EP113帶團這檔事兒之20年後再訪紐約波士頓

Recent unrest in Europe raises concerns for travelers planning trips to the region. The ongoing protests and violence, particularly in countries like France, Italy, and Spain, have created a climate of fear. Many potential tourists are reconsidering their travel plans, especially with the holiday season approaching. The host notes that while protests are not uncommon in Europe, the current situation feels particularly volatile, with fears of violence and civil unrest impacting the travel industry.

The discussion highlights the origins of the protests, which began in France due to government budget cuts affecting education, leading to widespread discontent among students and lower-income citizens. As protests escalated into riots, the host expresses concern over the potential for these movements to evolve into more dangerous forms of civil unrest, including possible racial tensions targeting local communities.

Shifting focus, the host shares personal experiences from a recent tour in the United States, specifically in New York and Boston. Reflecting on the differences between past and present visits, the host notes a sense of disappointment with the current state of American cities, particularly in terms of hotel quality and dining experiences. The host emphasizes the importance of preparation and research for successful travel, especially when leading groups, and concludes with a hopeful message for European stability and a return to normalcy.

20 年前凜兌我和同學去紐約自助遊 20 年後我當領隊帶團再次踏上紐約 不得不說～命運就是如此的神奇 畢竟當時的我從沒想過進旅遊業

20年來紐約似乎沒什麼太大的變化 但凜兌我已不再是那20歲的少年了

紐約市的繁榮活力已經不再吸引我 反倒是給我帶來一種煩雜的排斥感 是因為在工作還是心態不再年輕 唉～其實不是那麼想要追根究底
