Offloaded is back for Season Three!
Richard and AC kick things off with James Kavanagh, Flight Centre Travel Group’s Global CEO of Leisure. They dive into leadership, the value of mentors, and FCTG’s big strategies for growing in luxury travel and supporting independent agents.
JK chats with NCL’s Damien Borg and Angela Middleton, who speak of empowering agents via co-branding, a rapid growth in NCL’s group programme and increased options for travellers in Europe who are increasingly cruising as part of a wider holiday.
The final episode of Series 2 Ideation and Recommendation in the Travel Industrybroke the mould before we change things up again for Series 3 that’s coming in September.
Erina Pindar, COO and Managing Partner of SmartFlyer, became our first international guest, our first live in-person podcast held at a luxury hotel, and the first guest who hijacked our Offloaded section with an Offload of her very own.
Andrew Young is the General Manager Sales for TTC Tour Brands Oceania, and the only person we know that performs a demanding industry role while living and helping out as the only son on a working farm. A sales ‘nerd’, as he puts it himself, Andy tells us how ‘consultative selling’ has taken over as the method to educate agents to promote and explain diverse touring options to their clientele.
AC and Richard quizzed Brent about this interesting life and career choice, before moving on to discussing Fiji’s unique charms, character and challenges that make it a favourite for Australian travellers.
Our interviewers were very excited to get a hotelier onto the podcast in Richard’s absence, and immediately set about discussing some of the reasons why advisor relationships with properties can make so much difference for their travellers, both in planning the perfect itinerary and also tailoring the experience to the unique wants and needs of a guest.
