Johanna “Joey” Silver, travel consultant with Expedia Cruises (Photo Credit: Supplied)With more than eight years in the industry, Joey shares how she found her niche in curated, experience-driven travel, and why those “from-scratch” itineraries are where she thrives. She talks about the growing demand for immersive travel, the rise of set-jetting (yes, Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings fans, this one’s for you), and how advisors can turn one-time bookings into long-term relationships built on trust.
From client anxiety around global travel to shifting booking behaviours, Joey offers a clear-eyed look at how advisors are navigating uncertainty, and why transparency and realistic expectations matter more than ever.
Plus, in this episode’s Pulse Check, Joey weighs in on underrated trends, red-eye flights, and why “Eye of the Tiger” might just be the unofficial anthem of Canadian travel.
