A packed episode that includes AC howling at the moon.
Parris Fotias, Regional Sales Director APAC for Dorchester Collection was our guest for this episode, interviewed by AC and stand-in presenter Sonia Jones.
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.
They also covered eschewing loyalty and preferred partner programs, new properties on the horizon, anthropologists and the ‘wealth curves’ of travellers that see them steadily gravitate towards luxury brands.
Managing Director of Albatross Tours Shelley Poten joined us for this week’s Sales Call to school us on a unique, 2023 NTIA-award-winning brand that caters uniquely to Aussie and Kiwi travellers.
AC and Richard also Offloaded about people putting too many pictures of their trips on Facebook, a theory based largely on pure envy.
