Why Small Businesses Matter in Ridgefield: Travel Destinations by Danielle

** Local Business Champion: Travel Destinations by Danielle ** Meet Danielle Duby Llamas, founder of Travel Destinations by Danielle. Q: Why did you start your own business? A: During my college years, I was majoring in Business and one of my college professors and I were discussing what my dream job looked like. I told him it was to have my own travel business since I was interested in the travel industry. As fate would have it, he advised me that they offered a travel, hospitality and tourism degree and encouraged me to speak with the Department head. It was that exact moment that I realized the perfect fit for me was to keep majoring in business while minoring in travel and tourism. Fast forward and here I am 20 years later! I am passionate about the travel industry and I love sharing my knowledge and helping others. The most satisfying part of my career is connecting with clients and helping them create their ideal trip (whether that be a honeymoon, family trip, or a check off their bucket list)! Q: What is your bestselling product/service? A: There are many services that I provide, just to name a few: * Completely curated travel Itineraries for International and Domestic destinations * Concierge services (ranging from dinner reservations, show tickets and anything in between), all-inclusive packages, all types of lodging (hotels, Airbnb's and luxury villas) * Destination weddings, bus rentals for small to large groups, cruises, sight-seeing tours etc.. all of which can be booked according to each client's individual needs. Furthermore, with over 20 years of experience in corporate and leisure travel, plus my Degree, my best product is myself due to my vast knowledge and experience. My clients find me pleasant to work with and are very thankful for the complimentary full service that I provide. It takes the stress and pressure off of them. I am with my clients from the very beginning until the conclusion of their trip! Q: How many local businesses do you use to support your business (products and services) and can you name them? A: I always try to shop local and support our small businesses in town whenever possible. As a local business woman, I know the importance of supporting our businesses in the community and I am happy to do that every chance I get. Whether it be meeting a business sales associate in town at a local coffee shop such as Tusk n Cup, Queen B or The Meetinghouse, or taking my clients for a working lunch at a local restaurant such as The Lantern, Barn Door, Venice, Southwest Café or Gallo (to name a few) supporting local is a priority!
