Carlson Wagonlit makes village a global entity
Carlson Wagonlit Travel/The Travel Authority is among the Top 20 travel management companies in the United States.
"Our staff has traveled to the far reaches of the globe; from Vietnam to Tasmania," says office manager Gail Carpenter. "We have a world map with push pins marking every destination to which we have traveled."
This extensive travel has allowed the Mariemont staff to become subject experts in many parts of the world. From a cooking class in Tuscany to a safari in Africa, the Mariemont branch of Carlson Wagonlit Travel/The Travel Authority is up to any travel challenge.
In the travel industry, experience matters and the Mariemont office presents a host of seasoned travel consultants. Jeannie Houston, an agent for more than 10 years, specializes in luxury cruises and personalized European vacations. Other office staff members include Karen Able, Robert Beiring, Cindy Berre, Amy Bishop, Sally Gibbs, Robert Gorman, Barbara Redemeier, Sylvia Ridenour and Nancy Schroeder.
Carpenter, having sixteen years in the industry herself, says, "Despite the current popularity of online travel, we believe that people still want the face to face contact and trust level that a local, experienced Travel Consultant can provide. We strive to exceed our client's expectations and make their experience exceedingly special in every way, from start to finish."
Office hours are Mon-Fri 9a-5:30pm, by walk-in or by appointment.
