Eye on Travel – Carlton Cannes – August 5, 2023

This week’s broadcast of Eye on Travel is from the iconic queen of the French Riviera — the Carlton hotel in Cannes, France. Peter has all the latest travel updates — are the high airline fares and hotel rates sustainable? And what’s continuing to cause airline meltdowns? Jack Ezon, Founder of Embark Beyond, on his love affair with the Carlton, and his report on the current American invasion of Europe and when he thinks airfare prices may finally come down. Henry Grabar, Author of Paved Paradise: How Parking Explains the World, discusses the little known but powerful impact of parking on our everyday lives. And Carlo Stragiotto, General Manager of the Carlton, explains the history of Cannes, the enduring influence of the famous film festival, and how the city remains a luxury playground. There’s all this and more on this week’s Eye on Travel.
