Ms. Carter's ten-year career in the travel industry includes experience working for online travel agencies Expedia, Orbitz, and VEGAS.com and, most recently, at hotel properties Palms Casino Resort and Palms Place Hotel and Spa.
At the Palms, Ms. Carter oversaw internet marketing efforts, including managing online travel agency relationships and online marketing and social media growth. Prior to that, she served as Client Development Manager at VEGAS.com for more than four years. In that role, she was responsible for cultivating relationships with hotel, nightclub and restaurant partners whose gross sales approached $60 million.
Ms. Carter's hospitality career began at Expedia during the company's inception in the late 1990's.

She later worked for Orbitz, where she established the OTA's merchant model across the western United States.
"Carrie's diversity of experience, strong industry relationships and high impact personality will be a compliment to our expanding operations," said Travelscream CEO Tom Griffin.
In her new role, Ms. Carter will introduce travel service providers to Travelscream's two key programs -- the Travel Deals Network, which delivers travel promotions onto websites, emails and other media channels of leading publishers, and the Social Media Toolkit of content distribution and social marketing tools.
"I have been involved with online travel merchandising since its inception, and I can truly say Travelscream offers a platform of products unique to our industry," said Carter. "As the Internet continues to mature and more and more travel marketers realize the returns that can be achieved through these cost-effective, turnkey marketing programs, the sky is the limit on how we can succeed together."
