September 5th - Today is National Travel Agent Day – and here's a top travel figure on a mission

from Simon Calder's Independent Travel Podcast

5 September is the day to celebrate travel professionals, and therefore a good day to hear from Julia Lo Bue-Said OBE, chief executive of the Advantage Travel Partnership. She believes school holidays need to be transformed so that they better meet the needs of families – and wants to start a national conversation on cutting the summer break to a month, with extra weeks added in May and October.This podcast is free, as is Independent Travel's weekly newsletter.
