  • Independent Advisor, Patrice Beasley, on Changing Travel Trends and the Advisor’s Role in Uncertain Times
    Mar 13 2026

    In the debut episode of You Came to the Right Place: TravelPulse Canada’s Podcast, hosts Natasha Lair and Jen Mallia sit down with Alberta-based Go Travel advisor Patrice Beasley to discuss what Canadians are booking right now.

    Beasley says she’s seeing more women taking big bucket-list trips, from Bali to Africa. “Single ladies are just being bold and taking those big trips,” she says.

    The conversation also explores softening demand for U.S. travel, growing interest in Canadian destinations like the Maritimes and Vancouver Island, and a shift toward experiential travel. Plus, the hosts share a few laughs about multi-gen trips, dream destinations and travel trends.

    This episode is sponsored by AmaWaterways.
