So that's it – we're grounded. For the foreseeable future, the only travel we'll be doing is to the supermarket in search of toilet paper. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about the travel bans being imposed around the globe is how quickly they have happened – leaving many of us wondering, is this the end of the travel as we know it?

That's the question I ask my guests: Intrepid Travel co-founder, Geoff Manchester, travel writer Sue Williams, and Flight of Fancy's very own Ben Groundwater, who found himself in the centre of the action during a family holiday in Italy.

We'll be chatting about whether, and when, the travel industry will bounce back; whether Australians are going to change the way we travel; and where we are likely to head to once the planes are flying again.
