  Meet Ray Williams President & Co-Founder, Destinations By Sylvia,LLC Hospitality Professional | Travel Curator | Event Expert

For more than 30 years, I’ve lived a life centered around hospitality. With degrees in both business and culinary arts, my professional journey began in the fast-paced, high-touch world of luxury hotels specifically managing events and conventions for 5-star properties.

That experience taught me the power of:

• precision,
• planning,
• and personal attention skills

I now bring to every travel itinerary I design. I’ve always believed hospitality is more than service it’s an experience. Whether I was orchestrating high-end galas or international conferences, my role was to anticipate needs, handle every detail, and deliver something truly memorable.

Today, I apply that same mindset to travel advising. From Executive Events to Executive Travel I often explain the value of a travel advisor like this: “Anyone can cook, but not everyone is a chef.” I approach travel the way an Executive Chef approaches a signature dish layered, balanced, intentional.

I don't just book trips I curate them, with the same care and expertise I once used to manage elite hotel events. Inclusive Travel With Heart As a certified Diversity Professional through the DEI Council, I prioritize inclusion in every plan I create.

My clients are individuals with unique identities, stories, and dreams. Whether it’s a romantic getaway, a solo wellness escape, or a milestone celebration, I design every journey to reflect who they are and what matters most to them.
