Travcoa has added four new
positions in response to the increasing demand on its Custom Journey division.“We are thrilled to see such a response to our Custom Journey offerings,” said
Travcoa President Jerre Fuqua. “Delivering the same high level of attention to our
clients as we continue to expand is our top priority, so adding an experienced and
widely traveled group of professionals was very important.”

Most recently, Fatima Hindiyeh joined the company in June 2007 as a Custom Journey
planner. Born and raised in Brazil, Hindiyeh completed her master’s degree at Jordan
University in Jordan. She has traveled throughout the Middle East, Europe, Mexico,
the Caribbean and Central America and speaks four languages; Portuguese, Spanish,

In April 2007, Ashley Wilson was hired as a Custom Journey coordinator, bringing

Last month, Marie designed an itinerary combining all seven of the recently
announced New 7 Wonders of the World and Giza (an honorary award winner) into a
40-day Custom Journey for a couple who wanted to experience the New Wonders in one
memorable trip.

“This is a nimble staff,” said Fuqua. “Whatever travel dreams our guests have, the
Custom Journeys staff can make it happen.”

in deluxe accommodations, unique cultural encounters, privileged access at
destinations, private transportation and expert local guides. Guests are asked to
contact a Custom Journey Planner 9 to 12 months prior to their desired departure
date, and pay a planning fee, which is credited toward the final price of the
journey.
