As more people are getting vaccinated and counties in California begin to open up, some begin to make travel plans. On today’s Insight, we talk about how to stay safe when traveling amid the pandemic as restrictions are lifted. We also take a look at plans for Sacramento’s Convention Center schedule and possible travel hotspots as we head into the spring and summer.

Today's Guests

  • UC Davis Division of Infectious Diseases Assistant Clinica Professor Dr. Natascha Tuznik is part of the university's Travelers Clinic, which provides medical consultation for those planning international trips. She can speak to the likely evolution of restrictions and trends, plus the current travel can and can't dos — also, the importance of vaccines in all of this.
  • President and CEO of Visit Sacramento Mike Testa as he discusses plans for the new convention center and how the pandemic has affected its schedule.
  • Visit California President and CEO Caroline Beteta shares how important the travel industry is to the state and what it will take to get back to “normal.”
  • Travelzoo Executive Producer and Airline Vertical Lead Lily Fu will discuss the post-vaccination hot travel destinations, status of the market, and how to hunt out the best bargains given the unusual Covid landscape. Also, what does Spring Break look like this year?
