While world travel can come with numerous benefits to the traveler and the destination, if we all decide to visit the same handful of destinations year after year it can take a big toll on a city.

We also talk about Apple and other tech companies facing lower than expected revenue and take a look at a lawsuit filed this week that aims to overturn laws passed during a recent lame-duck session in the Wisconsin legislature.
