Eye on Travel — The Azores Islands — August 3, 2019

 

This week, Eye on Travel  broadcasts from an amazing archipelago — and the nine westernmost islands of Europe, out in the Atlantic Ocean — the Azores islands. Peter updates on the 737 Max investigation — and as he predicted, the plane may now not fly until the first quarter of next year, or even later. He’ll explain why. He’ll also discuss the lawsuits filed by the Attorney General of Washington D.C. against Marriott, and a similar suit filed by the Attorney General of Nebraska against Hilton — for the same claim — “drip pricing” by hotels and trying to hide their resort fees from consumers.  Journalist Tatiana Ourique on the unique position in history held by the Azores, and Historian Francisco Maduro Dias discusses the surprising role the Azores played in the U.S. Civil War. And here’s another surprise — the real story behind the bullfights in the Azores — and how — and why — they don’t kill the bulls. There’s all this and more as Eye on Travel broadcasts from the Azores.
