New York, NY, January 29, 2021 – Global Travel Collection (GTC), the world’s largest collection of travel industry agents and agencies serving luxury leisure, VIP corporate and entertainment travel needs worldwide, continues to expand its presence, adding 70 new travel advisors to its team in six months. The advisors, 25 of which hail from the United Kingdom, consist of well-established names in the industry as well as travel agency newcomers.

“Even though travel is one of the industries that has been most affected by the pandemic, many advisors see the plentiful opportunities for when demand returns,” said Angie Licea, President of Global Travel Collection. “Those who are truly determined to succeed are seeking affiliation with trusted travel companies that offer best-in-class training, support, business development tools and technology. Our new advisors recognize all of that in Global Travel Collection, and we are fortunate to have them join our team.”

Global Travel Collection represents the largest and most sophisticated community of luxury travel agencies, including the well-established networks of Protravel International, Tzell Travel Group, and Colletts Travel, as well as Andrew Harper, In the Know Experiences, All Star Travel Group and R. Crusoe & Son. It’s comprised of highly successful and driven global travel entrepreneurs, all of whom take pride in their stellar reputations and industry leadership.

Global Travel Collection provides advisors with the support they need to run service-oriented businesses and immersive sophisticated marketing programs to drive business. The scale and influence of Global Travel Collection, as part of Internova Travel Group, also means that advisors have access the industry’s most desirable commercial deals.

Land, Protravel, Global Travel Collection. “I am delighted that I made my decision to join.”

Internationally, the company has been a strong advocate for the travel community.

“With the ongoing lockdowns worldwide, specifically in the United Kingdom, travel advisors are joining Global Travel Collection because of the strength and commitment we have not only to our travel advisors, but to the entire travel industry as a whole,” said Jason Oshiokpekhai, Managing Director, GTC UK. “We will continue to do everything in our power to support travel advisors with various business opportunities here in the United Kingdom and globally.”
