A global update on travel and tourism from the WTTC Global Summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

from Eye on Travel with Peter Greenberg · host CBS News

This week's Eye on Travel Podcast with Peter Greenberg -- from The World Travel and Tourism Council Global Summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where 55 separate ministers of tourism, five heads of state, and Fortune 500 CEOs met to discuss one of the largest industries in the world: travel and tourism. Peter sits down with Marriott CEO Tony Capuano for an update on the current state of affairs in hotels. They'll talk about staff shortages, service cuts to expensive hotel room rates across the board, and what people are stealing from hotels. And how do you manage growth in a world of over tourism? A case study: the island of Zanzibar. Peter talks with H.E. Dr Hussein Ali Mwinyi, the President of Zanzibar about the double edged sword of growth and revenue versus protecting the environment. Another fragile destination -- when it comes to dependence on tourism and managing growth: The Bahamas. The country’s Tourism Minister, Chester Cooper, weighs in with the challenges and the promise. And the unforgiving, ticking clock that's either driving change...or preventing it.
