Ahead of the ITT conference (8-10 June), Railbookers Group President and Chief Executive Frank Marini talks TTG through his career, how a formative fam trip saw him vault from law into travel, the rise of rail travel, the vitality of the agency sector, and the untapped opportunities that exist to grow rail.

Frank, tell us a bit more about yourself, your route into the industry and your career, and what wisdom you'll be sharing at the conference.

I started in the travel industry in high school, working part-time in the mailroom at Collette Vacations before later moving into marketing as an intern while I was at university. I got a chance to go on a fam trip (yes, they even allowed the interns to go!) just as I was accepted into law school.
