06/01/16 – Women Who Travel
LTR’s June showcase, Women Who Travel, recorded May 20 reflects a growing trend in Tour & Travel. It’s a fact, more women are traveling for business and pleasure than ever before both in the U.S. and abroad. We heard from a half-dozen presenters who asserted, however, that traveling solo is the way to go. You’ll hear it from them, June 1-30.
