On this episode of Destination on the Left, I'm at the NTA Travel Exchange in Ottawa to speak with eight leading professionals shaping the future of group travel, tourism, and hospitality. You'll hear insights from leaders who share the latest market trends, traveler behaviors, innovative approaches, and what's ahead for 2026. The conversations explore the strong resurgence of group tours, the rise of small group and multi-generational travel, and a growing demand for immersive, meaningful experiences—from stargazing in Utah to luxury train journeys. You'll discover how industry partnerships and collaborations, such as inter-association alliances and joint destination marketing efforts, are helping operators adapt to challenges and seize new opportunities. In this episode, you'll hear from these knowledgeable tourism leaders: Vince Accardi: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vince-accardi-cae-15890033/ Wendy Dobrzynski: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wendy-dobrzynski-9604851/ Chad Ellis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chad-ellis-8227611b0/ Jeff Bont: linkedin.com/in/jeff-bont-832a7513 Richard Arnold: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-arnold-597ab536/ Brenna Moore: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brennamoore Jason Murray: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-murray-585426219/ Brent Dalrymple: https://www.travelsunrise.com/about/team/brent-dalrymple What You Will Learn in This Episode: How group tours are evolving, including the rise of small-group and multi-generational travel Why immersive and experiential travel is in high demand, with travelers seeking story-rich, active adventures What industry leaders are seeing in terms of major market trends, including a resurgence in demand and travelers' changing expectations How partnerships and collaborations between associations, DMOs, and attractions are strengthening the group travel industry and opening new markets Why upcoming events like the Route 66 Centennial and America's 250th anniversary are shaping new itineraries and driving tour planning for 2026 What challenges operators are facing, such as shifting consumer sentiment and border issues How technology, data, and consumer insights are being used to track travel sentiment and inform future business decisions across the travel sector A New Wave of Group Travelers At this year's NTA Travel Exchange in Ottawa, we bring together a great lineup of industry leaders to discuss key trends, challenges, and innovations set to shape group tourism into 2026 and 2027. From new tour models and demographic shifts to major anniversaries and the rise of experiential itineraries, these insights reveal an industry that's not only recovering but thriving. It's an exciting time for group travel. Both Vince Accardi and Wendy Dobrzynski explain why the "senior" market is no longer a monolithic group—retirees are younger, wealthier, more adventurous, and more interested in curated, comfortable experiences. Buses are once again filling up, often with multi-generational families and smaller groups seeking meaningful, shared adventures. Richard Arnold highlights that small group tours remain in demand, with 2026 departures already selling out. Flexible departure sizes, customized itineraries, and a willingness to split larger busloads into more intimate cohorts are key strategies for operators catering to evolving traveler preferences. Experiential and Immersive Travel Takes Center Stage Today's groups are looking for more than sightseeing, they're after immersive, story-rich experiences. Chad Ellis from Boda Borg Boston shares how activity-based attractions built around collaboration and problem-solving are striking a chord with groups large and small, from school trips to team-building getaways. Jason Murray of Southwest Adventure Tours reports a boom in experiential travel, especially among families booking private adventures to explore the outdoors and the night sky together. His new focus on "astro tourism" with Dark Sky Adventures reflects a growing appetite for education, enrichment, and unique moments under rare night skies. The Power of Partnership If there's one recurring theme, it's the transformative power of partnership. From national associations banding together in support of their members, to innovative cross-state collaborations like Wendy Dobrzynski's Dynamic Destinations, cooperation is helping travel businesses and DMOs expand reach, cut costs, and deliver even better value for travelers. Jeff Bont from Rocky Mountaineer and Canyon Spirit illustrates another kind of collaboration, working closely with tour operators and travel agencies to create sell-out trips, leveraging iconic anniversaries like America's 250th and Route 66's centennial for compelling, themed itineraries.

Vince Accardi is well known as the pioneer of sectional times in Australian horse racing. That data and analysis quickly became the industry standard in Australian horse racing, and is valued by serious punters, racing bodies, stewards, handicappers, and media pundits. He's back on the Betting 360 podcast to lift the lid on his personal betting strategy, including his unique perspective on punting psychology. Vince details his specific staking methods, how he deals with the emotional impact of wins and losses, his disciplined approach to race selection, and how he views punting as a business. ----------------------------------------- Think. Is this a bet you really want to have? -----------------------------------

On this episode of Destination on the Left, we are doing something different. Earlier this month, we hosted a webinar on the effects of policy and headlines on cross-border tourism. This was the first of a series of community conversations that we will be hosting this year. In this webinar, we invited 5 expert panelists to talk about Canadian-U.S. Tourism. The conversation was forward-focused and collaborative, and our panelists shared openly, candidly and provided actionable insights and ideas for strengthening cross-border tourism between Canada and the US. That is why we decided to replay the audio from this webinar here on Destination on the Left. In this episode, you'll hear from five inspirational tourism and travel media professionals: Vince Accardi, President of Ontario Motor Coach Association Corey Fram, Director of Thousand Islands International Tourism Council Richard Arnold, Owner of Atlantic Tours Canada Catherine Dawson March, Travel Writer and Editor of The Globe and Mail Christopher Mitchell, Canadian Travel Influencer from Traveling with Mitch Ideas to Build Community and Collaboration We examine the impact of recent policy changes and tariffs on cross-border tourism between Canada and the US. Our knowledgeable industry experts share their perspectives on the current Canadian sentiment toward US travel, potential economic impacts, and the power of tourism as a connector during challenging times. Vince Accardi, President of Ontario Motor Coach Association Vince emphasizes the longstanding economic and cultural ties between Canada and the U.S. in tourism. He highlights the importance of staying invested in cross-border partnerships even during challenging situations and the importance of open communication and collaboration between tour operators, destinations, and consumers to counter the negative effects of current political climates. Corey Fram, Director of Thousand Islands International Tourism Council Corey shares insights from the unique position of a binational destination. He pointed out the historical patterns of cross-border travel challenges, such as those post-9/11, and the impact on travel sentiment. He also stresses the importance of maintaining face-to-face communication and building strong relationships at the local level to ensure continued collaboration across the border. Richard Arnold, Owner of Atlantic Tours Canada Richard discusses the deep-rooted connections between Atlantic Canada and the U.S., particularly New England. He frankly expresses that Canadians' sentiments toward current political issues have also led to hurt feelings. However, he remains optimistic about the tourism sector's resilience and values the importance of storytelling and media campaigns to remind Canadians and Americans of their longstanding friendly relations and shared histories. Catherine Dawson March, Travel Writer and Editor of the Globe And Mail Catherine offers her insights into the editorial perspective on the situation. She discusses the shift in Canadian sentiment toward travel to the U.S. due to current trade issues. Catherine highlights the challenge of running U.S.-focused stories during such times and expresses the responsibility of media professionals to handle content carefully to avoid inflaming existing tensions. Christopher Mitchell, Canadian Travel Influencer from Traveling With Mitch Chris speaks about maintaining personal and professional relationships beyond political narratives. While acknowledging the challenges posed by the current climate, Chris emphasizes the value of sharing local stories that highlight human connections and positive experiences. He stresses the role of travel influencers and creators in shaping narratives that transcend political disputes and support ongoing dialogue between Canadians and Americans. It's clear that despite the hurdles posed by tariffs and political rhetoric, the tourism relationship between these two countries remains resilient. The panel urges open communication, and strategic partnerships to nurture this vital economic and cultural bond. As communities, companies, and governments on both sides of the border navigate these complexities, the overarching message is one of patience, optimism, and a shared commitment to a future where tourism flourishes, unhindered by current and future challenges.
