusable water bottles and alternative transportation methods. She mentions the advantage of taking longer trips to improve sustainability, reducing the need for multiple short flights throughout the year. Marcy uses a gardening analogy to emphasize the importance of relationship building at events like OMCA, comparing initial meetings to planting seeds and subsequent interactions to nurturing a relationship. Mary Ellen Hudson – Travel Trade From Fredericton Capital Region Tourism Mary Ellen highlights the growing interest in astrotourism, following significant astronomical events like the total eclipse observed in Fredericton. She mentions partnerships with the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada to promote events such as star-watching and telescope observations, which cater to this upcoming trend. She describes the OMCA Marketplace as “fun,” leaning into the energetic and social nature of the travel industry event. Ray DeNure – Owner From DeNure Tours Ray discusses taking a long-term view of the industry, understanding the broader context, and integrating forward-looking strategies to sustain and grow the business while accommodating shifting travel behaviors and preferences. He emphasizes events like the OMCA Marketplace's positive role in making business connections and creating informal networking opportunities in social settings. Ben Rome – Director Of Communications And Brand From American Bus Association We discuss the resurgence of travel bookings and the increased numbers of solo travel and single-family travel. People now seem to be open to traveling to international destinations right now too, whereas over the past couple of years travel has mostly been land-based domestic travel. Ben also shares his experience of experiential travel demand and why younger people, particularly, are drawn to immersive travel as they want to be part of the story.

Tired of long lines at immigration or security when traveling? We've got you covered! In this episode, the Travel Mom Squad revisits a favorite topic—Global Entry and TSA PreCheck®—but with a twist. While we've covered these programs before, there are important updates you need to know to make family travel even smoother. Whether you're flying internationally or just looking to breeze through airport security, these tips are a game-changer. New Updates You Can't Miss Since our last discussion on this topic, a major update now allows kids under 18 to get Global Entry for free if their parent or guardian is enrolled. Jess highlights how this policy change can save families hundreds of dollars—especially for large families like Alex's. And if you've ever been frustrated by long wait times for Global Entry interviews, Alex shares how her family took advantage of the new interview-on-arrival option, skipping the months-long backlog to get everyone approved quickly. Jess also mentions that some airports, like San Francisco, are testing departure-day interviews, which could make the process even easier. How to Get It for Free Using Credit Cards Alex dives into the details of credit cards that reimburse Global Entry and TSA PreCheck® application fees. Popular options like the Chase Sapphire Reserve, Capital One Venture, and Amex Platinum cards make it easy to offset the costs. One pro tip: You can use the benefit on someone else's application by paying with your card, so you can help friends and family members enroll too. Between these credits and the new kids-under-18 policy, Global Entry has never been more accessible. Backup Options for Occasional Travelers If you're not ready to commit to Global Entry, Pam suggests Mobile Passport as an alternative. This app offers a shorter immigration line without the application process or fees. While it's not as fast as Global Entry, it's a great backup for infrequent international travelers. The Key to Stress-Free Family Travel Between Global Entry, TSA PreCheck®, and Mobile Passport, there's no reason to deal with long lines at the airport. As Jess says, “Travel days are stressful enough—why not make them as easy as possible?” If you've been putting off enrolling in these programs, this episode is your sign to get started. Tune in now to hear all the details and updates that will make your next family trip a breeze!

In this episode, Kimberly and Tommaso share their recent adventures across Italy, detailing a captivating journey from the bustling streets of Rome to the serene landscapes of Tuscany. Their four-day Roman escapade was filled with the vibrant life of local cafes, a private tour of the Colosseum, and a culinary exploration of diverse restaurants. They also discovered a newfound appreciation for the Negroni cocktail, trying different versions at Roman cocktail bars. The second stop on their road trip included a stay in a historic palazzo, where they relished in having it to themselves. As part of Kimberly's goal to provide clients with unique and reliable recommendations, they stay at these accommodations for confirmation. Their road trip will continue north with a longer stay in the Dolomites. Travel insights from the hosts emphasize the convenience of direct flights to major Italian cities like Rome, Milan, or Napoli. They praised the renovated Delta Lounge at Boston Logan Airport for its improvements. In Rome, they noted the ongoing restoration of many sculptures and buildings in preparation for the upcoming Jubilee, and observed the lively yet unfinished setup of Christmas markets in Piazza Navona, accompanied by festive music in shops. A noteworthy update includes the Pantheon's new entrance fee, which has improved visitor flow, while construction around the Trevi Fountain with it's new elevated walkway is yet to be finished. A Vespa ride through Roman traffic added an exciting twist to their experience. Logistical reflections included the strategic decision to rent a car on the outskirts of Rome to avoid city traffic and potential fines proved to be a good move. Looking forward, Kimberly and Tommaso promise more updates from their continued travels on the road in bel'italia. Follow us on Social Media Instagram

