Hannah Lohmer Recognized as Rising Star by Travel Agent Magazine

Stillwater’s Hannah Lohmer has been named by Travel Agent Magazine as one of the top 30 under 30 travel specialists in the industry.

“There has never been a time in my life where I was not involved in some aspect of the travel industry,”  said Lohmer, a certified leisure travel specialist with Travel Leaders Stillwater. “My parents owned and operated a travel agency in our hometown of Stillwater since 1977 and only recently retired in October 2011. This afforded me the opportunity to visit many places multiple times and experience them at various ages.”

After studying French at the University of St. Thomas—and living abroad for five months—Lohmer found it easy to promote visits to France and Western Europe.

“Since starting with Travel Leaders in October of 2011, I have focused on those destinations that I am most familiar with,” she said. “Family packages to warm-weather destinations are a must in Minnesota.” While she appreciates the value of social media and an online presence in building a personal brand, Lohmer is much more appreciative of personal networking.

“I use social media to help establish me as a well-known professional in the travel industry and to continue to gain more exposure and clientele,” Lohmer said. “I contribute as a blogger on our community Patch where I give readers travel tips and write about new destinations or inspiration for trips that may be unknown to most.”

Sandy Lovick, president of Market Square Travel had this to say about Lohmer:

“Hannah is well-traveled, well-spoken and energetic. As a travel agency owner, the trait that stands out for me is Hannah’s ability as a self-motivator. She is loved and appreciated by her clients for her concern and the thorough way she handles their travel arrangements.” 

In addition to the recognition by Travel Agent Magazine, Lohmer was also recognized by Travel Leaders Group for completing her training to be named a Certified Leisure Travel Consultant.
