Annette Jackson
Owner of Touring and Cruises
With nearly 25 years of experience as a professional travel advisor and industry leader, I’ve dedicated my career to connecting people with unforgettable journeys and empowering others to succeed in the world of travel. From crafting tailor-made vacations to coaching new travel agents, my passion lies in both exploration and education.
Over the years, I’ve played a key role in launching two successful travel agencies, experiences that shaped my deep knowledge of the business. Five years ago, I took the leap to open my own travel agency, built around personalized service, industry mentorship, and a flexible approach to work-life balance.
At my agency, we specialize in custom travel planning, offering curated experiences for families, couples, and groups seeking seamless and meaningful travel. But beyond creating dream vacations, I’m dedicated to building a supportive environment for travel advisors looking to grow thriving, independent businesses.
As a travel industry mentor and business coach, I provide education and training for travel agents, helping them navigate systems, master sales strategies, and confidently serve their clients. My mission is to foster success in the travel space while encouraging a flexible work environment that honors both ambition and the freedom to prioritize family.
Whether it’s guiding travelers toward their next destination or mentoring new travel consultants as they launch their careers, I believe in building a travel business that reflects purpose, passion, and possibility.
If you’re a traveler seeking expert vacation planning services, or a new travel agent ready to step into your dream career, I’d love to connect. Let’s build the journey that matters—together.
