All-Inclusive, Cruise and Group Concierge
I started Gino's Travel Agency in 2008 because of my passion for travel, and I wanted to establish a business when I retired.
I have over 20+ years of experience and a demonstrated history of working in the leisure travel & tourism industry. I bring knowledge, professionalism, ethics, and a record of integrity, treat every client with respect and provide impeccable service. In addition to my leisure travel experience, I also have 10+ years of experience as a government meeting planner in the federal sector.
I hold many destination certifications, including Belize, Hawaii, The Bahamas, Jamaica, The Middle East (Abu-Dhabi, Dubai, Qatar), Africa (Egypt), Las Vegas, and New Orleans. Cruise Line certifications include Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Regent Seven Seas, Oceania Cruises, Viking, Disney, and I just added Virgin Voyages to the list.
Working in the travel industry is one of the best businesses and is a fantastic way for me to travel; plus, I get to live vicariously through my clients by hearing about their adventures.
When you allow me to help plan your unforgettable vacation, you get the best of the best in a Travel Advisor like me.

Terry Branch is my Travel Agent for LIFE. She is professional, friendly, fair, transparent & she always gives a personal touch to everything she provides. Our trip to Dubai was my 2nd trip with her. My 1st was a cruise in December 2019. Her service exhibits the passion she has to serve her customer & help them make memories for a lifetime. She provides tons of information about your destinations, including a great get-together to meet your fellow travelers. One of her strengths is her listening ear. If there's something of interest to you, she gathers the information so you can make a well informed decision. You will NEVER go wrong with Terry.
