Together they discuss a recent incident of guide poaching amongst tour platforms, and talk about what trust and fairness looks like in our industry.Guide platforms operate differently than other OTAs like GetYourGuide, Viator or Klook, since they deal primarily in solo entrepreneurs who themselves are the face of the tour.In this episode of Tourpreneur the group discusses:what does the platform's commission get spent on?how a guide platform acquires a customerwhat goes into a great guide profilethe rise of video, and social commercewhat it takes to build trust between travelers, guides and a platformhow guides need to adopt a 'marketing mindset', beyond delivering a great tourwhat they think of Airbnb Experiences' new rebootDon't forget:Join Tourpreneur's 20,000 strong Facebook Group of tour professionals!Join us for TourWeek 2025, our annual conference for tour operators & guides!

In this episode, we dive into a topic that many teams only start paying attention to when it's already too late: Garbage Collection in Java microservices. And we do so together with Usama Nasir, Staff Software Engineer at GetYourGuide.While you might think Kubernetes solves everything, Usama shares how his team at GetYourGuide was still caught off guard by mysterious Out of Memory errors. The culprit? Microservices may be small, but that doesn't mean Java's memory management just takes care of itself.We talk about how Java's memory model really works, why different garbage collectors (like G1GC or ZGC) perform completely differently under pressure, and how small decisions can have a big impact on performance. Usama explains how observability with tools like Datadog turned out to be essential, and why sometimes it's actually smarter to allocate less memory to your containers.But the most important takeaway? Garbage Collection isn't just “a Java thing.” It's a shared responsibility between developers and DevOps/SREs. Only together can you find that sweet spot between speed, stability, and scalability.-----------In deze aflevering duiken we samen met Usama Nasir, Staff Software Engineer bij GetYourGuide, in een onderwerp dat in veel teams pas aandacht krijgt als het al te laat is: Garbage Collection in Java microservices.Hoewel je misschien denkt dat Kubernetes alles oplost, vertelt Usama hoe zijn team bij GetYourGuide tóch werd verrast door mysterieuze Out of Memory-errors. Wat bleek? Microservices mogen dan klein zijn, maar dat betekent niet dat Java's geheugenhuishouding vanzelf goed gaat.We praten over hoe Java's memory model echt werkt, waarom verschillende garbage collectors (zoals G1GC of ZGC) totaal anders presteren onder druk, en hoe kleine keuzes grote impact hebben op performance. Usama legt uit hoe observability met tools als Datadog onmisbaar bleek, en waarom het soms slimmer is om minder geheugen toe te kennen aan je containers.Maar het belangrijkste inzicht? Garbage Collection is geen “Java-dingetje”. Het is een verantwoordelijkheid van zowel developers als DevOps/SRE's. Alleen samen vind je die sweet spot tussen snelheid, stabiliteit en schaalbaarheid.Stuur ons een bericht.https://acc-ict.com/liveSupport the showLike and subscribe!

We all know good reviews are important, but what deeper insights can reviews give us about our tour businesses, and our industry?To answer that, Anna Cashman, Head of B2B Brand & Insights for GetYourGuide, led an effort to analyze 3.1 million reviews with comments. Her team parsed the data to understand trends and takeaways for tour operators. She joins Peter, Chris and Mitch on the podcast to talk through what this all means for tour operators.We were surprised by some of the report's insights: What countries leave the most reviews? Who are the most critical reviewers? How many reviews ensures a successful product? Why are attractions so popular but so poorly reviewed? What kinds of tours get the best reviews?Download the Review ReportGetYourGuide's Spring 2025 Unlocked Release for SuppliersJoin GetYourGuide as a supplierAnna Cashman on LinkedIn

