From repeat business goldmines to why cruise clients are some of the most loyal in the industry, this is one for anyone who likes making money in travel.</p><p><br></p><p>But it’s not all smooth sailing…</p><p>There’s a full blown rant about WhatsApp groups (are they actually necessary or just chaos in notification form?), plus a behind the scenes look at what these industry trips are really like.</p><p><br></p><p>Then things take a turn…</p><p>Becky shares her brutally honest experience staying in a capsule hotel in Seville and let’s just say… it’s a hard no. Think zero space, zero comfort, and a whole lot of regret.</p><p><br></p><p>Jake and Becky also dive into:</p><p>• why so many people still travel without insurance and why that’s madness</p><p> • how to actually add value to a cruise booking and stand out from the competition</p><p> • the rise of solo travel and multi generational trips</p><p> • why small ships might be the future</p><p><br></p><p>And to top it all off… they reveal their next slightly unhinged challenge… cliff camping. Suspended off the edge of a cliff. Overnight. For charity.</p><p>No sleep. No dignity. Possibly no bladder control.</p><p>As always it’s honest, chaotic and very relatable.</p><p>If you’ve ever worked in travel or just love the madness behind the scenes… you’re in the right place.</p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Jake Cullum-Hollins & Becky Walker"}
