Follow on Google News | Avondale Travel President makes prestigious list of Travel Agent's 30Under30Leigh Elizabeth Bryan named as emerging leader in the travel industry.
By: Avondale Travel "It is such an honor to be included in this list and it is something I have worked hard to achieve," said Bryan. "I appreciate everyone who has helped me along the way and thank everyone for the love and support they have shown to me and Avondale Travel." Bryan, 29, grew up in the travel business. Her father originally opened Avondale Travel Bureau in 1974, which expanded and grew to 48 offices before he sold it in 1989. He kept one office, Orange Park Travel, which Bryan joined in 2013. When Bryan joined the agency, it had only three employees and was close to closing its doors. Bryan helped to reorganize the agency and rebrand it back to Avondale Travel with two offices, eight full-time employees and six independent contractors. Bryan graduated from the University of North Florida with a degree in marketing and worked in a small business marketing company prior to joining the travel industry. Her experience in sales, marketing and customer relations management has helped her flourish as president of Avondale Travel. Bryan has also traveled extensively, which has given her firsthand knowledge of many of the locations she is booking for her clients. Bryan believes utilizing social media is vital to a modern day travel advisor. She uses the platforms to reach millennials by posting pictures of her personal experiences, providing reviews of destinations and offering suggestions for travel options. When Bryan isn't booking exquisite vacations for her clients, she is very involved in the local community. She currently sits on the Episcopal School of Jacksonville Alumni Board and participates in activities with Women Business Owners.
