CARLSBAD, CA, February 2, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Nikki Nestor, President and Founder of WORLD CLASS Travel by Invitation, has been recognized by Cambridge Who's Who for showing dedication, leadership and excellence in deluxe travel services.
Having worked in her field for 44 years, Ms. Nestor has become an expert in global destinations and client relationships. She employs this expertise in her role as founder and president of WORLD CLASS Travel by Invitation, a full-service travel incentive company that provides meeting, planning and event management services. In addition to lending her talents to the creative and marketing side of the business, Ms. Nestor excels at creating supplier and client relationships and at matching clients together with the right destinations and resorts to increase return on investment and experience. Her stance on the importance of face-to-face meetings and performance rewards is that the largest single asset an organization has is their workforce. The team-building factor created by people spending time together in a stimulating environment creates an esprit de corps that justifies a program expenditure. She is proud to work side-by-side with a great staff and keeps abreast of the latest trends and destination knowledge in the industry by attending trade shows, meeting with suppliers from all over the world on a regular basis and experiencing destinations and properties first-hand.
Ms. Nestor's talents are many, including the ability to recall and apply information that is useful to her clients. She is adept at finding the right meeting places to reward top performers, and can set up memorable programs of any length anywhere in the world. Attributing her success primarily to her passion for the field and deep desire to enrich other people's lives, Ms. Nestor also credits her commitment to excellence and detail - and hard work.
Ms. Nestor received a Bachelor of Arts in political science and economics from the University of Colorado in 1965, a time during which opportunities for women were limited. Deciding that she wanted to work with people, she took a position as a service representative with the local telephone company. In this role, she had a lot of client contact and learned business applications, which gave her the background to move into a position as a sales representative with a
major airline. She was the first woman sales representative hired by this airline, and she has progressed in the travel industry ever since. She has garnered recognition from the Australian Tourist Commission, which presented her with an award for the Most Creative Event Held in Australia. In addition to acting as an advisor to luxury hotel/resort groups, destinations and cruises, she has served as a board adviser for the Southern California Chapter of the Society of Incentive and Travel Executives (Site SoCal) for over 4 years, Ms. Nestor currently holds the office of Vice President for Professional Development and Mentorship for 2012.
Ms. Nestor believes in giving back, and each year her company chooses a specific charity as a give-back to the community. WORLD CLASS Travel by Invitation has embraced the concept of corporate social responsibility by hiring a consulting expert to assist clients who wish to give back in conjunction with their travel programs. She also has been integrally involved in Site SoCal's Holiday annual fund-raiser to benefit three grassroot children-oriented charities which traditionally raises between $140,000 to $160,000 in a two-day event. Looking forward, she plans to do more consulting and mentoring to help the next generation in the industry. Her future plans to develop a program to engage the "next generation" to choose the incentive & meetings industry for their careers by engaging them in meaningful panel discussions at colleges and universities and working with the Site SoCal's Emerging Leaders Program.
