Despite the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention saying the best way to protect yourself and others from getting sick is to stay home, more people are starting to travel again during a global health crisis.

Some people are opting to travel by car instead of plane. Others are using Airbnb instead of hotels.

Guests:

  • Kyle Potter is the editor-in-chief of Thrifty Traveler, a digital publication about air travel.

  • Melvin Tennant is the president and CEO of Meet Minneapolis, a convention and visitors association that promotes Minneapolis tourism.

  • Chris Farrell is MPR News’ senior economic contributor.
