Group and Affinity Travel
Humans with close connections and personal relationships tend to thrive more than those who don’t have these close bonds. These relationships offer us friendship, validity, and support and are often nurtured with shared interests. That’s why finding your tribe of like-minded individuals are the perfect companions for group and affinity travel programs.
Invested Traveler develops thoughtful, intentionally crafted experiences that allow you to spend quality time with the people that support the things you care about most – like your hobbies, college or university, fraternity or sorority or even your most valued clients and prospects.
Whatever your interest (except those that don’t align with our values), we can help you plan an amazing experience, with fresh ideas and resources that support your group’s common goals. You’ll always receive the highest levels of personalized service while benefitting from cost savings associated with volume pricing.
Group travel is a great way to see new places while deepening relationships that are rooted in shared interests – and an even better way to make relationship cultivation more meaningful and prosperous.

Hotel Revenue Management Solutions
Based on the conversations we have and sales behaviors we see, we’ve developed a new training programs that support current trends in business and growth strategies.
Training Opportunity: What’s Your Game Plan: Winning with Government Contracts
The Federal Government has a tremendous need for Facilities and Conference Services. In fact, the federal government has awarded over 100,000 contracts worth $677 million to the 721110 NAICS since 2017. While hotels are eager to book this revenue, they tend to do so merely by low-balling on pricing for a high-value product.
The public-sector market is highly fragmented and there is no hotel with proven market leadership. Plus, with the recent changes to the SAM that may restrict your ability to go-to contract direct, increased risk with BPOs and competition for conference and meeting space, it all add up to confusion and mistakes that often times cost you time, money and employee disengagement.
Training Opportunity: Increase Your Meetings and Events Revenue with a Focus on Women Entrepreneurs.
According to research conducted by Hiscox insurance, women entrepreneurs have taken the reins in the business world over the last 15 years. The number of female-owned small businesses grew 1.5 times more than the overall national average for new ventures, with over 9 million female-led companies being reported in the U.S. during 2016.
Women entrepreneurs run the gamut from small, homebased business owners to powerful chief executives of some of the world’s most notable companies. While women still face certain challenges on the road to entrepreneurship, they are invariably changing the game by creating new business models and new jobs, and ultimately helping to shape and grow the economy.

Our collection is synonymous with luxury and epitomizes a time when traveling was a more gracious and pleasant experience. Through our collection, you have access to travel accessories that extend your everyday sensibilities while on the go.
