With so many questions surrounding coronavirus and its implications for the industry, on this episode we have used the audio from a recent Facebook Live Q&A we held here in our offices with Abta’s director of legal affairs Simon Bunce, Kuoni senior sales and operations manager Brad Bennetts and Travlaw senior partner Matt Gatenby. The video proved hugely popular and we received dozens of questions from our readers, so we thought it would be useful to broadcast through another medium to make sure even more of you can access the advice from our expert panel. The session was moderated by our editor in chief, Lucy Huxley.

As part of our 50th anniversary celebrations we go back in time and speak to another former Travel Weekly editor, this time Jeff Mills who was at the helm in 1989-1996. Although a relatively stable period, the years preceding it were not.
