Katalina Mayorga is the powerhouse founder of El Camino Travel, a multi-day tour company reimagining the group trip experience for a new generation.

But she's also much more than a tour operator. To sell her trips she's leaned heavily into community, creating a membership that serves not only as a customer base, but a space for likeminded 'bold women' to share recommendations and advice. And to power this community, she's created a new tech platform that is re-imagining the travel booking flow in an age where we're all drowning in the mediocre recommendations of AI and endless clickbait blog posts.

In this episode, Tourpreneur's Mitch Bach talks to Katalina about:

  • what it takes to design and market the group travel experience to millennials.
  • what makes a great DMC relationship, from both perspectives.
  • what social responsibility really means
  • building a community-driven brand
  • How to build a brand when you’re small
  • the growing ‘nichification’ of travel

...and so much more.
