Why the Future of Travel Matters
We often take travel for granted. We speed off to a relatively unknown destination without contemplating our impact on the people and place. We opt for the fastest option rather than explore the options that enhance our experience.

What if we could make changes today that positive

Questions
What is the future of the visitor information center? How will dead tree (aka print) guidebooks change in the future? How can hospitality be more hospitable? Where are you going on your next local trip (not leaving your city or neighborhood) ? Where are you going on your next outbound trip (leaving your immediate horizon) ? Will airfare be affordable in 10 years? Will travel be faster or slower in the future?

Does the 'wish you were here' postcard have a future? If you had a magic wand, how would travel change? Will future travel be more virtual or physical? [|@packfutur] How do we make travel more future fit?
