Mary Gostelow realises that offering authentic local experiences not only attracts and retains higher spending global travellers but satisfies, and makes money, for operators and owners. As well as producing two well-established real-news updates, Gostelow Report and Girlahead, she has a pair of weekly podcasts, Mary Gostelow Girlahead Podcast and World Travel Essential. She writes weekly for HOTELS and she is global ambassador for ILTM.
