Turbulence Ahead: Navigating Crisis in Travel PR

Welcome back to the Embargo Podcast, the UK’s leading travel PR podcast, brought to you by the Travel PR Association and The Travel Podcast Agency. In this fourth episode, we’re diving into one of the most critical topics in the industry: crisis management.

From the 2004 tsunami to the Icelandic ash cloud and, more recently, the Covid pandemic, the travel sector is no stranger to disruption. So how can PR professionals prepare for the unpredictable? And what steps should we take when a crisis hits?

Host Howard Salinger is joined by three seasoned experts: 

- Frances Tuke, Account Director at LOTUS and former ABTA PR Manager www.wearelotus.co.uk/

- Ian Benjafield, Head of Communications at Ambassador Cruise Line www.ambassadorcruiseline.com

- Sam Day, Vice President at FINN Partners www.finnpartners.com/uk/

Together, they share their insights, experiences, and real-life case studies on managing communications through turbulent times.

Plus, we kick things off with our listener-favourite travel sound guessing game, What In The World Is That?, this was the hardest one yet! 

We finish with a spotlight on Sam Day’s recent win at The Baubles 2024.

Stay tuned for top tips, fascinating anecdotes, and the answer to our mystery travel sound…
