The Future of World Travel 

In times of crisis and challenge, we ask ourselves: What is the true value of travel? Is it just hedonism...or something more powerful? After a lifetime of exploring Europe — and inspiring Americans to see Europe as the springboard for world exploration — Rick Steves shares his reasons why. 

"I think the value of travel is going to be more important than ever after the COVID-19 pandemic, because going forward in the future, we’re going to realize that this is a small world, and it’s not going to be building walls that makes us happier and safer, it’s going to be about building bridges, and when we travel, we make bridges and that makes our world a better place,” Steves said. “The pandemic can delay our travel plans, but it can’t derail our travel dreams.”

Mr. Steves will offer his insightful opinion on traveling in the post-pandemic world and what this means for the exchange of ideas and cultural perspectives globally.
