In this week’s episode, we’re joined by Adrienne Clark (President & COO) and Caleb Yaryan (Chief Product Officer) of Xplorie, a trusted partner for vacation rental operators looking to enhance guest satisfaction while gaining a competitive edge.
For nearly 30 years, Xplorie has been connecting lodging providers with local attractions in more than 70 destinations across the U.S., creating seamless, curated activity experiences that guests value. But more than just a perks program, Xplorie is a strategic tool that helps property managers attract bookings, improve guest loyalty, and offer real hospitality that extends beyond the front door.
Adrienne and Caleb share their personal paths into the industry, the philosophy behind Xplorie’s business model, and the behind-the-scenes work that goes into ensuring every activity meets their high standards of quality and service.
We discuss:
1️⃣ How Xplorie supports PMs in creating meaningful guest experiences
2️⃣ Why activities are a powerful differentiator in a crowded market
3️⃣ Trends in traveler behavior post-COVID, from outdoor demand to last-minute bookings
4️⃣ How Xplorie helps guests and operators when things don’t go as planned
5️⃣ The importance of local partnerships and activity curation
6️⃣ Real-time integrations, guest support, and why call centers still matter
7️⃣ Why Xplorie limits the number of partners per market
8️⃣ What’s ahead for Xplorie as they approach their 30th anniversary
Whether you're looking to stand out without lowering rates, boost shoulder season bookings, or create memories guests will talk about long after check-out, this conversation is packed with actionable insights you won’t want to miss.
