Bio 

Emily Melvin knew she needed to work in the travel industry after she studied abroad in New Zealand. She’s spent the last nine years working in the travel industry and is currently Sales Manager for TTC Tour Brands. Some of her accomplishments include co-hosting a group of travel advisors as a 40 Under 40 Familiarization trip to Turkey, becoming one of the founding members of Audley Travel’s Europe team and receiving awards from AAA and Audley Travel. Melvin is 34 years old.

"I am honored to be included in the Travel Industry’s inaugural 40 Under 40 list," Melvin said. "I appreciate TravelPulse for recognizing the contributions Millennials and Generation Z are making to the travel industry, and am grateful to The Travel Corporation for the opportunities they have provided, which helped earn me a spot on this esteemed list."

Industry Reference

"I fully recommend Emily to be a member of the inaugural 40 Under 40 list,” said Josh Hepp, Vice President of National Accounts for TTC Tour Brands. “Emily is a rising star at TTC and powerhouse within her territory. She is eagle-eyed, thoughtful, and constantly looking to solutionize and improve a process.”

“Since Emily started in 2022 as a brand-new sales manager, she has been thoughtful, strategic, and has been driving sales within the Northeast. This was particularly recognized by our partner, AAA Northeast, when the advisors voted for Emily and TTC Tours as the 2023 Partner of the year," continued Hepp. "This demonstrates the relationship that Emily has been able to build with her advisors in such a short time in her territory. In 2023, Emily was able to surpass her sales goal and is trending to surpass her 2024 goal. It makes [me] so proud when her accounts tell me how great she is to work with, which happens on a regular basis.”
