In each episode we dive into the journeys of people who are leading the way in one of the largest industries in the world. These are the founders, changemakers, risk takers, visionaries and custodians. We're here to celebrate their wins and share the lessons along the way to inspire you. Hosted by Rebecca Woolford, founder of Kiwano Tourism, The Tourism RESET podcast is about acknowledging that travel is a privilege and with that comes great responsibility. It's a medium to remind travel professionals and teams around the world what a big, beautiful industry this is and how to move beyond guilt and overwhelm, and instead feel inspired, moved, compelled and engaged in the solutions.
