Predictions for the skyrocketing cost of travel post-pandemic have come true. Plus, we're also paying in flight chaos, delays and luggage delivery frustrations. How long will this last and how will looming economic challenges impact travel? What impact will the reopening of China's borders have on the travel industry?

David Beirman is a tourism crisis and recovery expert, a fellow at University Technology Sydney and author of Tourism Crisis and Destination Recovery. His views have been highly sought after by both local and international media.

Quotes from this episode:

"Travel (has) stopped being an automatic right."

"(Destinations need to) create a value proposition instead of trying to say come to us because we're cheap."

"You're only as good as your last forecast."

-David Beirman
