In a recent, widely discussed interview, serial entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk dropped a truth bomb that should make every marketer in the experience economy stop dead in their tracks:

If you’ve attended a single industry conference in 2026, you already know the theme. From the keynote stages to the breakout rooms, the obsession is singular, deafening, and unavoidable: Artificial Intelligence.

With "friendly fraud" now accounting for over 75% of travel industry chargebacks, operators need a proactive defense strategy before the summer rush begins. Here are the three most effective ways to secure your payments and win disputes in 2026.

Every tour operator knows the feeling. You’ve just finished a record-breaking weekend. The sun was out, the guests were smiling, and the reviews are starting to roll in. Then, you open your merchant portal and see it: The Chargeback.

The biggest hurdle managers face is the "I don't have time" myth. As we gear up for the season, it’s time to change the narrative: your guides are already taking photos—they’re just doing it on the guest’s phone.

Spring is the time to "set and forget" your marketing triggers so you can focus on scaling during the summer rush.

As we head into the busy season, remember: you aren’t just a guide; you are a memory-maker. Guests come for the activity, but they stay for the feeling of the experience.

Beautiful, Customizable, and Built for Better Delivery

We're excited to announce a complete redesign of how Fotaflo sends emails to your guests. We've rebuilt our email design and delivery from the ground up to give you more control over your guest communications while improving deliverability so your emails actually reach your customers' inboxes.

In the European travel landscape, the "High Season" is a whirlwind of activity that often ends in a "Silent Handshake." A guest completes a breathtaking tour of the Scottish Highlands or a private tasting in Bordeaux, shakes the guide's hand, and walks away.

There is a massive "retention blind spot" in the travel industry. Too often, we treat repeat guests and referrals as happy accidents. But what if you could identify exactly who is "shouting from the rooftops" about your business in real-time?
