OUR GUEST

Heather Christopher is the owner of Heather Christopher Travel Consulting; co-owner of Travel Pro Theory; and co-founder of Wanderlust Wedding Co. Through Travel Pro Theory’s eponymous podcast, Christopher (alongside co-host Kate Thomas of FIT operator North & Leisure) dives deep into important business topics such as “graduating” clients, charging service fees and more. It’s clear that Christopher is endlessly passionate about the travel industry — particularly as it pertains to her fellow travel advisors.  

In this episode of Humans of Travel, Christopher reveals how losing her father at a young age influenced her decision to enter the industry as an advisor. She also discusses how the advisor industry has evolved throughout her 14-year tenure thus far — particularly compared to when she was the youngest in the room — and what she believes are its major pain points (hint: the lack of a barrier to entry and marginal education).
