What do a wine lover, a horse girl, and a farm chick have in common? Not just the makings of a silly joke, but, a shared love for independent and experience forward hotels of course!
We are 3 colleagues turned true friends who have spent the last 6+ years working in the upscale tourism industry, expanding our experience in independent hotel loyalty, tours and experiences, and travel agency sales representation. With professional experience spanning PR, marketing, event planning, hospitality and tourism sales and client experience, we recognized our passion lies in the authentic experiences that travel provides and more often than not, that begins with the hotel.
We talk about travel at all times; whether for professional or personal reasons, it is the primary topic of conversation. Our travel styles and interests are diverse and cover everything from lux wellness retreats to multi-generational family trips but one thing stands out in each of our itineraries; authentic and local experiences that connect us to the destination.
But, how do we find that experience, how do we connect with a community as a tourist? For us, it’s all about the hotel—that gem boutique farm property where we can get a hands on lesson in beekeeping or that vineyard villa where we get to explore the vines with the sommelier to find our perfect wine pairing. And, while we search for these properties for our own trips, we came to the realization that these hidden gems deserve to be elevated and have their stories told to all those who travel like we do. And, we have just the audience for these stories, our network of elite US travel advisors, who are searching for properties just like yours for their luxury clients.
And, that is how The Kanda Collective was born—We are here to tell your property’s unique story to the best advisors in the industry.
