Ralf Garrison is a destination travel industry veteran, generally recognized as a thought-leader, innovator, and serial entrepreneur who has built and sold various businesses over the years, including Mountain Travel Symposium and Destimetrics.

Most recently, as the COVID virus became a pandemic with related economic consequences, Garrison helped establish Insights Collective, a pandemic economic think tank, as a platform to help decision-makers in the destination resort travel industry track the forces at play that will make up a new reality and separate the winners from the losers.

Known both for his research analytics and storytelling, Garrison is most likely to be found at the confluence of research data, analytics, and narrating the resulting stories. His presentation style has been described as “a natural storyteller, witty, sometimes irreverent, but rarely boring.”
