TravHost offers a pioneering service bridging the gap between media professionals, travel agents and tourism organisations, addressing the demand for exceptional famil hosts.
Founded by seasoned travel media professionals Fiona Harper and Carolyne Jasinski, TravHost is poised to revolutionise the way tourism organisations and travel companies approach famils.
With decades of experience in tourism and media, Harper and Jasinski have developed a deep understanding of what makes a successful famil. Crucially, their inside knowledge facilitates media access to the best possible story opportunities.
“We understand what journalists need to craft compelling stories. Our goal as famil hosts is to facilitate exceptional experiences for media and travel professionals to access the best of a destination and its tourism products,” says co-founder Harper.
“We help tourism boards, destination marketers, and business operators achieve maximum exposure by generating measurable results.”
They have identified a critical need for seamless connections between travel media, travel agents and social media influencers with destinations and their tourism products. When the pressure is on to plan and deliver exceptional media coverage, when budgeted resources are stretched thin, TravHost is the trusted partner to turn to.
“We recognised a gap in the market for specialised hosting services that cater to the unique needs of both media professionals and tourism organisations,” says fellow co-founder Jasinski.
TravHost’s service is three-pronged to include famil hosting, itinerary consultation and post-famil reporting.
This holistic approach allows tourism organisations to plan famils within pre-determined budgets to meet key performance indicators. Harper and Jasinski are supported by a team of experienced tour hosts who bring expertise as journalists, PR professionals and travel industry specialists to provide unparalleled client support.
“We’ve participated in hundreds of famils, both as journalists and famil hosts, and have created itineraries for tourism boards, cruise lines, and tour companies,” notes Jasinski.
“We’re not just hosts; we’re connectors, facilitators and troubleshooters on the ground. Our inside knowledge and global network enable us to align the right media participants with client objectives, resulting in targeted and effective media coverage.”
TravHost’s unique approach has already garnered attention from industry leaders, who recognise the value of expertly hosted familiarisation trips in generating high-quality media coverage. By collaborating with clients to understand their objectives, TravHost is poised to become the go-to partner for travel industry operators seeking to elevate their brand visibility and drive growth, using expert hosts on industry famils.
In an industry where reputation and relationships are paramount, with their combined expertise, Harper and Jasinski are poised to revolutionise the way travel industry famils are hosted and executed.
