The Future of Travel


Valère Tjolle is the travel and tourism insider. An entrepreneur, consultant, developer and journalist, he has been in at the beginning of almost every tourism development for the last sixty years. He’s lived and worked in Bath for over half a century, building a business in the city, selling out to a global conglomerate, buying it back and going horribly bust then reinventing himself 20 years ago as a tourism writer. His latest work is You Lucky People.’
