British travellers advised to prepare ‘evacuation grab bags’ during holidays

With wildfires causing disruption across Europe, this week’s episode focuses on your essential rights if your holiday destination becomes a disaster zone. Simon and Greg break down what you can do if travel plans are affected and share crucial evacuation advice from the British Red Cross to ensure you are prepared.

Elsewhere in the news this week, the anti-tourism protests in Mallorca. Are the protesters' concerns valid, and should you be worried if you have a trip booked this summer?

And we take a deep dive into the Unesco World Heritage List. What is the impact of "museumification" on these sites, and are some of the new additions - from yodelling to bagpiping - actually necessary?

As always, Simon and Greg answer your pressing travel questions, including a recommendation for a quieter side of Corfu. Plus, we highlight the exciting new Eurostar connection to Antwerp.
