She writes her website like she’s talking to a friend. Her emails feel like real updates, not promotions. And that personal tone carries all the way through the experience.The result? Strong word of mouth, a 30,000-person email list, and a brand people remember.We also dive into how she’s started using AI in a practical way to improve her website and increase traffic without losing that personal voice.In this episode, you’ll learn:- Why sounding “professional” can actually hurt conversions- How to make your website and emails feel more human- A simple way to use AI to improve your marketing without overcomplicating itThis episode sits in the Planning stage of the Growth Engine, where guests are comparing options and deciding who they trust.Note: Stephanie was joining us from Alaska where the internet can be a bit unpredictable, so you may notice some blurriness and lighter editing than usual.

Many tour operators rely heavily on OTAs or website bookings and overlook one of the most powerful growth channels available to them: local partnerships and reseller networks.In this episode of the Tour Operator Growth Podcast, we sit down with Josh Oakes of The Sunshine Tribe, a former tour operator who built and sold a multi-million-dollar tour company and now helps tourism businesses grow through smarter systems and partnerships.Josh shares why most operators ignore reseller relationships, how strong partnerships can generate predictable bookings, and why building multiple sales channels is the key to sustainable growth. From hotels and travel agents to corporate groups and local organizations, these relationships can become a powerful engine for consistent revenue.If you want to stop relying on a single booking channel and start building a stronger, more diversified business, this episode will show you where to start.Local partners are not just referrals.

Most tour bookings do not come from one place, and that is exactly where many tour operators get stuck.Guests discover tours across Google, review sites, OTAs, social media, AI tools, email, and even offline channels like brochures and hotels. If you are only focused on one channel, you are likely missing bookings you never even see.In this first episode of The Tour Operator Growth Podcast, we break down omnipresence marketing for tour operators. What it really means, why it matters, and how to approach it without trying to do everything at once.You will learn:How guests actually find and choose tour operators todayWhy your website is the foundation of every booking channelWhich channels matter most at different stages of growthHow to stay visible without overwhelming your team or budgetWhy consistency matters more than being everywhere at onceWhether you run walking tours, day trips, or multi-day experiences, this episode will help you understand where bookings really come from and how to build a system that supports growth instead of chaos.-----------If you are enjoying the podcast, it would mean a lot if you left a quick review on Apple Podcasts or a rating on Spotify.
