Episode 269 of That Great Business Show
🎧 “From Graveyards to Getaways – How Click & Go Built Ireland’s Smartest Holiday Business”
If you’ve ever booked a holiday online, cursed the “hidden fees”, or wondered who still uses a travel agent… this episode will make you think again.
Guest Paul Hackett, is the straight-talking CEO of Click & Go Holidays — the Irish travel company that’s taken on the global giants and won. He’s built a business that survived recessions, Brexit, and a pandemic, and is now setting sail (literally) into Europe with booming cruise and city-break markets.
In true That Great Business Show style, we cover it all — the highs, the near-crashes, the clever pivots, and even the day Paul’s other half sold four cruise cabins… in a graveyard.
Expect:
🧳 Smart travel hacks for your next holiday.
🛳 Why Irish people are missing out on the biggest travel trend in the world — cruises.
🌍 How Click & Go is quietly expanding across Europe (and why Central Europe is the next big thing).
📈 What the Irish travel industry gets right — and what still drives Paul up the wall.
And yes — there’s the usual dash of mischief and Mayo magic from our sponsor, De Facto Shaving Oil — made in Mayo, sold worldwide. Smoother, smarter, no matter what (or where) you shave.
So tune in for the business, stay for the craic, and maybe pick up a travel tip or two before your next break.
