WASHINGTON, Feb. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Last week, Georgetown's own Ruchi Harnal was named to travel magazine Travel + Leisure's 23rd annual list of the most influential trip specialists in the world.
Travel + Leisure Magazine specifically recognized Ruchi Harnal for her extensive expertise in multigenerational travel, a segment which emphasizes strengthening family bonds through curated experiences that not only cater to a broad range of ages and abilities but also foster opportunities for connection.

To continue to be recognized on a global scale for a job that I love to do is truly special."
