What makes someone successful in dealing with the changes in roles, and locations, that a long career in the travel industry can bring? 

In this episode, TMR editor Daniel McCarthy talks  Chris Austin, the current chief sales officer at Explora Journeys, the new luxury cruise brand from the MSC Group. Austin’s 30-plus-year career in travel spans segments, from hotels (Austin spent almost two decades at Starwood Hotels) to established luxury cruise lines (he’s the former SVP of global sales and marketing at Seabourn). 

Austin speaks about his time growing up in Bournemouth, England, his most recent move from Seattle to Miami, and why he pursued a career in travel in the first place.
