In this episode, we delve into various pertinent topics relating to the travel industry. We kick off with the bipartisan No Hidden Fees Act of 2023, which aims to ensure transparency in travel industry pricing.

We also discuss a report by the World Travel & Tourism Council, which shows a significant decrease in the sector's water usage. The proposed Alaska-Hawaiian Airlines merger is scrutinized, exploring both pros and cons.

We also cover new initiatives by the National Park Service to provide free park entry on specific days in 2024. With tipping on the rise, we question if this trend is becoming burdensome and its possible implications. We wrap up with a recap segment reflecting on personal experiences and a pertinent hospitality quote by Winston Churchill.

In a recent conversation, the CEO & Co-Founder of Moving Mountains, Robin Craigen, discusses the acquisition of Triumph Mountain Properties. Founded by Mike Connolly, Triumph Mountain Properties is a well-established business in the Vail Valley.
The acquisition process involved three conversations over 15 years before finalizing the deal. The best part of the deal is that the Triumph team, including its founder Mike Connolly, will be joining the Moving Mountains team. This strategic acquisition serves to solidify the long-standing market presence of Moving Mountains in the Vail Valley and expand their offering of diverse experiences to their guests.
Looking to the future, while organic growth remains a firm focus for Moving Mountains, they remain open to selective acquisitions that align with their brand standards and market focus.
