Eye on Travel – Kingsport, Tennessee – November 9, 2024 – Peter Greenberg Travel Detective

This week’s broadcast of Eye on Travel is from Kingsport, Tennessee. Peter has all the post-election travel updates. Plus, what can get you thrown off a plane? Some interesting reasons that go beyond drunk and disorderly conduct. Then, Arnie Weissmann, Editor-in-Chief of Travel Weekly, talks about the difference between a country’s “carrying capacity” and “welcoming capacity” for visitors, and what recent measures against overtourism look like. We take a deep dive into Kingsport, with historian Dr. Carroll Van West, and stories, from the river the town grew from to the industry that put it on the map. Brenda Barnicki joins Peter to talk about Bellafina, a most unusual chocolate company and the impact it has on children’s charities around the world. And let’s not forget baseball and the Kingsport Axmen. There’s all this and more on this week’s Eye on Travel.
