Year End Wrap Up And 2022 Predictions.....Episode 29

How can tour operators compete against the OTAs (online travel agencies)? In this episode, Steve welcomes two NEW guests on the podcast: Linda Denbrock, AAMP Agency's VP, and Alex Piccone, AAMP's Director of Account Management. They discuss setting your tour company up for success, striking the perfect balance between taking advantage of the benefits of OTAs and not being overly reliant on them.

It's nice to be back....I mean 9 months later.  What could we even have been doing? Well, a lot of things actually.  A whole bunch of new clients.  A bunch of video production.  And a few more people on the team.  Today, the team got together to discuss all the craziness that has been happening this summer. Rejoining us this time are; Steve, Janeth, Alyx, & Jazlyn. We even welcomed some fresh faces to the team, Norman and Tiffany! During this episode, we discuss music festivals, Las Vegas tourism trends, and a brief sneak peek at what’s to come at Arival 2022!  We also made sure Norman knew that AAMP had a Tik Tok and a Podcast...I mean he has only worked here 5 months.....  Can't wait to talk to you guys next week.

So new year and our first guest to ring in 2022, is one of our favorites, Jared Broach with Eat Drink Scare.  He runs one of the largest ghost tour pub crawls in 17+ cities around the US along with some very cool Cable Car Wine Tours in California and Texas.  This guy is tourism!! In this episode we talked about all sorts of stuff including the upcoming Arival event, things happening in Tourism around the globe and just BS'd about business, and whats all happening around us.  This was a really fun podcast to record and we hope you feel the same.  If you havn't yet registered for Arival, you can do so by clicking here.  We will be at the event all week and we look forward to meeting up with our old friends and making a bunch of new ones.

Hey what can I say, we recorded this great episode talking about our end of the year thoughts and 2022 predictions and then myself like the rest of the country got hit with a nasty cold. So instead of posting this last week before New Years, you are now getting our end of the year wrap up, 4 days into the New Year.  Not sure if this is a fireable offense but I apologize none the less. We talked about Coronavirus, and shut downs and travel and conventions and festivals and ......well, just take a listen.  It was some fun banter to wrap up 2021.  We cant wait for you all to see the new exciting things we have happening at AAMP.  We are growing and have a lot of fun new exciting things in the works.  And we hope you all have an amazing 2022 and we hope to work with a lot more of you as we continue our push to help Tour Operators and Adventure businesses grow and get more bookings.  If you want to hop on a call and see how we can help schedule a Discovery Call by clicking here. Speak to you all very soon. -Steve

Ever wondered what it takes to open up and run a successful Side By Side Rental Operation? Well we had an opportunity to sit down with Greg and Tone from Tuscon Adventure Rentals and learn how a guy from England and his Norwegian wife started and built the biggest Side By Side and Slingshot Rental and Tour operation.  This podcast is definitely one of my favorites, knowing where we started with Tuscon Adventure Rentals as a client, to where we are today.  Greg and Tone are some pretty great people and its been an absolute pleasure to work with them and help get them to the spot they are today.

We talked about everyones favorite social platform, TikTok.  If you havn't been sucked in yet to the addiction/magic that is TikTok you are are either missing out or have way more time than I do.  Like it or not, TikTok is taking the world by storm and has is month after month, the most downloaded app on the Apple and Google app store.  We sat down and talked about content creation and TikTok with Daniel aka the CEO of Las Vegas.  Daniel has been creating a TikTok every day about all the cool things and events happening around Las Vegas, with a few of these videos getting millions of views.  We discuss all things social media and what drove him to get here.  And why you should be using TikTok to help people learn about your business. You can go check out Daniels TikTok here.

Just back from a nice Thanksgiving break and to get the week rolling we now we have a new Covid variant, called Omicron.  Which to me sounds like it's a member of the Decepticons, but what do I know.  But here we are on month 20 of the Covid-19 Virus, and with a new variant, what is that going to mean to the Arival Conference coming up  February 1-4th in San Diego, and the bigger question, is what does that mean for tourism and international travel. Pretty crazy stat but Global Tourism and Travel are down over 2 Trillion Dollars in 2021.  Can these tour operators and travel related businesses actually stand another round of covid shutdowns? We also somehow went down the rabbit hole of backlinks and what it actually means to buy or get backlinks to your website.  But we would love your thoughts or take on how this Omicron variant affects tourism moving forward or when and if things ever return to "normal".

Steve and Jaden took the new AAMP Studio for a spin on Episode 25. New address, new offices, brand new studio, and a whole lot of things to talk about.  Felt good to get back on the podcast as it's been over a month since our last show.  Plus its Thanksgiving tomorrow so we talked about Steve going out to the Wynn for Thanksgiving dinner.  And Steves's recent EDC experience.  We have been swamped over here at AAMP ever since we came back from the Awkward Watersports Guys event down in Orlando, plus moving into our new facility, there has been a ton of changes and we are so excited to show you guys the new digs and get the show back on its regularly scheduled time slot.  Until next week...hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving.
