Phil Sheldon & Catherine Heeg: Changes in Tourism Industry

July 25, 2011 by hetravel

Scott Fuhriman at MIA airport

Join a lively conversation with me (Phil Sheldon), owner at Hanns Ebensten Travel/Alyson Adventures and member, China Inbound Task Force at NTA and graduate of ITMI.

In this interview I share my insights on how the tourism industry has changed and how a tour director can provide ‘ecology of place’ for tour guests. While experiential tours are growing in popularity, the role of the tour director is to provide structured serendipity to a new breed of traveler.
