Beyond the Noise examines some of the biggest communications and PR issues. Download the podcast via Apple , Spotify , or listen on your favourite platform. There has been a spate of high-level departures from generalist PR consultancies with travel divisions, and some new start-ups such as Ugo’s Palma & Partners, which means the face of classic travel comms now looks different.  Why is it that only specialist travel consultancies such as The PC Agency and luxury hospitality specialists such as Bacchus or Perowne International seem to thriving in this new environment?
