What makes Jennifer Strong and Angela Burns with Strong Travel a good neighbor?What if your next great trip started with a neighbor who knows the world by heart? We sit down with Jennifer Strong and Angela Burns of Strong Travel, a Dallas-based, grandmother-founded luxury agency that has spent 50 years turning complex plans into smooth, memorable journeys. From a legacy built at a local desk to a network that spans cruise lines, hoteliers, and guides, they explain why expert advisors still matter—and how small details transform a good itinerary into the trip you’ll talk about for years.We dig into the biggest industry myth—“no one uses travel agents anymore”—and replace it with real-world wins: saved time, better perks, smarter routing, and calm support when disruptions hit. Jennifer and Angela map the most in-demand destinations right now, with Italy leading summer travels and Spain, Portugal, and France close behind. For winter, they spotlight Japan’s rare mix of city energy and mountain powder, alongside Caribbean islands that deliver quick sun and easy access. Their case for cruising is practical and persuasive: unpack once, see multiple ports, sleep in the same bed, and capture a wide slice of the Mediterranean without repacking stress.Strong Travel also opens up about how a legacy brand stays current—local magazines, community events, a content-rich website, social storytelling, and an annual team conference centered on AI and the tools reshaping planning. Underneath the tech is the core promise: personal connection. The team learns how you like to travel, then designs routes, pacing, and experiences that match your rhythm. Whether it’s a multi-country sweep, a family cruise, or a city-and-ski winter in Japan, you get efficiency without losing depth—and a steady hand if plans change.Subscribe for more local stories from operators who measure what matters.
