Alex Sharpe, President and CEO of Signature Travel Network, on the new focus on the off-season and thinking outside the box.

Dr. Michael Cheng, Dean and Professor at the Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management, talks about the evolution of traveling with a purpose and looking for a deeper meaning by doing an immersive trip into a destination rather than just going for the sake of traveling.
