Get advice on all that and more in this weekâs episode of Trade Secrets, where co-hosts Emma Weissmann and Jamie Biesiada are joined by Abbey Meyer, CEO of Sky High Travel in St. Louis, Missouri.

Travel takes on generative AI At Ensemble event, confronting the emergence of AI in travelTravel advisor Lorryn Langtonâs poem created with generative AI, made for a group headed to Puerto Vallarta and posted in their private Facebook page:
T'was the night before Mexico, in the Midwest so cold, the women were bustling, their spirits so bold. With tequila in mind and pools to explore, they readied themselves for adventures galore.
Sunshine awaited, a tropical delight, a respite from winter, a warm welcome sight. Catamaran sailings and whale spotting too, an escape from the cold, a dream coming true.
The bags were all packed, passports in hand, visions of palm trees and white sandy land. To Mexico they'd go, leaving winter behind, A getaway to unwind, a paradise they'd find.
Spa time awaited, relaxation in store, A pampering session, leaving stress at the door. In the warmth of the sun, with a breeze so divine, They'd sip on cocktails, letting worries decline.
So, on the eve of departure, excitement so high, the women embraced, beneath the moonlit sky. To Mexico they'd journey, from the cold they'd break free, a holiday adventure, just as it should be.

Trade Secrets is on a holiday break, but in the meantime, we wanted to share some of Travel Weekly and TravelAge Westâs other podcasts with our listeners. This weekâs episode is Humans of Travel, hosted by Trade Secrets co-host Emma Weissmann, featuring AmaWaterwaysâ Kristin Karst.
If youâve worked in the travel industry for any length of time, youâre probably familiar with Karst. The co-owner and executive vice president of river cruise line AmaWaterways, Karst is a staple at most travel industry conferences, perhaps best known for her bubbly personality, welcoming demeanor and close, personal relationships with travel advisors.
However, many travel industry colleagues may not know Karstâs unique backstory. She was born and grew up in Dresden, a German town along the Elbe River, in what was formerly Eastern Germany, under a regime that mostly kept Karst and her family isolated from the Western World.
In this episode of Humans of Travel, Karst reflects on a childhood spent under the Socialist Unity Party of Germany, and how the limited travel her family was able to do allowed her to gain an appreciation for all that Eastern Europe had to offer and fostered an early love of tourism.
Karst will also dive into what it was like when the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, and how she got her start in the travel industry as a leisure manager at American Express Travel, a role that she kept until she moved to Southern California and met Rudi Schreiner, her husband-to-be and the former president of Viking Cruises.
Listeners will hear Karst reflect on the early days of AmaWaterways, how she keeps her work-life balance in check and whatâs behind her unwavering positivity.
