This week I first discuss the latest trending news in travel, including ASTA's new blacklist, toxic fumes on planes, and more. 

Later in the show I interview various executives in the Dominican Republic from the recent DR Social Ambassador FAM to learn more about the newest hot spots in the destination. 

Hear from Raquel Reyes, Director of Tourism for the Dominican Republic Tourist Board, Jason Kycek, SVP/Chief Marketing Officer at Casa de Campo, Miriam Hernandez, Director of Sales & Marketing, at W Punta Cana, Laura Santoni, General Manager St. Regis Cap Cana, Mark Fraser, Golf Sales Manager with Puntacana Resorts, and Angel Gonzalez, Director at Scape Park. 

The discussion on the Dominican Republic begins at the 10-minute mark.
