Kristan Hamill

I am an entrepreneur and the proud owner of GoSmart Travel. My passion lies in helping customers create trips of a lifetime, ensuring every journey is unforgettable and uniquely tailored to their desires, while also helping travel agents achieve success in their careers at GoSmart Travel.

My early life was spent in Saudi Arabia, traveling the globe with my mother, who was a tour guide for the International Women's Association. This early exposure to diverse cultures and destinations ignited my love for travel.

In 2019, I entered the travel industry as a franchisee for a large, nationally known brand. Our operation quickly became the fastest-growing operation that year. During the travel industry shutdown caused by COVID-19, I realized that our agents could be more effective working remotely. This insight led me to leave the national brand and establish GoSmart Travel. By turning the royalties we paid to the national brand back to the agents, we became one of the top-paying host agencies in the U.S.

Today, GoSmart Travel is pioneering the use of AI in the travel industry, from AI-powered group cruise booking pages to smart tools that help our agents work faster and smarter. We are committed to leveraging technology to enhance both the travel experience and the business of travel advising.
