    Slow Travel, Big Spenders and a $2,499 Jar of Honey (Jo Saville Huka Honey Hive)
    Jun 10 2026

    Love Taupō GM Patrick Dault joins Jesse to talk slow tourism, why Germans stay 44 days while Americans spend the same in 10, and why visitors come to Taupō to live like locals, not tick boxes. Then Jo from the Huka Honey Hive returns with something special: a $2,499 jar of UMF 35+ manuka honey, rarer than 0.03% of all manuka honey ever tested, and half the price it fetches at Harrods.
