Episode Details

In this episode of Travel Agent Takeaways, Charlie chats with Di Schinella, local representative for Destination Vancouver.

This episode focuses on how Vancouver is preparing to host matches during the FIFA World Cup, and why the city is well suited to such a major global event. 

It outlines where matches will take place, and highlights Vancouver’s appeal, including its compact, walkable layout, strong public transport, and unique setting between ocean and mountains. 

The discussion also details key matches involving Australia and New Zealand, as well as the broader excitement and international attention the tournament will bring.

Beyond the games themselves, the episode explores what visitors can expect from the wider event experience, including fan festivals, local food and culture, and outdoor activities. 

It also provides practical advice for travel advisors.
