Schoolcraft Tourism & Commerce Congratulates New Owner of Blue Diamond Travel Agency

Manistique, MI (April, 2026)– Schoolcraft Tourism & Commerce (STC) is pleased to

congratulate Brandi Minor on her recent purchase of Blue Diamond Travel Agency, a

locally owned business dedicated to helping travelers create memorable and

meaningful experiences.

Minor’s journey with Blue Diamond Travel Agency began in 2019 when she joined the

business under its previous owners, Mark and Jen Giannunzio. What started as an

opportunity to combine her passion for travel and planning quickly grew into a long-term

goal of ownership.

“I’ve always loved to travel and plan,” said Minor. “The opportunity to work with Blue

Diamond came at just the right time, and from the beginning, the goal was to eventually

purchase the business. When that time came, I was thrilled to take the leap. I love this

job and take so much pride in helping others travel.”

Minor brings both personal passion and professional experience to her new role.

Although she didn’t grow up traveling, her first flight at age 19 sparked a lifelong love of

exploring new destinations, something she now shares with her clients through

personalized travel planning.

Blue Diamond Travel Agency specializes in full-service, customized travel experiences

at no additional cost to clients. From Caribbean all-inclusive vacations to European

tours and adventure travel, Minor focuses on creating trips that are tailored to each

client’s interests and preferences.

“As the travel industry continues to evolve, we are seeing a shift toward experience-

based travel,” Minor explained. “People want to truly connect with a destination—its

culture, cuisine, and unique offerings. At Blue Diamond, I focus on guiding clients with

real expertise to create those meaningful, experience-filled trips.”

In addition to personalized service, Blue Diamond Travel Agency offers ongoing support

before, during, and after travel, providing peace of mind in the event of unexpected

changes or disruptions.

Minor is also deeply committed to the local community and actively supports

partnerships and events. One upcoming initiative includes the agency’s annual raffle in

partnership with Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital, featuring a $3,100 cruise prize, with

tickets available locally and a winner to be announced on June 1.

“Small businesses are what make our community thrive,” said Minor. “I’m proud to be

part of Manistique and hope to continue supporting local events while helping our

community travel with ease.”

Schoolcraft Tourism & Commerce recognizes the importance of small business

leadership and community investment.

“On behalf of Schoolcraft Tourism & Commerce, we would like to congratulate Brandi on

this exciting new chapter,” said Victoria George, Executive Director of STC. “Her

passion for travel, commitment to customer service, and dedication to our community

make her a wonderful fit as the new owner of Blue Diamond Travel Agency. We are

excited to see her continue to grow the business and enhance travel opportunities for

residents across the region.”

Looking ahead, Minor’s goals include expanding awareness of Blue Diamond Travel

Agency throughout the area and continuing to provide exceptional, personalized service

to clients.

For travelers seeking expert guidance, customized itineraries, and stress-free planning,

Blue Diamond Travel Agency offers a trusted local resource—combining professional

expertise with a genuine passion for creating unforgettable travel experiences.
