    Season 2, Ep.5: The AI Travel Transformation

    The travel industry stands at a fascinating crossroads where artificial intelligence meets wanderlust. With ChatGPT now serving 2.5 billion daily prompts and rapidly approaching Google's search volume, travellers are increasingly turning to AI for everything from Scottish road trip itineraries to hotel recommendations. But as algorithms become our new travel advisors and Google transforms into an AI-powered answer engine, a critical question emerges: what happens to the irreplaceable human touch that makes travel truly magical? In this episode of Unpacked, Jules sits down with Anant Sharma, Founder & CEO of Matter of Form and Chris Hughes, CEO of Navigator, to explore how AI is reshaping the way we dream, book, and experience travel. We ask: what happens when tech meets taste, and where does that leave the magic of human intuition, imperfection, and a truly brilliant travel adviser?

    Season 2, Ep.4: Mexico and the rise of Latam - a growing powerhouse?

    Mexico, and Latin & South America more widely, is now a serious player in the global travel landscape.  A land of style, design and art; jungles and snow-capped volcanos; sumptuous cuisine, and with beaches to end all beaches. And with ultra-high net wealth soaring, and 78 million inbound travellers a year, investment in luxury hospitality is surging.   Elsewhere the figures from outbound travellers are equally staggering, with Mexican travellers spending $11 Billion on trips in 2024.  Shooting the breeze with Jules, Unpacked welcomes Mary Holland, the South African-born New York correspondent for Monocle magazine and contributor to the Financial Times, WSJ Magazine and Condé Nast Traveler, whose global perspective perfectly captures this southern hemisphere shift.  And Javier Arredondo, Vice President of Sustainability at Virtuoso and former architect of Latin America's luxury travel media landscape, who brings insider knowledge of how this transformation is reshaping the industry. We’re also pleased to announce the launch of our brand-new Unpacked newsletter. Complementing our podcast, expect dispatches filled with curiosity, candour, and jet-set irreverence.
