NEIL EMMERSON
FOUNDER AND OWNER
Neil has spent 22 years working across the travel industry, from summer seasons managing watersport centers abroad, wintersport seasons, selling travel and advising businesses globally on regulations and technology.
After 11 years consulting with travel business owners and leaders, Neil saw an opportunity to make organised travel accessible to the people who already bring communities together.
That became S.W.A.T - a way for hosts to turn their passions and communities into unforgettable adventures, while leaving the complex travel arrangements to the experts.
Outside of S.W.A.T., Neil is happiest outdoors — gravity/ road/gravel bikes, windsurfing, SUP surfing and ski touring.
