Earlier in October, our CEO Tony Bridgewater and Head of Sales Josh Mayer crossed the pond to exhibit at the Arival 360 Conference in San Diego. The four-day event included countless hours of networking and meetings, some eye-opening sessions run by Douglas Quinby and the Arival team, and many breakout sessions on various topics. Josh was a presenter for one of these sessions, offering his perspective on how to Choose the Right Technology for your tour business. “𝑨𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒂𝒍 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒖𝒑 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒎𝒚 𝒇𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔, 𝒊𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒃𝒍𝒚 𝒘𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒓𝒖𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒆𝒆 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝑼𝑺 𝑶𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒔 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒉𝒏𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒚 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒄𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒆𝒚𝒆-𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈!” - Josh Mayer “𝑨𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒂𝒍 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒂𝒏 𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒖𝒔, 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑𝒔 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒅𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒈𝒍𝒐𝒃𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚.” - Tony Bridgewater We thank the Arival team for organising such a fantastic event and everyone who visited our booth and participated in our session! #Arival360 #TravelTech

Here’s an intriguing bit of trivia: Which sector of the Australian tourism industry grew during the pandemic? Stumped? It was agritourism — weekend getaways to nearby ranches, farm cafes, educational tours and so on. Agritourism is still growing, even though the pandemic is over. In fact, its value to the Australian economy is expected to reach $18 billion next year. On Oct. 11, the Australian Regional Tourism Ltd (ART) Convention in Mackay will host a forum on agritourism, offering insights and helpful tips to farm operators who want to attract travelers and grow revenue. Well worth checking out. #Travel #Australia #Agritourism https://bit.ly/4fZm0Gi

The indigenous owned-and-operated tourism sector in Australia is thriving, and Respax Tour Management Software client Kakadu Tourism is a great example of its success. This indigenous-owned company located in Australia’s Top End offers guided tours of Kakadu National Park from land, water, and air. It offers accommodations for every taste, from the dazzling Kakadu Crocodile Hotel (yes, it is shaped like a crocodile) to the luxury villas of Cooinda Lodge and peaceful environs of Yellow Water Campground & Caravan Park. We’re proud to work with Kakadu Tourism — check them out for an unforgettable outback holiday.    The United Nations’ observed International Day of the World’s Indigenous People earlier this month, but in Australia (or: at ResPax and Livn) we celebrate and appreciate our indigenous population every day! https://bit.ly/3WMTG1k  #IndigenousTourism #Tourism

Travelers with disabilities spent $13.5 billion in Australia in 2021, yet finding tours and accommodations that are accessible can be difficult. To help, Respax Tour Management Software integrates the Sunflower icon into its platform, which allows tours to showcase their inclusiveness and users with non-visible disabilities to discreetly signal special needs during booking. The Sunflower icon is a globally recognized symbol of hidden disabilities that may not be obvious to others. Offering this service underscores ResPax’s commitment to “Tourism for All.”   #Tourism #Sunflower #Disabilties  https://bit.ly/3WV3wQ2

In a highly competitive, tech-savvy tourism marketplace, tour operators and tourist-attraction companies can’t afford to fall behind the tech curve.

At ResPax, we never leave our clients out on a limb. All of our services include face-to-face training, system documentation, and personalised support (as in “real-person” help). All our systems and services are monitored 24/7 to prevent downtime. And our analytics give clients the insights they need to craft effective marketing campaigns that increase bookings.
