Magical Places & When Authentic is too Authentic, with Judith Volker (Austria)

My guest today is Judith Volker, from Holland originally but residing in Vienna. She’s a hospitality and gourmet expert, who has worked throughout Europe in many different capacities from hotel management and hotel construction management, to event organization, marketing, and communication. Her focus is to create uncommon hospitality experiences and concepts that are interesting, inspiring, and against the norm.  This conversation is probably most suited for those who are travel designers, arranging travel for a clientele who have high expectations, where you as the advisor may be running up against challenges within the traditional hotel framework, of not finding exactly what your guests are needing. For those high-end retreat leaders, again, not finding exactly what you’re needing for your group. Compromising, but at the detriment to the essence of the program, or the guest. Because there is not another solution in the market currently. It’ll also be of interest to those travel advisors who seek authenticity & serendipity in itinerary, but are always balancing that with the expectation of curating perfection.
