ALEXANDRIA, Va.—August 29th, 2006—MacNair Travel & Cruises/American Express announced today the recognition of one of its Dream Trip Designers by Travel + Leisure (T+L) magazine. Trish Chandler, dream trip designer in MacNair’s vacation department, is featured for the fifth consecutive year in the September 2006 issue in its annual feature titled “T+L’s 2006 A-List” available today.
T+L magazine hand selects 125 top travel agents in the United States every year. The travel magazine editors pick the most knowledgeable experts who provide unparalleled service and essential advice, according to T+L.
Chandler also received the honor in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005. Of the magazine’s 125 A-List agents, Chandler is the only agent in the Washington, DC Metropolitan area featured as a destination specialist.
Chandler has been a Dream Trip Designer for just under 30 years and specializes in Alaska, Hawaii, the continental United States, Canada, rail trips, Great Britain and cruises. As a noted Canada destination expert, Chandler says the country offers natural wonders, an array of activities and great cities for travelers.
“Being a native Newfoundlander, this region is first on my list, followed by my next favorite Canadian hot spot, Banff and Lake Louise,” she says. “Jasper, Vancouver and Victoria are other favorite areas for my clients.”
Depending on what a visitor wants to do on their vacation, Canada offers year-round opportunities from skiing and sightseeing to hiking and fishing, Chandler adds.
MacNair Travel & Cruises/American Express President and CEO Michael MacNair said having Chandler’s ongoing recognition of her destination expertise and customer service skills are testament to the agency’s proven “Dream Trips by Design™” process.
“Trish exceeds her clients’ expectations and year after year, her clients return to her for her expertise,” MacNair says. “She goes beyond traditional travel planning by coordinating excursions, spa treatments, private transfers and other activities that provide unparalleled service and turns a vacation into a dream trip.”
