Travel + Leisure Recognition – A-List Specialist 2026

Prestige, Reaffirmed. Honored once again by Travel + Leisure.

Tia Lovisa Moreira: A proud repeat honor from Travel + Leisure A-List

It is with immense pride, deep gratitude, and genuine joy that I share the wonderful news that our Vice President, Tia Lovisa Moreira, has once again been named to the 2026 Travel + Leisure A-List — the distinguished directory of the world’s most influential travel specialists.This recognition is a beautiful affirmation of Tia’s extraordinary destination expertise, her deeply rooted local relationships, and her intuitive, thoughtful way of curating journeys that are both meaningful and unforgettable. It is also, for me, a moment that reflects the heart and history of VisitCroatia.com – Tasteful Croatian Journeys — more than 30 years after I first set foot into the extraordinary discovery of Croatia and its neighboring countries with nothing more than passion, belief, and a dream.

Tia has not only honored that original vision — she has elevated it. With grace, brilliance, and unwavering dedication, she has carried it forward and refined it into something even more exceptional. She embodies our philosophy of luxury travel: authentic, personal, meticulously crafted, and delivered with genuine care. Watching our travelers fall in love not only with Croatia but also with the artistry and attention to detail behind every experience she designs fills my heart with gratitude. On a personal note, Tia honors the intent of my dream in ways that move me deeply. She has grown into a remarkable leader and an extraordinary caretaker of the wonder of luxury travel — thoughtful, elegant, and passionately committed to excellence. She makes me proud every single day.

My heartfelt thanks to Travel + Leisure for this esteemed recognition. To our cherished travelers, thank you for the trust you continue to place in us. And to our exceptional professional team, along with our treasured network of local friends and partners — your dedication, creativity, loyalty, and commitment are the foundation upon which these journeys come to life. Warmest congratulations to all of the outstanding travel experts recognized on this year’s A-List. It is a true privilege for Tia to stand among such distinguished peers. She makes me — and our entire team — immensely proud, and I am confident she will continue to elevate the standard of excellence that this honor represents.    With gratitude, celebration, and a full heart,   Wanda S. Radetti and team TASTEFUL CROATIAN & SLOVENIAN JOURNEYS

These honors are not only a reflection of individual achievement, but of the shared spirit, vision, and dedication that have defined our journey for three decades.
