Talking Tourism Episode #67 - What exactly is Experiential travel? With Experiential Tasmania, Sara Barns

Sara  and James Barnes are building a business based on the principle of experiential travel - personalised, intimate experiences where visitors feel genuinely connected with places, products and people. 

Their tour business, Experiential Tasmania, takes visitors behind the scenes with some of the our leading producers - meeting the makers, sampling the producer and visiting sites not usually available to the general visitor. 

Sara's vision is shaped by her background working as a high end tour guide in Tasmania, and interstate, and with uber-premium lifestyle brand, Abercrombie & Fitch. 

Sara outlines her aspirations for Tasmania as an experiential tourism, and the opportunities for start-up businesses in a post-COVID visitor market.
