Be a Better Guide - Free Tour Guide Training's video: Advice for Tour Businesses in 2018 - Industry Trends - Douglas Quinby Kelsey Tonner

https://www.arivalevent.com/kelsey-tonner-lp/ This week I'm hooking you up with a recording of an interview I did with long-time Phocusright Researcher and Co-Founder of the Arival Conference, Douglas Quinby. This is a long-form interview - about an hour or so - where we dive deep on insights into the tours and activity sector, plus Douglas offers some invaluable advice for tour businesses in 2018. You can check it out right here! We explore the rise of Google Travel, discuss which tour companies may be able to join the rising tide of Airbnb Experiences, and offer thoughts on the hot-and-getting-hotter online booking software industry. Douglas shares his personal advice for how to work with your local tourism organizations or regional convention bureaus, plus breaks down the success of some of the incredible tour companies being featured at this year's Arival Conference. You will not want to miss these insights, so pop on the video while you're making dinner, going for a jog or anytime you have a free moment.

To me, these are the most compelling reasons to view Arival as one of the biggest investment opportunities in your tour or activity business this year: 1) Education that matters to your business. Hands-on workshops on all things digital, marketing, distribution, operations and growth. 2) Connect with the latest tech. Meet and experience the most innovative technology systems, services and tools to help you advance your business. Attend one of 25 demo labs from leading tech and distribution companies and get up to date on all of the latest and greatest. 3) Network with the best and brightest in our industry. Learn from peers, build new partnerships, get new clients in the Tours, Activities & Attractions sector. Last year the conference had amazing speakers and innovative companies big and small. …not to mention some pretty fun nights socializing and making new friends.
