Meet Glenn and Amanda Goring and their two daughters, Brooklyn and Lexington, owner/operators of a successful luxury travel company called In-Style Travel. Book accommodation for dad and daddy, make travel plans and act as a travel concierge for the luxury travel packages on offer. Meanwhile, her two daughters work as travel agents and vloggers on their company's YouTube channel, LittleMissTravelers. Together, this family travels in style and wants to show the world that luxury travel can be an incredible experience for everyone, including black families with young children.
Two licensed pharmacists, Amanda from New York and Glenn, originally from Canada, met while attending the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy. The couple has been married for 13 years.
They are travel enthusiasts and enjoyed traveling together before becoming parents. To their dismay, the first travel agent they met after the birth of their first daughter, Brooklyn, tried to convince them to travel with their two-month-old. The travel agency immediately informed the new parents of the services the resort would not provide for their stay. Undeterred, the couple decided to plan their trip and take part in a life-changing travel experience.
Thinking of all the other black parents who might be discouraged, Glenn and Amanda wanted to officially launch In-Style Travel to organize luxury travel packages specifically for black families who want to enjoy international and domestic travel with children of all ages. . . .
Amanda, a professional speaker and experienced self-care thought leader, has listed many family travel destinations with her speaking schedule. Understanding this space led families to customize luxury experiences and retreat packages for wellness entrepreneurs and health and wellness coaches under the In-Style Travel brand. Amanda has also become a certified member of CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association), Disney, Marriott, ACCOR Hotels, among others.
After launching his travel style brand on a grand scale, a global pandemic challenges families' best intentions in 2020. Dramatic decline in world travel hurts family's travel business However, they continued their journey. With a laptop and a Wi-Fi connection, families can stay connected to what they need to travel the world, documenting and reporting how the pandemic is affecting travel and the travel experience.
They returned to the question; The same question is usually on everyone's mind. How in the world do you deal with children like that? How is it possible? The family launched the #LittleMissTravelers video blog and social media presence, where the braided, ponytailed little black girl chronicles and shares her experiences on YouTube for her subscribers, followers and friends.
Amanda explains: “Their education has always been a priority. So as we closed schools across the country during the pandemic, we made sure girls kept doing their homework. Also, as part of each trip, we schedule time with local teachers so they can teach our girls about the local culture. In the Maldives resorts, their Kids Club teachers teach the children the language and we schedule and hire a Thai language teacher for education at our villas in Thailand. Travel is one of the best forms of education. The girls now attend a multicultural school that guides our family's travel itinerary and prepares them for the lessons they must take when traveling abroad.
In-Style Travel offers luxury accommodation from exclusive and exotic 6 and 7 star locations as well as 5 star suppliers worldwide. "We know this is your dream vacation," Amanda said. "We organize your route and provide your driver. We also provide you with the information you need. We tell you who the US consulate is and put you in touch with officials at your destination. We are an on-demand service. We aim to provide families with a truly seamless experience. We require air travel coverage with your booking. So, hypothetically, if you miss your flight, you will get credits for the next flight. We have it for you before your trip. When you're there, we're with you every step of the way. And we sent you a gift! We don't just send invoices and tickets; We personalize your launch and deliver a premium experience with a high touch. That's why 4 out of 5 customers come back as repeat customers."
And, according to Amanda, In-Style Travel points out that their travel accommodations are classified as luxury because of the misconception that luxury travel experiences are not for children. "We are here because luxury can be for anyone", he commented.
