Krystal Aziz began her career as travel advisor before working her way up to the role of Director of Operations at Modern Travelworks.

She serves on the Marival advisory board and has spoken at industry events, coaching fellow travel advisors. Aziz is currently building Trazel, which is "a revolutionary CRM that will bridge the tech gap and propel travel agencies into a new era of innovation and success," Aziz said. In 2021, she won the Be Amazing Award by AM Resorts. Aziz is 30 years old. 

“Being named to the Travel Industry’s 40 Under 40 is a profound honor that reinforces my passion for driving innovation and empowering travel advisors," Aziz said. "It’s not just a recognition of the past but a testament to the future we can create together within this dynamic industry.”
