A new global ezine called TourismExecutives.com focuses exclusively on leadership in the hospitality, travel and tourism industry. We’re pleased (but not surprised) that the editor chose Landry & Kling CEO Joyce Landry as the featured executive to represent the travel industry in the the magazine’s premiere issue.

In the profile, Joyce Landry: The Port in a Storm, Dr. Elinor Garley remarks “Landry and Kling are pioneers in the use of cruise ships as floating hotels. In fact, Landry’s telephone number should be on speed dial for every corporate and government travel executive [editor's emphasis], for she can find a ship and get you home safely…”

Here’s an excerpt from Dr. Garley’s article:

Margaret Thatcher said, “If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman,” and when it comes to moving corporate and government executives from one part of the universe to the other or disaster victims from crises to safety – and it can be done by sea, there is one woman who can make it happen: Joyce Landry, the CEO of Landry & Kling, Inc. Since 1982, Joyce and her partner, Josephine Kling, have successfully transferred heads of state and corporate presidents as well as victims of Katrina, from one port to another. Dockside charter projects include the 1992 Barcelona Olympics; 2005 Super Bowl (Jacksonville, FL); 2007 Cricket World Cup (West Indies) and the 2009 Summit of the Americas (Trinidad).
