Daniela DeRita

Jr. Group Tour Planner, Exeter | Year Started in travel: 2022

I started at Ellison in January of 2024 and I am very excited to be part of the team!

I grew up travelling with my family within North America and Europe, this gave me experience with planning, booking, and researching trips. In high school I got the opportunity to attend a Europe trip hosted by my high school. This trip included England, France, Germany, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein. This opportunity solidified my passion for travelling and experiencing tourism in other countries.

It only seemed to make sense that I turn my passion into my career, so I attended Fanshawe College’s Travel and Tourism program and graduated in 2021. I started my travel career in 2022 at an agency specializing in the Disney Vacation Club rental point process. This opportunity gave me lifelong Disney knowledge and drove me to want more experience as a travel agent.

I started at Ellison Travel, and I am very excited to learn and gain so much knowledge as a Group Planner.

I am half Italian and half Greek, so I hold Italy and Greece close to my heart of favourite places I have travelled. Some of my other favourite vacation spots are Mexico, Dominican Republic, Florida, and Myrtle Beach.

I am always open to discussing new travel destinations, good food spots and ways to make travel easier.

I look forward to creating long life memories and sharing my knowledge to plan your next tour!
