LTE’s Briana Lyda Named One of America’s Top 30 Under 30 Advisors

We’re thrilled to celebrate an incredible milestone for one of our very own! Briana Lyda, a dedicated and passionate travel advisor with Leisure Travel Enterprises, has been recognized as one of LuxuryTravelAdvisor.com’s 30 Under 30 Advisors. 

This prestigious recognition highlights the most promising young talent in the luxury travel industry — and Briana’s innovative approach, attention to detail, and client-first philosophy have truly set her apart.

From non-planner to travel expert

Briana’s journey into the travel industry isn’t your typical story. While many enter the business because they love planning their own vacations, Briana’s experience was the opposite. She says, “I never enjoyed planning my own trips and preferred someone else to handle the details.” What began as a personal preference soon turned into a passion for helping others experience the same stress-free luxury of expert travel planning.

Briana’s mission is clear: she wants clients to know that travel advisors aren’t just for the wealthy — they’re here to simplify the journey for everyone and ensure every detail is seamless. This belief has guided her career and helped build a thriving business rooted in trust, care, and personalized service.

A passion for personalized and experiential travel

Briana specializes in planning intricate, detail-heavy itineraries that deliver unforgettable experiences. One example? She is currently coordinating a complex trip involving international flights, a three-day pre-trip itinerary, inter-European flights, two Tauck tours, a flight to London, a train journey, and a three-day post-vacation in Bath. Her meticulous attention to detail ensures every piece fits together perfectly, creating stress-free journeys for her clients.

Another recent endeavor included organizing three back-to-back cruises to Australia and New Zealand for around 100 guests — a trip inspired by Briana’s passion for the welcoming locals, breathtaking scenery, and unique wildlife of Australia.

Her client base tends to skew older, with most prioritizing experiential, meaningful travel over material possessions. One trend Briana is passionate about is the growing demand for sustainable and responsible travel. Her clients value eco-friendly experiences and are eager to minimize their environmental footprint, even when it means paying a little extra for sustainability.

Innovation meets experience

Briana stays ahead of the curve by incorporating technology into her travel planning. Using AI tools, she finds unique tours and local dinner spots near her clients’ hotels — even in places she hasn’t visited yet. This innovative approach allows her to curate tailor-made experiences that feel local, personal, and effortlessly enjoyable.

Her philosophy is simple but impactful: “If you do right by people, you will be successful in this career.” For Briana, success isn’t about chasing numbers; it’s about creating authentic, memorable travel experiences that build long-term relationships with her clients.
