TRENZ Unpacked - a First Timer Perspective with Tom Collier

The Tourism Chat Show

This episode of the Tourism Chat Show features an insightful chat with Tom Collier, the owner of Kaewa Tours. As a first-time attendee at TRENZ this year, Tom shares his experience, success, and advice for those considering attending. He advocates for the value of the TRENZ show as integral to his business's growth and the capacity for networking and establishing fruitful relationships.

Tom touches on his journey, from the corporate world to establishing his own tour guiding business, sharing the focus on sustainability and staying connected to his RTO.

Michelle and Tom also discuss how a business can prepare, stand out, and benefit from TRENZ and the importance of aligning to your business goals. In addition to that, they highlight how businesses can leverage AI and their respective communities to further thrive in the ever-changing tourism landscape.

This podcast has been produced with the support of Tourism Industry Aotearoa - the hosts and organisers of TRENZ.
