There’s also a brand new island quiz, a trip to Tilbury that sounds like something from a post apocalyptic film, and a look inside Ambassador’s Ambience after Becky’s recent ship visit, including some very impressive food reviews.

    Win three nights in DUBAI!

    🎙️ Episode 31 – New Studio, New Sponsor & Cyprus Adventures! This week, we're coming to you from our brand-new podcast studio as Tales of a Travel Agent enters an exciting new chapter with our very first sponsor! We chat about what the partnership means, filming on camera for the first time, and why Becky's morning got off to a rather painful (and very naked) start... Becky shares all the highlights from her recent Trafalgar River Cruise FAM along the Danube, including why river cruising is attracting a much younger audience than ever before, silent discos on board, and the backhanded compliment that left her laughing. Jake takes us through his latest family holiday to Cyprus, from private yacht charters and buggy adventures around the Akamas Peninsula to turtle beaches, local wineries and why hiring a captain completely changed the experience. Plus, why Jumbo might just be the most dangerous shop in Europe! We also reveal our first-ever listener competition thanks to Galaxi, giving you the chance to win a 3-night stay at the Palazzo Versace Dubai with breakfast included. Finally, we discuss TikTok Go, the new travel booking platform that's launching in the UK, and why travel agents shouldn't fear it—instead, it could become one of the biggest opportunities yet for those creating travel content. As always, expect plenty of laughs, questionable stories, travel tips, and the usual chaos from Jake and Becky. ✈️ Don't forget to subscribe, leave us a review, and join the Tales of a Travel Agent Facebook group to enter our exclusive competition!

    Is she EVER in this country?

    This week on Tales of a Travel Agent, Jake and Becky are back with another packed episode full of travel industry chat, hilarious stories and plenty of tangents. Becky kicks things off with the chaos of trying to find a clothes steamer just minutes before a big travel industry event, before the pair discuss the latest disruption affecting the Middle East and what global events mean for travel agents and their customers. They also revisit Becky’s Antarctica marketing campaign, which has already generated over £100,000 in bookings, discussing the time, investment and strategy behind building a successful specialist travel business. From quoting luxury expedition cruises to managing customer expectations, it's a fascinating insight into niche travel sales. Becky also shares highlights from her recent FAM trip to Madeira, including whale watching, jeep safaris, the famous wicker toboggans, late nights she never expected to enjoy, and why Madeira deserves far more attention from UK travellers. As always, expect honest conversations, practical business advice and plenty of stories from life as a travel agent. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