Airbnb CEO - Brian Chesky - Creating the Everything App

Tao Tao ist sechs Jahre alt, als er aus China nach Deutschland kommt. Heute ist er Mitgründer von GetYourGuide: Das Startup vermittelt Reiseerlebnisse in 170 Ländern und ist mittlerweile mehr als zwei Milliarden Euro wert.Der Großteil des Teams sitzt in Berlin, allerdings kommen 90 Prozent der Belegschaft aus dem Ausland. Deshalb ist Tao Tao das Thema Fachkräfteeinwanderung wichtig. Er sieht in Deutschland extremen Nachholbedarf.Fakt ist: Durch den demografischen Wandel werden hierzulande bis 2030 etwa fünf Millionen Fachkräfte fehlen. Für internationale Fachkräfte ist Deutschland bisher aber nicht besonders attraktiv. Unter den OECD-Ländern haben wir nach Belgien bei Steuern und Sozialabgaben die zweithöchsten Sätze.Tao Tao setzt deshalb auf einen Vorschlag, den die FDP während ihrer Zeit in der Ampel gemacht hat: Er möchte ausländischen Fachkräften, die in Deutschland arbeiten, die Steuern erlassen. Dieser Vorschlag stieß damals auf großen Widerstand.Warum Tao Tao trotzdem daran glaubt, wie er die Zukunft des Standorts Deutschlands sieht und wie er mit seinem Startup GetYourGuide durch große Krisen gekommen ist, das und vieles mehr verrät er im Podcast."Startup - jetzt ganz ehrlich" - der Podcast mit Janna Linke.

TP hosts Mitch Bach, Peter Syme and Chris Torres have just returned from their California Road Show, in partnership with GetYourGuide.We spent a week hosting business development workshops in San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara, and Los Angeles, meeting dozens of operators in all sorts of verticals. Thanks to everyone who showed up, and to GetYourGuide who shared regional data on travel trends and customer behavior insights relevant to the local market. The Tourpreneur team paired that data with live business audits.The results were surprising.In this episode, we look at 6 easy fixes to your tour business that we repeatedly saw in the operators we audited, as well as the top 6 sales channels—according to the operators attending—that are working right now. We dig into the why of it all, and Peter does his best Grumpy Grinch impression.All the resources and events we mentioned are available at tourpreneur.com

“Influencers are forever reinforcing the same images. They’re spending no time in the actual place, other than the requisite time to take the photo. From the local community’s point of view, these kinds of tourists bring very little value.” –Stuart McDonald In this episode of Deviate, Rolf and Stuart talk about why Stuart chose to make his office in West Bali, and why South Bali has developed something of a bad reputation in terms of over-tourism (2:30); the mythos of Bali, how it became a “dreamscape” in the Western consciousness, and how it has changed in recent years (6:30); why certain areas in Bali become over-touristed, and how it has recently been affected by “influencers” (18:00); how black magic and ghosts are part of the belief systems of Balinese, yet few travelers ascertain this (24:00); and how much social-media travel content leaves out essential cultural context (31:00). Stuart McDonald (@travelfishery) is the co-founder of Travelfish.org, a travel planning website covering Southeast Asia, which he launched in 2014. He has been traveling in that part of the world since 1993, and living there since 1997.

Presented by BrandUSA Episode Notes Airbnb recently said its average daily rates can be cheaper than those of hotels. But there are lot of factors to consider, reports Executive Editor Dennis Schaal. The company said the average daily rate in March of a one-bedroom Airbnb worldwide was $114 while data firm CoStar reported the equivalent rate for a hotel room was $140. But Schaal notes there is a lot of nuance in those numbers, adding they don't include Airbnb cleaning fees, hotel resort fees or taxes.  In addition, Jan Freitag, a CoStar executive, said the issue of whether an Airbnb or a hotel room is cheaper depends on the market and time of the year, among other factors.  Next, Scandinavia is seeing a surge in tour and activity bookings for this summer in part due to the region's moderate climate, writes Travel Experiences Reporter Jesse Chase-Lubitz.  Data from GetYourGuide, Viator and TourRadar all indicate a significant jump in bookings compared to last year. The spike may be connected to traditionally popular destinations like Italy, Spain and Greece increasingly experiencing summertime heat waves and wildfires. Viator says Norway is the fastest-growing country in its portfolio while TourRadar reports bookings in Denmark and Sweden are surpassing average growth rates.  Finally, Southwest Airlines fares are now appearing on Google Flights, which had been considered unlikely, writes Airlines Reporter Megnha Maharishi.  Southwest said in a statement that it was looking to extend its reach, with Maharishi noting the carrier hadn't previously listed its fares on Google Flights or online travel agencies as a way to cut distribution costs. Southwest is also conducting an in-depth study into consumer preferences as it considers making more changes to its model. CEO Bob Jordan recently said that Southwest is weighing whether to implement assigned seating and add premium cabins to its fleet. Today's podcast looks at Airbnb prices, summer travel in Scandinavia, and booking Southwest on Google Flights.  Producer/Presenter: Jose Marmolejos

