The world of multi-day tours is changing fast — and the technology powering it is evolving just as quickly.

In this episode, your podcast co-hosts Janelle Visser and Stephen Joyce dive into the tech side of the increasingly popular world of multi-day travel, exploring how distribution and booking tech are evolving to move multi-day forward.

First up, Travis Pittman, CEO and Co-Founder of TourRadar, shares how his company is redefining how travelers discover and book multi-day tours online, connecting operators to influencer content with "Moments" — and why partnerships, flexibility, and sustainability are key to the next wave of growth.

Next, Erika Sternburg, Director of Strategic Accounts at WeTravel, joins to talk about what makes multi-day operations so complex — and how tech companies like hers are rising to the challenge. From online booking and payments to partner networks and travel advisors, Erika takes us behind the scenes of how WeTravel is building tech that empowers multi-day operators to connect the dots across the global travel ecosystem.
