In this week’s episode of Tales of a Travel Agent, Jake and Becky are joined by the incredible Claire Brighton, Head of the Association of Touring and Adventure Suppliers (ATAS). Known as the “Queen of Adventure Travel,” Claire shares her fascinating journey from failing her A-levels to leading one of travel’s most exciting sectors.
The trio dive into everything from the growth of touring and adventure holidays to why travel agents shouldn’t be afraid of selling them. Expect laughs, insider industry chat, and some brilliantly funny stories – including Claire’s unforgettable “slip of the tongue” moment on a trip to Morocco and a shocking balcony incident.
They also chat about:
✨ Why touring isn’t just for coach holidays
🌍 Family adventures vs. kids’ clubs
💡 How TV shows like Race Across the World inspire travel trends
🎥 The importance of real, unpolished content in travel marketing
And, of course, Becky puts Claire through her paces with a tricky travel quiz — but who comes out on top?
