About Lori Gold:

Lori has spent the past 16 years planning travel for her clients, with over 8 of those years living in the Mexican Caribbean. Her deep-rooted passion for the region has naturally evolved into a commitment to education—sharing her knowledge with fellow travel advisors to help them better understand and sell this destination with confidence. She spends her time exploring every corner of the Mexican Caribbean, from hidden gems to well-known resorts, participating in tours, and getting to know the destination inside and out. Through this hands-on experience, Lori has developed a suite of accessible resources and engaging classes designed specifically for travel advisors. She knows that a well-informed advisor has the power to elevate a client’s experience—and she’s on a mission to make that possible for as many advisors as she can.
