IVY manages our local recommendations department. She researches the reputation of every local restaurant, store, hotel, spa or other business that we recommend to our customers. She listens to returning travelers comments on our recommended local businesses.

You can expect to hear from Ivy when you return from a trip you planned with us. She will want to know what you thought of the accomodations, food, and places that you visited. Sometimes she just runs herself ragged.
