Riviera Travel launches “Ask The Expert” YouTube Series

#Traveltradetogether

Riviera Travel launches ‘Meet The Expert’ YouTube series with insider tips and travel advice for their most popular destinations.

Hosted by Travel Experts, Will Sarson and Linda Harris, the first episode takes a deep dive into visiting Japan, with South Africa and Canada next on the list.

Known for their carefully curated and varied itineraries, Riviera Travel has always prided itself on creating unforgettable experiences put together by their seasoned travel experts. Now, holidaymakers who are planning their next adventure or are looking for travel inspiration have the opportunity to dip into the team’s wealth of knowledge via a new YouTube series discussing some of Riviera Travel’s most popular destinations.

Hosted by Riviera Travel’s Product Director, Will Sarson, and Linda Harris, Senior Product Manager, the first episode takes an in-depth look at Japan by sharing valuable first-hand advice, travel tips, personal stories, key highlights, and detailed product overviews that bring to life this enduringly fascinating country.

Will Sarson says, “Our holidays are packed with incredible experiences, and sometimes a brochure page, facebook post, or website blog just isn’t enough to showcase everything included. We also have fantastic in-house expertise, and we want to make the most of it.This series allows us to demonstrate our deep product knowledge, while also giving our audience the chance to ask us questions.”

Travel agents and holidaymakers planning to visit the destinations featured all have the opportunity to ask the Riviera Travel experts questions that have been submitted via social media prior to recording. Upcoming topics will be announced in advance across the cruise and tour operator’s Facebook and Instagram pages, so viewers have time to send in their questions.

“We started with Japan because this is one of our favourites,” Lee Cross, Social Media Lead at Riviera Travel, explains. “Our Grand Tour is new and features some incredible destinations and USPs, like the Kurobe Gorge. Plus, Linda and Will are true experts, and we knew their insight would be a great starting point for the series.”

“Ask The Experts” episode one is available now on Riviera Travel’s YouTube channel.

Future episodes currently in production include an exclusive “Ask The Expert” featuring one of Riviera Travel’s top Tour Managers, in South Africa and filmed on location. Specials on Canada and New Zealand are also in planning; all popular itineraries in Riviera Travel’s escorted tours category. River Cruises, Ocean & Yacht Cruises, and European Tours will be covered as production of the series continues.
