Education and experience are two sides of the same coin in tourism. In this episode, we sit down with Stephen Ekstrom, CEO and Co-Founder of Learn Tourism, and Andrew Moore, Visitor Services Manager at Travel Portland, to explore how professional development and visitor engagement intersect to build stronger, more sustainable destinations.
From training programs that upskill tourism professionals, to on-the-ground visitor services that shape how travelers experience a place, Stephen and Andrew share insights on what it means to create destinations that learn, adapt, and welcome with intention.
