OLIVER GREEN
AI-powered marketing, growth systems & consulting — for tour and experience operators who want to scale without losing their soul.

I don't bolt AI onto your marketing. I rebuild how travel brands grow around it.
I've been on both sides of the counter — co-founding Carpe Diem Tours and running its marketing, operations and guest experience, then building Create Circus, a Shopify and marketing agency. That mix of operator instincts and marketing craft shapes everything I do: AI and automation are creative allies, never a replacement for the human stories that make people travel. Growth should be smarter, not just louder.

Operator instincts bring your growth into sharper focus
( What I do )
Four ways I plug into your growth.
Direct booking growth
Less OTA dependence, more guests booking with you. Funnels, conversion, e-commerce and email flows tuned for how travellers actually decide — measured against bookings, not vanity metrics.
AI & growth consulting
Practical AI for tour operators: an honest map of where AI actually helps your operation — and where it doesn't. Strategy, tooling audits and automation roadmaps grounded in years of running a tour business, not theory.
Speaking & workshops
Keynotes and hands-on training on AI, tourism and growth strategy — from the Arival stage to your team's meeting room. Real workflows, real tools, real deliverables — not slideware.

( How I work )
When operators and AI combine, growth takes a new shape.
No six-month discovery phases, no agency hand-waving. I work directly with founders and senior marketing leads of proven products — short loops, honest conversations, and systems your team actually keeps using.

( About Oli )
An operator first, a marketer second, an AI nerd throughout.
( Common questions )
Questions operators ask.
- How can AI help tour operators?
- Used well, AI helps tour operators win more direct bookings and run leaner: smarter content and SEO so you get found, automation that strips out admin, and better use of your booking data. I focus on practical AI for tour operators — the few tools and workflows that actually move bookings, not the hype.
- Do you offer AI consulting for tourism businesses?
- Yes. I work with tour operators, activity providers, attractions and travel brands on AI in tourism — from a quick audit of where AI genuinely fits, to building the marketing and automation systems and training your team to run them.
- What does a tour marketing expert actually do?
- I help tour and experience operators grow bookings by combining classic marketing — SEO, content, email, conversion — with AI and automation. Think of it as a fractional CMO for tours, activities and attractions, with an operator's understanding of seasons, margins and guests.
- Who do you work with?
- Founders and senior marketing leads of tour operators, activity providers, food and walking tour companies, attractions and experience brands — from single-city operators to multi-destination travel brands, worldwide.
- Can you help us grow direct bookings and rely less on OTAs?
- Yes — it's one of the most common reasons operators call me. We build the funnels, content and email systems that bring guests to book direct, while keeping OTAs as a channel rather than a dependency.
- How do we start working together?
- Book a call. We'll talk through your product, your market and where AI and marketing can actually move the needle — operator to operator, no pitch deck.
