My name is Becky Harris and my journey in the Luxury and Adventure Travel Industry over the past 20+ years has been its own real-life adventure with lashings of experience and learning.

In 2001 I set up a successful Virtuoso/Traveller Made DMC in Mexico and Central America called Viaventure. More recently I founded a boutique Tour Operator called Curious Travel and developed a B2B Marketing platform called SquirrelFish and I am delighted to now be running Travel Kinship.

I started life as a Mechanical Engineer in the UK but then broke away to work and travel across Latin America. In 1998 I worked for Save the Children in Colombia and Peru and then back-packed from Peru to Canada. In 2000 I bought a car in Guatemala and drove thousands of miles through Belize and the USA up to Toronto in Canada. My car was called Priscila and she was stuck in 3rd gear for a while in Mexico - I worried it was going to be a slow trip!

I believe greatly in the power of strategy, technology and relationship-building in business. These relationships and the way we communicate are however ever changing and we must adapt. Utilising more traditional strategies alongside new technology and digital phenomena such as digital marketing, content marketing, intranets & dynamic pricing has got to be the way forward.

Travel Kinship works with experience and service-focused tourism entities around the globe whose work has a positive impact on protecting the local environment, heritage and economic sustainability of each region.
