Hosted by industry stalwart Fiona Dalton, who has more than three decades of experience in the travel industry, Luxury Unpacked will cover every aspect of high-end travel.

Luxury Unpacked is part of a series of podcasts being launched by Karryon, Australia’s leading industry travel trade website.

The move broadens Karryon’s already consumer-facing market, while remaining true to its core travel trade audience.

Karryon Founder Matt Leedham says the goal is to “create a series of episodes that will educate, inspire and help drive more bookings for luxury travel advisors and the trade at large”.

Other interviewees include: Captain’s Choice CEO Bas Bosschieter, Executive General Manager at Journey Beyond Alicia Triggs, Vice President and General Manager, Asia Pacific at The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection Seb Seward, and Spencer Group Managing Director Penny Spencer.

Luxury storytelling on the airwaves

Dalton says she’s excited to take on the role as host of the new podcast series.

“I’ve spent my career working with the people shaping this space – advisors, operators, brands – and I see Luxury Unpacked as a way to amplify those voices.

“I want to get under the hood of the stories that aren’t always told and advocate for luxury travellers, amplifying the voices of those shaping the space.

“We’ll be speaking to visionaries, disruptors, and those quietly creating wow moments. And we’ll go deeper into the trends, assumptions and tensions shaping this space.”
