COVID-19 changed the world in a number of massive ways this year, one of them being the way in which the travel industry operates, and those who work within it.

A big part of the tourism industry involves being able to travel, which most of the world cannot do at the moment, or at least are being advised against it. What does the future landscape of travel look like? And those of us who are involved in the travel industry

Jonny Bierman, an expert in destination marketing and sustainable tourism, talks to Mathilda in June, discussing everything from what sustainable travel really means to what an influencer is to him. Influencers, according to Jonny, have a huge responsibility, especially now, to "inspire and educate" through their platforms.
