436 – An Old Form of Transportation Transformed Into Luxury Travel

Show 436

Show Notes:

The unkempt drifter crushes his cigarette into the pavement and slowly walks to the road that borders the bush station. He sticks his thumb in the air to flag down the next kind person who drives by in hopes of getting a ride. How many times have you watched a scene like this unfold in a movie or a television show? This is the impression many have of bus travel. But, our guest is going to dispel this image on our podcast. Luxury bus travel is what many people are turning to today to make their connections to cruise ports, theme parks, and airport hubs. Our guest, Florencia Cirigliano, in charge of marketing, sales, and public relations for Red Coach, joins the show to talk about what's new in the travel industry, some trends, and how Red Coach, a luxury bus company, is satisfying travelers with a luxury travel experience.

435 - This is the Year of the Travel Comeback

Show 435

Show Notes:

The travel industry is leaping forward as we reach a critical mass of people accepting the risk of the virus and returning to travel. According to several surveys, people are ready to spend big on their vacations. Travelers are embracing open space destinations, upscale travel, and health and wellness travel. Hotels are rebounding, with many returning to full occupancy. I discuss these topics and more, with Philip Ballard, Chief Communications Officer and head of investor relations for Hotel Planner.

Hotel Planner works with travel agents offering them the full standard commissions while taking the hassle out of booking groups of rooms for itineraries in over 36,000 worldwide destinations.
