Our reporters predict 2025 trends -- part 1

Welcome to our annual Preview episode, where we gaze into our crystal ball and draw on interviews with expert sources to talk about what we’ll be seeing in the next 12 months, travel-wise.  In this episode we examine the overall health of the business, changes in the luxury sector and what might happen on the aviation-regulatory-merger front, especially with the Trump administration set to enter. Featuring: Host Rebecca Tobin and four of Travel Weekly’s senior editors: Jamie Biesiada, who covers retail; Andrea Zelinski, who covers cruise; Robert Silk, who covers aviation; and Christina Jelski, who covers hospitality.  This conversation was recorded Dec. 13, 2024, so a note of caution: At some points in this conversation we make reference to “this year” and “next year” which can be stand-in terms for 2024 and 2025, depending on the context.
