Lucia Ruffolo
My journey in the travel industry began in 1980 with Alitalia Airlines in New York City, where I started in the reservations department before being promoted to the Manhattan ticket office. Since then, travel has been more than just a profession—it’s been my passion.
In 1993, I transitioned into a travel advisor role, and just two years later, I co-founded my own travel agency. By 2000, I embraced the flexibility and personalized service that comes with being an independent travel advisor, a role I’ve proudly held ever since.
Today, I specialize in worldwide corporate travel, providing tailored solutions to busy professionals and businesses. Many of my clients have been with me for decades—a testament to the trust they place in me to handle every detail of their travel with care and precision. I approach every itinerary as if I were planning it for myself, ensuring no detail is overlooked. What I love most about this career is the lasting relationships I’ve built. While it may sound cliché, my clients truly do feel like family—and that’s the standard I bring to every trip I plan.
