WHO ARE WE ?

Expertise built on the ground, not in books

Before Maison Kaona, there were ten years at the helm of Travel-Insight. Ten years spent structuring communication strategies, managing a team, and mastering all the intricacies of marketing and communication for travel industry players. It was there that a simple conviction was forged: good communication is never just about "looking pretty," it serves a clear business objective.

Then came the turning point. The need to break free from a model that no longer reflected who I was, a work-life balance that had run its course, a structure too cumbersome to remain close to the ground. I created Maison Kaona to return to the essentials: a human-scale business that combines my two passions, communication and travel.

I am Célia Tichadelle, founder of Maison Kaona. And to support you with the same high standards that I apply to my own brand, I surround myself with a team of independent experts, mobilized according to the needs of each project.

Holaqueya: the proof on the ground

What distinguishes Maison Kaona is that my expertise does not stop at theory.

With Holaqueya , my travel agency in the Dominican Republic, I manage everything I offer my clients on a daily basis:

Social media strategy — I built a structured content plan (Reels, carousels, stories), designed to convert subscribers into buyers, not just generate reach.
Influencer marketing — I set up and manage operations with content creators, including hotel partnerships, visibility incentives and competitions, from negotiation to execution.
B2B communication & business development — I design email campaigns to generate business appointments at international industry trade shows, I meet with agencies and tour operators.
Press relations — Holaqueya has been featured in 50 Minutes Inside, on TF1's news program, as well as in the B2B and lifestyle press: concrete proof of my ability to generate top-tier media coverage, not just to theorize about it.

This dual role — as the head of a travel brand AND a communications agency — changes everything. I don't advise from the outside: I know what it's like to have to turn an Instagram post into a sale, a B2B email into a meeting, an influencer collaboration into concrete results.

Un spectre d'expertises complet, jamais superficiel

A comprehensive range of expertise, never superficial

This field experience informs each area of expertise that I offer to my clients, with the support of my team of independent experts:

Communication strategy — because ten years of structuring communication plans is not something you can just improvise.
Social media — because Holaqueya is the living demonstration of it, every week.
Press relations — because Holaqueya was featured in 50 Minutes Inside, on TF1's news program and in the B2B and lifestyle press: making a brand, a destination or a client shine also involves media visibility, and I know how to achieve it.
Consulting — because a perspective that has managed a team and an agency for ten years knows how to challenge a strategy from within.
Training — because passing on this know-how to other teams is part of my DNA, I who was trained to make others shine before making my own house shine.

Why Maison Kaona, in a nutshell

Because Maison Kaona is not an agency that theorizes communication: it is a house that I run by practicing, testing and proving every day what I offer you, on my own brand — before putting it at the service of yours.
