Mary McKenna is the Founder and CEO of Irish travel company, Tour America. She has witnessed her industry undergo seismic change since she closed the doors on her physical office on 18 March and moved all their business online. She told Sonya Lennon, host of The Architects of Business, made in partnership with EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™, about how she wrote off 2020 very early on but is now focussed on breaking even in 2021, before seeing a travel boom in 2022. But one of her biggest fears for her business is who will be sitting in the White House next year. "Sonya Lennon: I suppose we cannot not address the fact that the name of the company is Tour America. And America is in a very fragile state at the moment.
