| | | | Millennials in Travel® The future of the travel industry! December 2023 Newsletter | | | | Dear Guest,
As 2023 comes to a close, we can't help but reflect on how grateful we are for another year dedicated to building this incredible community of travel industry professionals. Millennials in Travel celebrated our 10th birthday this year and continues to grow and evolve, demonstrating that our travel community just keeps getting better with age.
We are looking forward to a new year, filled with exciting opportunities for you, our members, with more FAM opportunities, new chapter launches (hello Atlanta!), improvements to our membership program, and so much more! Stay tuned for all the updates coming to your inbox in the new year.
Before we bid farewell to 2023, we hope you will take a moment to view our online silent auction to support those impacted by the wildfires in Maui. This is a worthwhile cause and a great way for you (or someone you know!) to score some incredible prizes. Please read on for full details!
We hope everyone can take the next couple weeks to rest, recharge and prepare for an exciting year ahead and we wish you a holiday season filled with friends, family, love, laughter, and safe travels.
Happy Holidays!

| | | | Leadership Spotlight: Nick Hofstadter
Officer of Events, LAX
| |
Nick officially started his travel career in 2014 upon getting his Masters in Hospitality and Tourism from NYU, but travel was always part of his personal and professional development. A jetsetter from a young age, this native Angeleno has always been fascinated with airplanes, airports, hotels, world cuisines and foreign languages. He studied abroad seven times from high school through grad school, and saw travel intertwine with his previous careers as a lifestyle journalist and elite special events planner. When Nick returned to L.A after grad school, he immediately began working as a luxury travel designer for one of the city’s top agencies and now runs his own firm, Upgraded. | | | | | | | | | |
