Air France-KLM Now Owns 20% of SAS: 3 Big Changes to Watch

In a bid to clamp down on overtourism and protect places of interest, popular holiday destinations across Europe and beyond have introduced various forms of a “tourist tax”.

Good morning from Skift. It’s Thursday, August 29, and here’s what you need to know about the business of travel today.

London is in its global hotel brand era: In the last year, it’s added a Raffles, a Peninsula and a second Mandarin Oriental; a Waldorf Astoria, a St. Regis and a Six Senses are on their way.
