Speaking to us this week is Omar Wahba (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/omar-wahba-107107137\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>), founder and CEO of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/anchortheworld_\/?hl=en\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Anchor<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>My name is Omar Wahba, and I\u2019m the founder and CEO of Anchor<\/strong>, a travel agency that specializes in adventure travel. We offer our clients curated travel experiences with activities that explore the whole country, whether on land or by boat. We\u2019re not here to just book flights or your hotels, we want to maximize travelers\u2019 experience of each country to make it stand out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>I graduated from AUC with a degree in business finance and international business, but a<\/strong><strong> huge part of my academic experience was at Semester at Sea.<\/strong> I took a gap semester at AUC and attended Semester at Sea, a four-month program where you live on a boat and travel the world while you attend courses taught by Colorado State University. Every week I was in a different country \u2014 we traveled to 13 different countries in Europe, Africa, South America, and North America. It was the most impactful period of my academic career.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>We\u2019re a family of travelers.<\/strong> I was interested in traveling even before Semester at Sea. My parents run Tutankhamun Tours, a company that\u2019s been around since 1972 and they love to travel, so it\u2019s been in my blood since I was born. I used to travel for fun with friends, and because I played water polo competitively, we would also travel every six months to compete. All of these experiences made me very passionate about traveling.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Entering the market was easy for me given my background, but it took time for people to<\/strong><strong> know who we are and why they should travel with us.<\/strong> Of course, our friends and immediate social circles knew us off the bat, but widening that horizon and establishing ourselves took more time. The most important aspect to our growth was word of mouth. I still believe that it\u2019s the strongest marketing tool at our disposal, especially in Egypt. Even if you don\u2019t have social media, if people have a good experience with you, that\u2019s your advertisement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What sets us apart from other agencies is that all of us at Anchor are experienced<\/strong><strong> travelers.<\/strong> I\u2019ve personally been to 84 countries. We don\u2019t plan a trip for our clients unless we know the place well and have experienced the country first-hand. We go to each country and study it very well. If we want to offer trips to Japan, we go there and explore it for ourselves. What activities can we offer here? What are the hidden gems that will set our trip apart from someone else\u2019s?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>If I could change anything about the industry, I would change the culture around travel.<\/strong> People are used to traveling within their comfort zones. They don\u2019t want to gamble by traveling to new places and trying new things, even though they might be missing out on better experiences. Traveling should be about exploring, about adventure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>In five years, I want Anchor to be the go-to for anyone who wants a good travel<\/strong><strong> experience.<\/strong> We want people\u2019s thought process right after \u201cWe want to go on a trip\u201d to be \u201cLet\u2019s check out what trips Anchor has organized this month.\u201d And at that point, we intend to be launching two trips a month. On top of that, we want to be steadily working alongside organizations. We already organize trips for 15 international schools, but I want us to cross the 20 school mark by then.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The recent economic challenges almost pushed us off course.<\/strong> I founded Anchor in 2018, and by the time we had landed on our feet, covid hit. Travel was the most affected industry, and it was the last to recover. And then came the currency devaluation. People, especially our target demographic, weren\u2019t thinking about travel \u2014 they were worried about being able to buy a car, buying a house, and even just buying groceries or paying EGP 2k every time they went out to eat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>But if I learned one thing from these obstacles, it was how to pivot on the fly.<\/strong> It\u2019s the most important part of starting a business, but especially in the travel industry. The pandemic, travel restrictions, and currency devaluations are why we started offering island hopping trips in Egypt. Before the pandemic, these islands didn\u2019t even exist on our radar. But now it\u2019s a trendy and fun trip to take, even after some of these issues have dissipated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>You can\u2019t survive in the travel industry without learning to adapt at the drop of a hat.<\/strong> You could organize the trip only for the flight to be canceled last minute. You have to adapt, and you have to respond quickly. You need the flexibility to do it quickly. The industry is about constant crisis management. You may feel like you\u2019ve hit a wall, but a dead end is never a dead end. It\u2019s not an option. You need to find a solution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>But at the end of a trip, you get messages from people thanking you, and it makes it<\/strong><strong> worth it.<\/strong> It\u2019s rewarding to see people happy, and knowing that your hard work is paying off not only in the satisfaction of your current clients, but also in interest from future ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anchor is a travel agency that specializes in adventure travel<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":622350,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"single-feature.php","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","ep_exclude_from_search":false,"_primary_brand":0,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7357],"tags":[8632,633,1530,8631,95,123],"brand":[],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"class_list":["post-622349","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-founder-of-the-week","tag-anchor","tag-enterprisepm","tag-founder-of-the-week","tag-omar-wahba","tag-startup-watch","tag-startups","wpautop","entry"],"acf":{"mongo_id":"69b0b62b-b61e-41e2-af29-0a679e0edb67","order":"11","is_powered_by":false,"story_type":"1","photo_url":"https:\/\/ent.news\/2024\/6\/226.jpg","photo_position":"below","homepage_title":"","full_issue_title":"","related_issue":[622333],"teaser":"Anchor is a travel agency that specializes in adventure travel","voice_url":"https:\/\/s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/ent.news\/audio\/2024\/6\/.c181a0d2-9dc2-4eda-8ee5-472bb3528c36.mp3"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
