We are creating a premiere luxury agency that is prepared for brighter days ahead.”

And Whitebread added: “The travel industry has to be the greatest industry there is. To travel is to dream. During this time, it is important we remember that we will travel again – and clients will need Travel Advisors to help curate these experiences. Travel Advisors are truly dream makers. I am proud to join the Travel Edge family.”
