Rethinking Travel Necessity and Sustainability with Xavier Font - 270
In this episode of Tourpreneur, we dive into the intricacies of sustainable travel with Xavier Font, a seasoned expert in travel and sustainability. With over two decades of experience and a professorship at the University of Surrey, Xavier brings a wealth of knowledge to our discussion.
We explore the necessity of rethinking travel for environmental reasons and the potential for combining work and travel for greater efficiency and satisfaction. Xavier emphasizes designing meaningful travel experiences that foster personal interactions, rather than purely focusing on technical sustainability measures. We also tackle the growth of sustainable consumer interest, the implications of certifications like B Corp, and the practical steps small to medium-sized operators can take to integrate sustainability.
Join us as we unpack the opportunities and challenges facing the travel industry and discover how tour operators can lead the charge towards a more sustainable future.

    Perhaps AirBnB founders know that their bread and butter is simply accommodation and, while yes they "invented" the term Experiences, maybe the weight of this word doesn´t translate into other languages or cultures. And let´s remember, Amazon during Covid launched EXPLORE virtual tours, another nice word, but they lost a ton of money on it overall and jettisoned it in 2022 I think, perhaps understandably so.

      AirBNB want experiences to work. They have put too much money into it. This is their third time. I suspect there will be a fourth and a fifth time too.

    Hey there, thanks for the video and taking the time to make it. I did see a similar video yesterday where the creator did in fact create the two avatars and synced their voices to their movements-so we are already there!!! But yes, it will get even better. I will use this to papproach new clients having made them a free podcast clip, hopefully to earn their business on the backend. These don’t take too long to make at all and are extremely effective in wowing people! Again, thanks. 🥂

    Greetings from Egypt. As a tourist Guide and as former secretary General of the Egyptian General Tourist Guides Syndicate. As well as representatives of the world federation of tourist Guides Associations I would like to mention that you may meet a few of our greatest colleges whom working as a professional Tourist guide in our country Egypt. Thanks God because I didn't watch similar videos 28 years ago otherwise I was never agreed to study for 4 years to be such bad Guide who doesn't know how to make the travelers happy instead of telling them the history and force them to shopping to get commission. With all respect we are not only classified as one of the best guides all around the world but we do make great job the clients reviews are available everywhere. Good luck with your company We will be waiting to learn about how we can be good tourist Guides.
