Travel Briefing: Uneasy Economies
Today’s travel briefing highlights economies that are running out of control. In Zimbabwe, Monocle’s journalists pose as tourists to report on the country’s troubled economy. Then in other news, US travelers face surcharges and hidden fees from airlines to balance out the devaluation of the US dollar.
We found the Monocle report especially interesting. As pictured above, the city’s infrastructure appears to be fine, however a deeper look reveals something very different. Zimbabwe has banned journalists from reporting on the country’s pending economic collapse. With inflation running out of control, food and fuel dwindling, and no plan for repair – the country is facing crisis.
