    Museumification: Destinations want to be removed from UNESCO Worled Heritage List

    Election Day, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and a cruise ship that ran out of money. This week on The Bag Tag, we're exploring how elections can shape the way we travel, from airport security and airline regulations to highways, train networks, and national parks. Then, we're heading to some of the world's most famous destinations that are actually asking to lose their UNESCO World Heritage status. Could being loved by tourists be doing more harm than good? Finally, we're going aboard the Villa Vie Odyssey, a residential cruise ship promising passengers a lifetime of travel. There's just one problem: the company ran out of money, leaving more than 200 residents scrambling to figure out what comes next. Buckle up, Taggies. This one has a little bit of everything.

    Before the Candy: The Surprising History of Halloween | Airbnb's New Cleaning Policy

    McDonald’s Fine Dining Experience Before we put the fries in the bag, we give a lil update on our move to Los Angeles with a mini trip to Laguna Beach then we unpack the new, unique experience from the Golden Arches. McDonald’s is offering a one day experience with Tristen Epps-Long, winner of Top Chef Season 22 and a former McDonald’s crew member. What is the best Monster from the Universal Universe Spooky season is here and we gotta know the best and spookiest Universal monster - mummy, frankenstein, vampire or something else? The Evolution of Halloween Every October, millions of people around the world do something that would have looked absolutely unhinged to our ancestors. We dress up like ghosts, skeletons, witches, vampires, and occasionally a giant inflatable dinosaur. We carve faces into vegetables, decorate our houses to look haunted, and encourage small children to knock on strangers' doors and demand candy under the threat of a vaguely defined trick. And somehow, this is completely normal. But it wasn’t always like that Its origins go back more than 2,000 years to an ancient Celtic festival called Samhain, when people believed the boundary between the living and the dead became a little less secure. Airbnb’s New Controversial Cleaning Policy On Tuesday, Airbnb announced hosts can set only “reasonable” housecleaning duties for guests, with tasks such as dishwashing and bed stripping now the sole responsibility of homeowners. This caused an uproar for hosts and began a much needed debate Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
