“The Caribbean is the first major trip I ever took out of the U.S., so it will always hold a special place in my heart.

However, being able to interview and interact with the executives who promote the islands has been my greatest joy.” – Ruthanne Terrero, Vice President of Content / Editorial Director, Questex Travel Group (Travel Agent)
