I'm Joshua Harrell, your go-to guy in the travel industry. I am the Chief Revenue Officer at WorldVia. With a vibrant journey spanning over 25 years, I've dipped my toes in many diverse worlds—travel, entertainment, fashion, and cosmetics, to name a few.
Beyond the boardroom, I'm an avid thought leader and speaker, presenting insights and forward-thinking discussions at various travel industry events. I’m an accomplished author, having published books on time management and, most recently, Travel Marketeering: A Complete Guide for Starting (or Refreshing) Your Travel Agency, a book that aims to be a comprehensive resource for travel advisors looking to become experts in marketing their businesses.
I’ve also created content across many different mediums—live streams, radio, broadcast television, podcasts—you name it, and I know how to talk to the audience for it.
Finding innovative ways for teams to seamlessly marry their brand's unique stories with what customers genuinely seek has been quite an adventure.
I've polished my integrated marketing prowess and carved a niche as a pioneering brand and marketing maven. I pride myself on being a catalyst for positive evolution in the travel sector, always eager to challenge the status quo with bold and fresh ideas.
My role at WorldVia spans our host agency, WorldVia Travel Network, and our consumer-facing travel website, worldvia.com. It's been a thrilling ride, and our team continues to garner top marks—we’ve been named Host Agency of the Year three times, most recently in 2024.
Central to my work is fostering growth among travel agency owners and advisors, simplifying their operational needs to ensure success. At WorldVia, we collaborate with travel suppliers and unlock opportunities to enrich the travel ecosystem and benefit our members and the industry overall.
When I'm not navigating the travel industry's exciting tides, I'm soaking up life in Atlanta, Georgia, with my family. My journey is fueled by a profound love for travel and a relentless drive to innovate, making every day an opportunity to inspire and be inspired.
