Biggest Changes the Travel Industry Needs

from TravelPulse Podcast Hosted by TravelPulse

This week, I welcome Antoine Wilson, owner of AD Elite Travels and CEO and Co-Founder of Melanated Safaris, to first discuss the latest trending news in travel, including winter storm Fern's impact, a big change for NYC's hotel scene, and more. Later, Wilson and I dive into what changes the travel industry needs to make. He shares his thoughts on inclusiveness, representation, customer service being key, the advisor-supplier relationship, and more. Additionally, Wilson closes it out with his advice for travel industry peers on how to make 2026 their best year yet. The discussion on travel industry changes begins after the 13-minute mark. Today's episode sponsor: Globus family of brands If your clients are asking about escorted touring, Globus and Cosmos should be at the top of your list. Together, they offer the widest touring portfolio in the industry — from affordable adventures with Cosmos to immersive, experience-rich journeys with Globus. Touring with Globus means everything is handled — hotels, transportation, sightseeing — all led by expert Tour Directors who manage logistics, unlock local insight, and bring destinations to life. That’s the difference between touring and FIT travel, where clients are left juggling the details. Add in strong commissions and dedicated advisor support, and Globus makes escorted touring easy to sell — and easy to trust. Have any feedback or questions? Want to sponsor the show?
