It’s an eternal conundrum in the travel industry – should you (and/or your clients) travel to a place whose government you disapprove of?
I was recently invited to visit Monterey County in California to explore Highway 1, which reopened in February following a three-year closure as a result of landslides.
I was excited by the idea, but also acutely aware that – from concerns about overzealous border staff to ongoing political tensions – the US doesn’t feel like the most inviting destination right now.
My trip, however, was a powerful reminder the US government is not synonymous with the American people.
