This week on The Travel Business Unpacked podcast, host Meredith Calloway is joined by Christina Vieira of Showcase the World Travel. What began as a Disney-focused side hustle quickly grew into a thriving family travel business with a clear brand, strong systems, and a loyal client base. Christina shares how she built her business around busy moms, created a funnel that works, and turned marketing into her zone of genius.
In this episode, Christina explains why strategy matters more than instant gratification, how she grew through a pandemic-era launch, and what it really takes to scale with a team. She also talks candidly about balancing business ownership with motherhood, and why she believes in teaching kids to travel early and often.
They also explore:
How to design lead magnets and funnels that actually convert
Turning Disney clients into long-term, repeat travelers
The role of automation and email sequences in building relationships
Charging fees confidently in a crowded Disney market
Building a team that aligns with your core values
Why systems, boundaries, and trust are the keys to growth
From marketing brilliance to meaningful family moments, Christina’s story is a practical, inspiring look at building a business that supports both clients and your life.
