Elite Travel International is run by Stacy Small, a 15-year veteran of the travel industry. She has personally evaluated every one of the many international luxury hotels, resorts, and spas in her files, which she then can wholeheartedly recommend as a fit with her travel clients' vacation wishes. And she's been to an amazing amount of these upscale resorts and spas herself; she is one of the most well-traveled travel agents I've spoken with.
As busy as she is maintaining her high quality profile in an already crowded business, Stacy finds the time every year to organize and run a charitable travel auction through her website. Last year, her Trips for Cancer 2006 luxury travel auction offered many vacation packages at upscale hotels and resorts. The auction raised $90,000, all of which went to the Leukema & Lymphoma Society. She raised more money for cancer research than any other woman that year, making Stacy Small the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's National Woman of the Year.
For 2007's Trips for Cancer luxury travel auction, Stacy Small has amassed even more high-end vacations, resorts and hotels around the world. She's not trying to be the National Woman of the Year again this year, but with 100% of the proceeds going to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, you can be sure she'll be Woman of the Year to many people who will benefit from research enabled by Trips for Cancer 2007. Her commitment to doing what's in her power, to help fund cancer research, is more than admirable. Those of us in the travel biz could learn a lot from Stacy Small.
