## Resource

This week on The Rundown, our field messengers check in from Uganda, Canada, Germany, Japan, United States, Egypt, Spain, and Norway. Why are destinations from Barcelona to Bali charging tourists more to visit? We look at the rise of tourism taxes and whether the money is truly helping local communities. Then, in the United States, why does dental insurance still leave so many patients paying thousands out of pocket? We look at how corporate dentistry and insurance giants are reshaping patient care behind the scenes. Plus, new post-Brexit pet travel rules are turning European vacations into paperwork obstacle courses for UK travelers bringing their animals abroad. In the Global Intelligence Agency Report, who’s really steering media narratives worldwide, what's really beneath Trump’s proposed ballroom project, and a deeper look at the G.O.D. system of control.
