Meet Your Trip Whisperer Team
Jessica Parker
Founder, aka The Trip Whisperer
Jessica Parker is the founder of Trip Whisperer, a hybrid luxury travel advisory and travel public relations agency born from nearly two decades inside the travel and hospitality industry.
Her career began in global travel PR and marketing, representing brands including Singapore Airlines, Expedia, Hilton Luxury Brands, and The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism. She helped launch high-profile initiatives like Universal’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter and the Waldorf Astoria x James Beard Foundation’s “Taste of Waldorf” partnership—overseeing everything from destination strategy and satellite media tours to celebrity-driven events and on-site logistics.
She later moved in-house as Director of Marketing for Denihan Hospitality Group, leading brand strategy, luxury positioning, and guest programming for two Manhattan hotels.
But over time, something shifted.
As media landscapes changed and travelers became more discerning, Jessica noticed the lines between PR, sales, storytelling, and direct bookings were blurring. Editors were asking for insider access. Hotel clients wanted deeper relationships with advisors. Travelers wanted the kind of itineraries that felt editorial, not templated.
So Trip Whisperer evolved.
Today, the agency operates as a true hybrid:
Representing hospitality brands, destinations, and travel companies through strategic, relationship-driven public relations
Designing bespoke, editorial-worthy travel experiences for private clients who want access, nuance, and insider perspective, as well as corporate travel support for business travel
Jessica’s background in earned media gives her travel clients an edge. She understands how destinations are positioned, which hotels are truly delivering, and where the story is stronger than the marketing copy. Conversely, her work booking and traveling extensively keeps her PR counsel grounded in what today’s traveler actually wants.
She works with high-net-worth individuals, adventurous families, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders, as well as hotel brands, tourism boards, and travel innovators shaping what’s next.
At the heart of it all is one belief:
The best travel experiences and the best PR strategies — come from seeing both sides of the industry.
Trip Whisperer isn’t just about booking rooms or landing headlines. It’s about connection, access, and understanding how the entire ecosystem works.
Because you don’t need to be a travel editor to travel like one.