In the latest episode of The CFO Playbook, David McClelland is joined by Giles Andrews OBE, co-founder of Zopa, the world's first P2P lending business launched in 2004, to discuss two decades working in FinTech and the role of artificial intelligence in shaping the financial services of the future. Finding himself as an accidental CFO in the early days of Zopa thanks to an accountancy qualification, Giles progressed to CEO and Chairman and is still an active Board Member, responsible for in excess of £4bn in loans in the UK, and revolutionising the way we look at banking. Reflecting on the economic storms faced globally over the past few years, Giles offers an insider's perspective on the 2008 financial crisis, revealing how it inadvertently fuelled Zopa's growth by transforming the lending landscape. Now managing a diverse portfolio, from the intricacies of Zopa's operations to Chair of online automotive marketplace CarWow, Giles is all too familiar with the challenges faced against a backdrop of evolving consumer behaviour and digital upheaval. In a world now captivated by artificial intelligence, he shares his thoughts on the positives in work efficiency and improved user experience in customer service, but expresses concerns about ethics and governance, especially in financial services. Balancing innovation and regulation, Giles highlights the importance of ethical leadership and community spirit to ensure a prosperous ecosystem for businesses of all sizes, whilst embracing advancements in technology.

In this episode of The CFO Playbook, David McClelland explores how financial management should be embedded into company culture with Richard Dana, co-founder and CEO at Tembo Money. With a background in corporate finance, Richard shares how he leveraged his interest in travel to co-found the budget-boutique hotel booking platform Doris and Dickie, and the lessons learned from being thrifty in balancing the books from day one with a small team, managing by cost. Reflecting on his role as CFO at Founders Factory, a unique platform matching leading corporate brands with industry expertise with innovative start-ups to solve specific pain points within their sector. Richard affirms his mantra that founders should focus on being thrifty and making every pound work hard, whilst having a path to profitability and a clear understanding of the financials. Now on a mission to address the housing affordability crisis, Richard co-founded family lending platform Tembo Money, with the aim of closing the generational wealth gap by broadening access to homeownership. With no CFO currently in place, the focus since its launch in 2020 has been on becoming profitable with a lean team and outsourced accountancy. Richard highlights that despite the crossovers between the CFO and CEO roles, there is a much greater focus on "selling the business" as a CEO, whilst keeping an eye on the money during the early days of growing a new business. Finally, against the backdrop of the current economic landscape, Richard gives his view on starting a business in a recession; although it's challenging, partnering with established companies and focusing on a product with a real customer need can help mitigate risks. Extending cash runway is crucial for startups, and involves monitoring cash flow, cutting costs, and exploring non-investment funding options.

Liam Lawson passed his first Formula 1 exam with flying colours in 2023. His performances in Daniel Ricciardo's absence vindicated Red Bull's faith in the New Zealander and suggests we've not seen the last of him in an F1 car. ‘Frustrated' at not having a seat on the grid for 2024, Lawson is clearly very determined to return to the pinnacle of motorsport as soon as possible. He tells Tom Clarkson how he felt when receiving the call-up at Zandvoort, what he's learned from the five Grands Prix he raced in, why he wants to inspire young racers in New Zealand, his hopes for 2024, and much more.

Multiple World Champions and now a dominant force in Formula 1, it's easy to forget Red Bull Racing's humble beginnings back in 2005. They've produced F1 stars like Max Verstappen, Sebastian Vettel, Alex Albon and Pierre Gasly, but the first man to graduate from Red Bull's junior programme and race for the team was Christian Klien. His time in the sport was shorter than hoped, reduced to test driver roles after just three years on the grid. But in faster cars, his talent may have been far more obvious. Speaking to Tom Clarkson, Christian reflects on his F1 venture - explaining why it didn't last longer and how he knew it was time to leave the sport in 2010. He also talks about his former teammates, Mark Webber and David Coulthard, why Red Bull was renowned for being a party team, his thoughts on the 2023 season, and much more.
