Travel is one of those industries where the product is the experience. That makes it beautiful and terrifying to build in. The founders in this section have done it anyway. Hotels. Travel tech. Tour companies. Booking platforms. And everything else that gets people from where they are to where they want to be.
These interviews cover the full travel landscape. Hospitality. Adventure travel. Business travel. Travel technology. Sustainable tourism. The intersection of wanderlust and logistics, which is where all travel companies live.
The founders here are honest about the unique challenges of the industry. Seasonality. Reviews that can make or break you. The complexity of operating across borders, time zones, and regulatory environments. And the fact that one pandemic can shut down everything overnight. These are resilient people.
You’ll find insights on building travel brands, customer experience design, leveraging technology in hospitality, and the art of selling something intangible. If you’re in the travel industry, building travel tools, or just fascinated by how the world moves, these conversations take you places. Pun intended, but the insights are serious.
