Special Edition – The Future of Travel Featuring Jason Schenker

We have a COBT Special Edition for you this week! We had the pleasure of visiting with a great friend of the firm, Jason Schenker. Jason is Chairman of the Futurist Institute, President of Prestige Economics and a renowned futurist, economist, speaker and author. This special edition is centered around Jason's latest book, "The Future of Travel: Trends and Technologies Shaping the Decade Ahead: The Futurist Institute."

The Future of Travel investigates COVID's effects on travel, leisure and hospitality for the decade ahead. It touches on technology, "revenge travel," activity levels, supply and demand of tourism, and much more. We had a great time discussing the book, the future of business travel, the war for talent, and how travel demand may look over the next year. We kick off with a brief economics discussion on the Employment Situation Summary, which is scheduled to be released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics today, as well as the Consumer Price Index for May, scheduled to be released on June 10th.

Colin, Mike, Matt and I had a lot of fun visiting with Jason and want to thank him for his time. We hope you all have a great weekend and enjoy "The Future of Travel!"
