Episode #1 - we chat with Alex Peppis from Tiqets on Covid, Christmas, and market trends.

Welcome to the first episode of the new podcast - Inside Travel Trade - a brand new travel podcast brought to you by Emma-Jane Nutbrown, founder of That’s The Ticket, and so called Queen Katie Blake, Client Services Director at Kallaway.

So why does the world need another podcast? Some of our listeners may remember in those difficult and dark early days of the pandemic, a shining light that happened every Thursday where a wonderful human, in the tourism sector, Alex Peppis, brought us all together once a week to share our experiences, brainstorm challenges together, share knowledge, keep everyone up to date, and most importantly keep spirits high. And we missed it when it stopped!

We had been mulling over for a few months, what could possibly fill that void, and we thought, let’s try a podcast. So the spirit behind it is very much around bringing together innovative people, doing interesting things or simply have an interesting experience or story to tell, and we can then share it with you, our travel trade audience, but it’s not just for that sector, it could be retail, the arts and culture, anyone that’s trying to drive people to go to places. So here we are, to have a natter with some interesting people.

First up..... Alex Peppis from Tiqets.

Since it’s founding in 2014, Tiqets has been on a mission to make culture more accessible by helping people discover, and enjoy, museums, attractions across the globe, from iconic experiences to hidden gems, millions of people have used Tiqets as their way to explore a city’s culture, and today we are joined by, Alex Peppis, who is the Regional Manager for UK & Ireland and been working in the tourism industry for over 16 years, joining from well known websites such as Lastminute.com, TravelZoo, Smart Destinations and now steering the ship for Tickets here in the UK.

We asked Alex to join us on our first episode to talk about the trends in the markets Tiqets operate in, how destinations can harness experience gifting this Christmas and trends for 2021.
