Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

467. Can AI Improve Visitor Experience? with Dan Flores
Q: What should organizations consider first when thinking about deploying AI in their operations?
Start with a strategic AI plan that maps pain points department by department, then decide whether to implement vendor solutions or build in-house, starting with customer service as the easiest entry point and expanding as readiness grows.
468. Get Going, Get Smart, and Get Good with Content, with Joshua Harrell
Q: What role do supplier partners play in a successful travel-advisor content strategy?
Supplier partners can act as trusted advisors, providing content ideas, training programs, and exclusive opportunities that advisors can share with their audience. A proactive phone conversation with a destination rep or account manager often yields more value than emails, helping build a collaboration that benefits both sides and unlocks new revenue streams.
468. Get Going, Get Smart, and Get Good with Content, with Joshua Harrell
Q: What should advisors focus on first when starting to build a content-driven business?
Start with who you are and what you're genuinely passionate about, then identify the audience you can best serve. Don't chase every trendy channel; pick the platform you can consistently show up on, test, and iterate. Over time, this builds credibility and creates opportunities for partnerships and growth.
468. Get Going, Get Smart, and Get Good with Content, with Joshua Harrell
Q: How are you seeing travel advisors and content creators work together, and what does that partnership look like today?
Content creators can live at the intersection of expertise and visibility, with travel advisors using their deep destination knowledge to spark authentic, engaging content across TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, and live formats, which then funnels audiences to more in-depth offerings like webinars or consults. The key is starting with a platform you're comfortable with, staying consistent, and allowing collaboration with supplier partners to open training or group-trip opportunities.
465. Collaboration Drives Success in Small Town Destination Marketing, with Clare Marie Ritter
Q: Can you share an example of a collaboration that you have worked on?
Clare discusses a successful collaboration that involved creating a multi-destination itinerary with Corning and Jamestown, appealing to group travelers.
