Boutique Travel Advisors Supports

WHAT SHE SAID – W Scottsdale

Boutique Travel Advisors supports the What She Said event to be held in Scottsdale (our local community) because we recognize the importance of empowering and amplifying women’s voices. This event provides a valuable platform for women to share their stories, insights, and experiences, fostering a sense of community and inspiring personal and professional growth. By supporting What She Said, we aim to contribute to the advancement and celebration of women, aligning with our commitment to inclusivity, empowerment, and creating meaningful connections.

What to Expect & Who You Will Meet?

The What She Said event at the W in Scottsdale is set to be an inspiring and empowering gathering hosted by the Modern Day Wife. It will feature a lineup of influential speakers who will share their stories, insights, and expertise on various topics such as entrepreneurship, leadership, personal development, and more. Attendees can expect engaging panel discussions, thought-provoking presentations, networking opportunities, and a chance to connect with like-minded individuals. The event aims to provide a platform for women to learn, grow, and be inspired in a supportive and inclusive environment.

The best part about the event is that its an opportunity to connect with other women, including your friends, new neighbors, the Modern Day Wife community visiting from near and far, and of course, your local travel agency – the founders, Angie & Janet and some of our amazing advisors, including Bri, Jackie, and Milica who will be joining us at the What She Said event in Scottsdale.

Meet the BTA Team

Some of our friends in the business also plan to join us, including our event collaborators, Virgin Voyages Regional Sales Manager Meagan and Gianna from Enchantment Resort in Scottsdale. We will have other preferred partners (who happen to live in Arizona) in attendance that you will meet, too! However, this event was not something they could sponsor but you will find them promoted on our social media channels (@travelbta.com) and blog.  We love telling our travel community about our favorite destinations, hotels, cruises, and land suppliers!

While Costa Rican Trails were unable to be here in person, we want to thank our Costa Rican friends who support our travelers throughout Costa Rica on itineraries for romantic getaways and family adventures and also our involvement in this What She Said event!  We also want to provide a special note of appreciation for Miss Teen Universe Hawaii, Kelsey Kroneberger, who asked if she could bring in-kind donations to auction at our sponsorship booth for the benefit Maui Wildfire Relief. Of course, we said Yes!

Ladies, let this be a reminder that it is the people behind us, our suppliers and team members (of course, our family & friends), who allow us to better serve our clients and the communities around us.

Enjoy the What She Said event! For most of us, it’s a Girl’s Night Out and what would we do without our besties!?!

OUR PARTNER EVENT SPONSORS

Virgin Voyages

We want to thank our preferred partner Virgin Voyages for its innovation and empowerment!  When it comes to traveling by sea, we appreciate your commitment to redefining the cruise experience. We love Virgin Voyages for redefining the concept of cruising and for creating a work-hard, play-hard atmosphere, which we believe was needed in the cruise industry. Virgin Voyage caters to the modern traveler, by offering a variety of culinary experiences in a made-to-order style and the activities range from music, variety shows, physical activities and adventure, casino, and other games. Their European itineraries may have you spending more time in a destination to explore your arrival or departure time. Their Caribbean destinations are great for reunions and even corporate incentives and team-building retreats. Does meeting with your besties count as a work retreat? They are our biggest supports in life, work, and everything in between. Whether it’s a girl trip, or you and your significant other getting together with your shared friends, Virgin Voyage is an experience beyond just a cruise! To learn more about how Virgin Voyages is setting it apart from other cruise lines, read our blog!

Costa Rican Trails
Costa Rica is a destination that has you returning for more. We inspire our clients to experience this adventurous yet culturally enriched environment, and many return, maybe this time with just their spouse or they bring their entire family. Our love for Costa Rica means we also have a lot of friends in this country! Our friends at Costa Rican Trails help us to ensure a safe and comfortable experience across Costa Rica, along with adventure and relaxation along the way! From thrilling outdoor activities like ziplining and hiking to immersive cultural experiences, we design itineraries that cater to the interests and ages of your children. For couples traveling together, we craft romantic and bonding experiences, such as private sunset cruises, secluded beach picnics, and couples’ spa treatments, allowing you to reconnect and create cherished moments in the beautiful backdrop of Costa Rica. Costa Rican Trails is an award-winning partner recognized by Conde Nast as a Top Travel Specialist, and they are also a Virtuoso Partner (which means added perks). We value Costa Rican Trail’s commitment to keeping Costa Rica sustainable and influencing others to travel sustainably.  Contact your BTA Advisor if Costa Rica is calling your name. Thank you, Costa Rican Trails for supporting What She Said, and of course, Boutique Travel Advisors and our clients.

Kelsey Kroneberger

Miss Teen USA Hawaii

A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO

KELSEY KRONEBERGER & HER SUPPORTERS

When Kelsey learned of our event through an invitation we sent her mom (a client but more of a friend), she quickly inquired about whether she could join and participate in a way that would benefit the Maui Wildfire Relief efforts.  As Miss Teen Universe Hawaii, Kelsey has learned how using her voice and platform can help others and causes in need. Kelsey put two and two together that as a travel company, we are just as to help raise funds for Maui Wildfire Relief.  With the help of family, friends and others in the community, Kelsey has already raised cash donations and in-kind donations for our Hawaii-inspired raffle prize, which will be auctioned to raise even more monies at What She Said.  Kelsey would like to thank the following people for standing behind her efforts:

Pat, Cara & Carter Kroneberger – Ageless Anatomy – Blue Buddha Collective – Boutique Travel Advisors – Club Pilates Paradise Valley – Health Cellution – I Lash of Scottsdale, Karen Kay – Make-up By Naomi – Star Limo – Taylor Made Aesthetics – The Taylored Beauty – The Colangelo Family – The Kidess Family – The Nava Family – The Nygaard Family – Westy’s Was LLC – Kara Dawson of Pucci Salon – Scarlett Nordstrom of Pucci Salon

When we come together as women, we serve as role models to our children and young adults like Kelsey, who are passionate about giving back and being her authentic beautiful self!  Thank you, Kelsey!
