The Story
Daniel Oppliger
Daniel Oppliger is the founder of Tropical Sails Corp, a Travel Leaders Network Affiliate Agency based in El Paso, Texas. Since relocating to El Paso in 1986, Daniel has been immersed in the travel industry — first with a local tour operator, then building his own agency.
With 65 countries visited and specialties spanning destination resorts, river cruises, solar eclipse expeditions, and curated group tours, Daniel brings an unmatched depth of personal experience to every itinerary he designs.
China and Turkey top the list with multiple group tours each. Chile, Argentina, Egypt, Australia, and Morocco are close behind. Daniel's philosophy is simple: you're on vacation, not a forced march. Every journey includes breathing room, authentic local experiences, and the kind of insider knowledge that only comes from having been there.
We have contacts all over the world to make your tour great. We know the suppliers who will cater to your needs whether it be solo or a group tour. Your El Paso Travel Agency is here to serve you.
