Lisa Minot

Lisa Minot is an award-winning travel journalist and Head of Travel at The Sun, where she has shaped the publication's travel coverage since 1999. Starting as a sub-editor in 1991, she ascended to become Britain's longest-serving travel editor in national newspapers. Under her leadership, The Sun's travel section expanded from one weekly page to two comprehensive print sections and a digital presence, pioneering integrated print/online content strategies. Minot specializes in consumer-focused reporting, breaking major industry stories like the 2008 XL Airways collapse and Thomas Cook's sunbed policy changes. She regularly appears on Sky News, BBC, and talkRADIO as a travel expert. Despite decades of global reporting, she maintains a personal tradition of summering at her family caravan in Southern France.
