Your Instructor, Nikki.

I have often been the only female at the table when working for various tour operators.Through experience working with large, multi-national operators (Intrepid Travel, Atlas Obscura), I’ve gained the experience, and confidence, to translate between ‘how it’s always been’ and how tours can be pushed to be more innovative, more impactful, and more inclusive.I’ve worked with tour operators at all stages and sizes, all over the globe. If you’re looking to quickly level up to create a profitable tour business, then I’m happy to share everything I know!
