## Story

“I am humbled to be recognized by South Florida Business & Wealth for the Prestigious Women Award alongside so many noteworthy leaders who are making a difference in our community,” said Fiorino. “I believe that transparency and empathy are key traits of every successful leader and this was never more evident than during the past year. So many of our corporate employees and network of travel agents across the country were facing unprecedented challenges, and it was inspiring seeing them come together and support each other.

I’m confident that we will move into the future stronger than ever before.”

The Prestigious Women Awards recognizes leaders in the South Florida tri-county area who have had business success while providing leadership opportunities for women and the broader community. Fiorino is being recognized as a C-suite executive for her outstanding work in the travel and franchise industry.

Fiorino is well known as a transformative leader in the business, franchising, and travel communities. Her other accolades include being named an Influential Business Woman by South Florida Business Journal, a Power Woman by Moves magazine and a Woman of Wonder by Franchise Dictionary magazine. Later in 2021, AmaWaterways will recognize Fiorino as Godmother of its newest ship, AmaSiena.
