Encore: Travel Advisor Danny Genung on the Power of YouTube Marketing


Listen Later

Note to listeners:  We're currently on hiatus until Spring  2025, but we're replaying some of our favorite episodes each week until we return. And you're listening to one of those "encore" presentations right now.

Danny Genung, the owner of Harr Travel, is a former middle school teacher-turned legacy travel advisor and a YouTube influencer in the cruise and resort space operating under the @HarrTravel channel. In addition to selling anywhere from 70-100 cruises per month, Genung is perhaps best known for his onscreen appearances during the cruise ship tour videos he posts daily for his 128,000 subscribers.

In this episode of Humans of Travel, Genung speaks on the history of Harr Travel, which was started by his grandfather. Listeners will hear Genung talk about what it was like working with his grandfather at a young age, and how he has developed the business since taking it over. For travel advisors who are interested in learning more about creating videos to level up their businesses, Genung offers advice on tech tools, audience engagement and more.

This episode is sponsored by Collette.
