Team Spotlight: Anna Kaitlyn Berry
We are excited to share our latest team spotlight, Account Executive Anna Kaitlyn (AK) Berry.
AK covers the Northern Louisana, Mississippi and Arkansas territory and is a great asset to the Advance Travel squad.
AK is originally from Magee, Mississippi. After attending junior college in Wesson, MS and finishing her degree at Ole Miss, AK somehow found her way to Starkville – IYKYK. She came to us straight after college and we’re honored to help foster her career in travel marketing,.
Her favorite thing about working in tourism? “Even though we’re all here to do a job – whatever that might look like – everyone cares for each other, wants to get to know one another, and is so collaborative and supportive.”
As far as favorite places to visit, AK loves going to Montana, or any island in the Carribbean.
Outside of work, she loves to go for runs, take classes at Pure Barre, and read. AK also loves to sew and crochet and is about to start learning how to smock. She would love to add embroidery/monogramming to the list one day.
Learn more about how we can help you adapt to the evolving marketing landscape and ramp up your efforts.

At Advance Travel & Tourism, we believe the best partnerships start with understanding the realities destination organizations face every day. That’s one of the many reasons we’re excited to welcome Thomas Salley to the team as our newest Account Executive.

Visibility used to follow a familiar pattern: search, rankings, clicks, visits. That structure is starting to shift. AI doesn’t just retrieve pages. It assembles responses. Instead of presenting a list of links, it’s interpreting information and building answers. That changes how destinations appear—and whether they appear at all. Being present online is no longer the only requirement.

Clarity is starting to play a different role. Not just in messaging—but in visibility. As AI systems interpret and assemble information, they favor content that’s easy to understand and easy to use. That creates a subtle shift. Destinations compete on clarity and speed—who makes sense fastest gets the decision.
