This week, I welcome two guests: Rebecca Tobin, Managing Editor for Travel Weekly and Jamie Biesiada, Senior Editor for Travel Weekly. 

Together, we first discuss the latest trending news in the travel industry, including Delta's response to AI pricing practices, dress codes on cruises and more. 

Later, Robin and Biesiada share insights into the 2025 Power List. Tune in to hear who came out on top, what the biggest takeaways are, and so much more. The origins of the list date back to 1992, and it's quite interesting to see where some of those top agencies are today.

The discussion on the power list begins after the 16-minute mark.  

You can learn more about this year's biggest riser on the power list on Travel Weekly's Folo podcast here.