Seashells on the seashore are being taken in large quantities and it's increasing erosion along beaches. A new study reveals the tourism industry is taking too many seashells along coastlines in Costa Rica. In this episode of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast, host Andrew Lewin discusses the environmental impact of taking seashells from coastal areas, particularly in Costa Rica. He highlights a growing crisis where the removal of seashells, driven by tourism, destabilizes beaches, accelerates erosion, and harms marine ecosystems. Seashells are essential for various marine species, including hermit crabs, and play a crucial role in maintaining coral reefs and nutrient cycles. Lewin shares a personal anecdote about a conversation with a friend who chooses not to engage in activities that could negatively impact local environments while traveling. This perspective emphasizes the importance of considering the local ecosystem and communities when visiting new places. The episode reveals that in 2023 alone, authorities seized over five tons of seashells, complicating conservation efforts due to difficulties in tracing their origins. Innovative solutions, such as using AI technology to classify and return confiscated shells to their natural environments, are being developed to address this issue. The podcast urges tourists to leave wildlife and natural resources, like seashells, untouched, promoting sustainable tourism practices. Lewin encourages listeners to appreciate the beauty of these natural elements without taking them home, reinforcing the idea that every species plays a vital role in ecological balance for future generations.

Hear about travel to Central China as the Amateur Traveler talks to Larry Fan, who was born in the city of Zhengzhou and recently returned to explore his birth country. Why should you go to Central China? Larry says, ” “I think it's particularly special because it's considered the cradle of Chinese civilization. Xi'an was the first imperial capital of China. Zhengzhou also happened to be one of the first capitals of the Shang dynasty. Kaifeng and Luoyang, which are two other cities I'll talk about, had also served as capitals of China during various times. It's a very influential area for Chinese civilization and often not as much talked about versus places like Beijing, Shanghai. Etc. ” Larry recommends a 7-10 day itinerary for visiting central China, covering historical and cultural highlights in Henan Province and Xi'an. Here's the detailed breakdown of his suggested itinerary: Days 1-2: Zhengzhou (Capital of Henan Province) Day 1: Zhengzhou City Tour Henan Museum Spend 2-3 hours learning about the region's history from the Shang to Tang dynasties. Guancheng Muslim District Visit the Beidajie Mosque (North Big Mosque), a Yuan dynasty mosque with Chinese architectural influences. Try local food like Xi'an torn bread with lamb soup (羊肉泡饃). Shang Dynasty Relic Park Explore ruins of the Shang Dynasty's capital, including city walls over 3,000 years old. People's Park Relax in the park and experience local activities like dancing and exercise.

We chat with Lenore Weiss about her novel, Pulp into Paper, which “is about the struggle of Arkansas and Louisiana mill workers to tell the truth about what is happening in their work and personal lives. The book mirrors the choices we make between earning a living and our ethical values, but is sympathetic to all characters on either side of the environmental divide.” Pulp into Paper is an engaging, disturbing and sometimes humorous novel exposing a calcified network of corruption between a company (Rand-Atlantic) and the government (EPA) in a small Southern town where "the stink [is] the smell of money." Weiss's talent for detail is extraordinary as she takes us into the homes, sandwich shops and hydrogen-sulfide infested creeks of East Hentsbury with its unforgettable cast of characters." (Campbell). Lenore Weiss is enrolled in the Master of Fine Arts Program at San Francisco State University. Her poetry has been published in many journals Her books include Cutting Down the Last Tree on Easter Island (West End Press, 2012) , Two Places (Kelsay Books, 2014), and Mortal forthcoming in 2016 from Black Cat Moon Press.
