 Elisa Pagnotti Owner |
Elisa’s travel career spans over three decades. She began her career right out of high school at STA, as a “Gal Friday”. From there she was promoted to ticket agent, which was in the dark ages, prior to computers, when she actually issued around the world airline tickets by hand! Fifteen years later she and her partner, Bill Weber, became the third owners of the oldest travel agency on the Main Line. Tragically, in Jan. of ’08 her partner and life-long friend, died suddenly. She was left with the decision to close the doors in light of the loss, as well as the failing economy, or carry on the legacy they built together. She chose the latter. Her primary focus would be on her two passions, Italy and Jamaica. Because of her frequent travel to these destinations she has established personal contacts with key industry personnel which enables her to create memories of a lifetime for her valued clients. She had the opportunity to move Suburban Travel to Newtown Square and become an affiliate of Liadis Travel, a Virtuoso Agency located in Newtown Square where she been happily located since December of ‘09. |
