Sandi Toksvig talks to Loyd Grossman about tourism at Cambodian temples and to Dr Jane Hamilton and journalist Michael Howard about Kurdistan as a holiday destination.

Sandi Toksvig asks broadcaster Loyd Grossman about his trip to Cambodia where he saw two very different approaches to managing visitors to the ancient temples: at a relatively unknown one, deep in the jungle, the local people are trying to avoid the mass tourism pitfalls of the world famous Angkor Wat.

Kurdistan in Northern Iraq may not seem the ideal place for a holiday but the regional government is encouraging tourists to such an extent that a theme park has been built. Sandi talks to journalist Michael Howard about the initiative and what the area has to offer and hears from Dr Janet Hamilton about her trip there to follow the road her engineer father built in the 1920s.
