Just wanted to share that last week I was deeply humbled and honored to accept an award from Women in Travel & Tourism International (WITTI) as one of the Top Women in Travel and Tourism. There were more than 80 nominees from around the world and 7 Skalleagues were among 36 women recognized. During my remarks, I was delighted to be able to explain the tremendous impact of Micato Safaris. The event took place at the Gaylord Palms in Kissimmee, FL and was keynoted by President Obama.
