TravelPulse Podcast: 2026 Summer Travel Outlook

Welcome back to another episode of the TravelPulse Podcast! 

This week, I welcome Adam Duckworth, President and Founder of Travelmation, to first discuss the latest trending news in travel, including a controversial proposal from the Trump Administration, Royal Caribbean being rejected by Mexico, and more. 

Later, Duckworth shares his thoughts on the top trends and surprises he's seeing this summer travel season, as well as how much prices are impacting decisions. Duckworth also provides tips for travel advisors to improve their business and make it their best summer ever. 

The discussion on summer travel begins after the 19-minute mark.
