Guests share behind-the-scenes insights into this dynamic field that connects people, cultures, and places. Each episode offers a unique perspective on the world of tourism through personal narratives and valuable experiences.
Mitja Jus, co-owner of the company Roundabout, says that tourism called to him. From working as a tour guide in his younger years, to creating packages for backpackers in Slovenia, to now offering weddings, yacht rentals, and luxury trips. They are very focused on the American market and are an excellent example of how to collaborate with competitors instead of stepping on each other’s toes. Why? Because for the guest, the quality of service is what matters most. Who is considered competition, what makes a picnic in the vineyard special, and how to balance private and business life — you can find out by listening to the Faces of Tourism podcast.
