The advisors, 25 of which hail from the United Kingdom, consist of well-established

affected by the pandemic, many advisors see the plentiful
opportunities for when demand returns," said Angie Licea, President of Global Travel

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."

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

commercial deals.

providers and vendors, but with other advisors in the industry,"
said luxury travel advisor Lori
McMurtry, Protravel, Global Travel Collection. "The

valuable."
- "I loved the fact that All Star Travel Group has established
brand notoriety," said Renae

access to a larger support structure, a seasoned team, training and
professional development, and competitive travel programs."
