Eye on Travel — Hotel Plaza Athenee in Paris — November 27, 2021

Happy Thanksgiving weekend everyone. This week’s broadcast of Eye on Travel comes from the legendary Hotel Plaza Athenee in Paris, along with a quick hop to London as well. We’ll have all the Thanksgiving travel updates. We’ll speak with Francois Delahaye, Chief Operating Officer of the Dorchester Collection, for the latest on true luxury travel in the age of COVID-19. Then, an extended chat with Marc Rochet, the CEO of an airline you may not know, French Bee, on its flights to the U.S. from Paris — and to Tahiti from the U.S., among other fascinating routes. Then Alexander Lobrano, American Expat & Author of Hungry for France and My Place at the Table, with an update on how the city’s culinary palette has changed after the pandemic…for the better. We’ll get a mask update from Catherine Roberts, Health Reporter at Consumer Reports. And Fahd Hamidaddin, CEO of the Saudi Tourism Authority, on the explosion in tourism to his country and how Saudi Arabia is preparing for it. There’s all this and more on this week’s Eye on Travel.
