About Us
Where it all started…
The Offloaded Podcast
Open to everyone, and accessible at any time, the podcast is co-hosted by Ann-Catherine Jones and focuses on our industry’s continued revival, as told by the individuals who are making it happen.
The Travel Community Hub (TCH) was established in 2020 when the warning signs were everywhere that our industry might be heading for a period of significant change. Richard began interviewing some of his industry contacts to discuss what was happening.
Slowly they gathered notoriety, and across the next several years became a source of knowledge, comfort and continued connection for a great many people.
Since then, TCH has held more than 250 types of events, most of them webinars, which have been viewed more than 50,000 times. Now as the industry moves forward, TCH remains to offer community, camaraderie and brilliant advice to those inside the industry, and those outside who may be considering a return through the Offloaded Podcast.
Meet our founder
Hi, I’m Richard Taylor
Richard is not only the Founder of TCH but a dedicated and committed member of the travel industry. He is known as a travel industry connector, webinar and podcast host, MC and community builder, working as Director of Membership & Industry Affairs for the Australian Travel Industry of Australia (ATIA).
He is also a very proud committee member of the Travel Industry Mentor Experience (TIME), a not-for-profit company that helps aspiring leaders of the Travel and Tourism industries accelerate their careers through mentoring.
A Heartfelt Thank You
Over the last few years, Richard has been delighted to be recognised for his efforts, including being a finalist in the National Travel Industry Awards of 2022, and a Travel Daily Editor’s Choice Award. All this was made possible by the numerous guests who have appeared on The Offloaded Podcast, offering their expertise and advice to others.
Thank you to each of them, as well as each of you who has helped make TCH the welcoming and insightful community it is today.
I am far from the only person that loves our industry and its people, and I would like to publicly thank each and every person who has offered support. If you haven’t joined us yet, know that everyone is welcome.
Richard Taylor
Founder of TCH
