Last year saw a boom in travel as destinations reopened worldwide. But as that excitement has cooled and prices have risen, travelers of all types — leisure, corporate, meetings and more — are making their purchases with greater discernment. In this episode of Travel Talk, thought leaders from across Northstar Travel Group share what factors are shaping travelers’ choices and how the travel industry is responding.

Travel Weekly Managing Editor Rebecca Tobin discusses how the high price of airfare and accommodations are making a trip’s value proposition increasingly critical, and how travel advisors’ role has shifted from navigating changing restrictions to defining the benefits of a given trip. She discusses these trends and others with Northstar thought leaders including:
