   Protecting Your Rental (And Your Business!) Isn't as Hard as You Think it Is with Buoy CEO Shea Unti

   Insurance may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about running a tour business...but understanding your coverage can help protect your guests, staff, equipment, and operations. In this episode of Growth Powered by FareHarbor, Rebekah talks with Shea Unti, CEO of Buoy, about what insurance can look like for marine rentals and charters. Drawing on his experience as a boat captain, tour operator, and marketplace leader, Shea shares why waivers are only one part of an operator's insurance strategy, how renters' coverage fits in, and what to consider when reviewing a policy.

   How a Pandemic Side Project Evolved into an 8 City, Locals-First Experience of Denmark

   Most tour operators think they need more tourists. Christoffer agrees, but also challenges operators to try building a local cult following first - he's turned that very idea into a beer walk business that now spans across eight cities. What started as a lockdown side project in Copenhagen became an outdoor experience locals actually book again and again: city stories, Danish craft beer, and a walking format designed to spark conversation instead of rushing people through bar after bar. Rebekah digs into how that simple concept became a scalable tourism business with 40-plus guides, strong repeat demand, and partnerships with some of Denmark's most recognizable breweries and cultural institutions.

   How Dig This scaled a one-of-a-kind attraction through data and innovation

   This epsidoe was recorded at the FareHarbor Spark conference in Las Vegas. Rebekah sits down with Ed, founder of Dig This, to talk about building and growing a one-of-a-kind tourism business. Dig This Las Vegas is a heavy equipment attraction where guests operate real earthmoving equipment in a five-acre adult-sized sandbox. Ed shares how the business started in Steamboat Springs, why he moved the concept to Las Vegas, and what other tour and activity operators can learn from his experience. The conversation covers practical topics for tourism operators, including choosing the right market, improving tourism marketing strategy, hiring for the guest experience, working with corporate groups, tracking marketing spend, and choosing booking software that supports online bookings and better business decisions. Ed also shares why Dig This returned to FareHarbor after trying other booking platforms and how he thinks about tools like analytics, online booking, Pay Later, Combos, and Dynamic Pricing as the business continues to grow. Tune in for a practical conversation on tourism business growth, tour operator marketing, guest experience, and building an activity business guests remember.
