This week’s broadcast of Eye on Travel is from the Evermore Resort in Orlando, Florida. Peter has all the travel updates, including the latest fallout from Southwest ending its free checked bags policy and what they are now charging passengers. Then — as predicted — airlines are reducing capacity as demand drops — either cutting flights or downsizing aircraft — and the next development: an almost inevitable rise in airfares… and why this has changed the best time to buy tickets. And what about your eating and nutrition habits when you travel? NBC’s Today Show nutrition and health expert Joy Bauer, on the mistakes so many of us make on the road, and some easy fixes. Then a deeper dive into Orlando with curator Jeremy Hileman from the Orange County Regional History Center — who details the history of Orlando that extends far beyond the iconic theme parks. And Fred Sawyers, Managing Director of the Evermore Orlando Resort, on the unique psychographic design of the resort and the importance of togetherness for families, not to mention Evermore Bay — perhaps the largest resort swimming pool in the world, but whatever you do….don’t call it a pool…try Bay, or Lagoon. That’s how big it is at the — Evermore where they are doing things much differently than other Florida hotels and resorts. There’s all this and more on this week’s Eye on Travel.
