An Interview With Deidre Zacharias
How many years have you been selling travel?
I have been selling travel for approximately four years now, but my career in the hospitality industry started about 20 years ago.
I began as a Front Desk Agent at the Holiday Inn in Winnipeg before eventually moving back to my hometown of Prince Rupert. Once home, I worked with Enterprise Rent-A-Car for approximately five years. It was during that time that I was given the opportunity to join the Maritime Travel team.
Looking back, I am so glad I took that opportunity. I have really enjoyed growing within the travel industry, building relationships with clients, and being part of such a great team. I don't see myself going anywhere anytime soon!
What are your hobbies?
Reading, drawing, sewing little projects here and there, camping, swimming, and travelling.
What type of resort activities do you favor? ie water sports, lounging by the pool, etc?
I enjoy resorts that offer lots of activities and entertainment. Some of my favourites include foam parties, water aerobics, pool games and other fun activities around the pool. I also enjoy participating in trivia games and bingo.
When it comes to excursions, I love getting out and exploring, whether it's snorkeling, parasailing, sightseeing tours or other unique experiences. I enjoy staying active, trying new things and making the most of everything a destination has to offer.
What are your favorite destinations?
Portugal is by far my favorite so fare,
But I do love Punta Cana, and California.
