Mahima Tripathi and Fahd Karrakchou from the Morocco Tourism Board join Goway Trade Training Manager and Professor Goway, Don Forster, on the GowayPro Travel Tales Podcast to discuss the three different sides of Morocco: the “expected” Morocco for first-time travellers, the “deeper” side of Morocco for experienced Globetrotters, and the “real” Morocco, found from a local’s point of view.
Morocco is a destination where ancient traditions, vibrant, diverse cultures, and breathtaking landscapes come together to create an unforgettable travel experience, from the bustling souks of Marrakech to the golden dunes of the Sahara Desert.

The anticipation of travelling to a new destination is almost palpable. You've done your research, likely spoken to someone who has been there before, and begun daydreaming of your adventure. However, you're also aware of how your expectations may differ from reality.
 
We put this scenario to the test with our National Sales Manager for the US, Ian Smyth, who recently visited Kenya for the first time. We sat down with Ian to discuss how his expectations compared to the reality of his journey.
 
Join Professor Goway Don Forster and Ian Smyth on the latest episode of the GowayPro Travel Tales Podcast to learn how dream vacations turn into reality.

Spain, where appetite and astronomy meet. From the sizzle of pintxos in San Sebastián to the saffron glow of Valencia’s paella pans, Spain’s kitchens are laboratories of memory and invention.
 
But keep your eyes on the sky as well as the table. Spain will be the vantage point for two celestial headliners in 2026 and 2027, with solar eclipses sweeping overhead that will turn the famed Spanish sun into a moving twilight.
 
To guide us, we’re joined by Magí Castelltort, the Consul for Tourism Affairs, who will share how Spain is weaving gastronomy, culture, and these rare eclipses into unforgettable travel experiences.

The Pantanal is the world’s largest tropical wetland, stretching across Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay. It is also one of the world’s most extraordinary wildlife sanctuaries.
The Pantanal’s seasonal pulse, shaped by a dramatic cycle of floods and drought, creates a paradise for photographers: mirror-smooth blue lagoons, endless skies, and golden savannas sprinkled with giant water lilies and winding river channels. You can also expect to spot giant river otters, capybaras, caimans, tapirs, and a rainbow of birdlife, including the stunning hyacinth macaw. It is also the most reliable place on Earth to see jaguars in the wild.
Listen to the latest episode of the GowayPro Travel Tales Podcast to hear from two Goway Destination Specialists who just returned from the Pantanal and discover why Brazil and the Pantanal should be at the top of any South America itinerary.
