Doria Gomez

President @Travel By Appointment

Tampa/St. Petersburg, FL, US

Doria focuses on several areas of travel specialty and expertise. In addition to cruising Europe and the Caribbean, Doria concentrates on Destination Weddings in the Dominican Republic, and her latest passion – China. Her travels have taken her to China several times including Taipei, Shanghai, Beijing, and Hong Kong and all points in between. Her love for this area of the world was sparked when her son Severiano moved there in 2006 to learn the Mandarin language and the Chinese culture. Doria enjoys a special relationship with the Paradisus Palma Real, Punta Cana/Dominican Republic where she has completed over ten weddings just in the last two years. Her expertise in the coordination of guests and her unparalleled service earns her high marks with the resort, the resort wedding coordinator, and all of the fortunate brides and grooms. With a loyal, longtime client base, Doria will continue to market her services through her branded name – Travel by Appointment.“There is no substitute for personalized service. The luxury traveler I assist would not have it any other way. Multiple phone calls to a distant call center is not the way to plan a client’s leisure time when lifetime memories are at stake – a personal experience with expertise and accountability is what the sophisticated, discerning traveler wants.” Doria is a native of Tampa and is of Italian and Spanish decent. She has served her clients for over 25 years in the Tampa Bay Area. Doria is a member of the Virtuoso Media Advisory Board for Destination Weddings, Islands, and Caribbean Travel/Life magazines for the term 20••••13
