Entertainment travel is back! We’re talking about the travel advisors who book travel and accommodations for folks in the entertainment business. Our hospitality editor Christina Jelski has just written a cover story about the bounceback in this business, and today we’re talking about why so many production crews are on the road, and the types of precautions they need to take to keep the crew and cast safe filming. 

We’ve brought in two Los Angeles-based travel advisors, Adam Ottmar, director of special events for Altour’s Altour Entertainment and EnterTravel divisions, and Courtney Norris, owner of Beverly Hills-based Bespoke Travel and an affiliate with Internova Travel Group’s Global Travel Collection, to talk about bubble travel and hotel buyouts, Covid compliance officers and more.

This episode was recorded Thursday June 3 and has been edited for length and clarity and to group conversational themes together.
