Solo Travel, Shutdowns and Strange Destinations

This week on Checked Bags and Big Tags, we're unpacking a world of travel change — from personal journeys to political shake-ups. First, we'll explore the growing popularity of solo travel and how Riviera River Cruises is launching a ship designed just for independent travelers. Then, we'll break down how the U.S. government shutdown could affect your travel plans, and what to expect from Europe's brand-new Entry/Exit System that will fingerprint and photograph non-EU visitors starting this month. Finally, we'll look at one of the most surprising travel stories of the year: Kim Jong Un's new "world-class" beach resort in North Korea — a tourism push with a very limited guest list.   Ilisa Oman [email protected] www.oneworldfamilytravel.com   Sean Mouttet [email protected] www.gallivantluxurytravel.com   FInd us on Facebook!   Do you have any travel questions or topics you want us to cover?
