We wish Journeys Connect the best and are excited to further our long-term vision of operating wholly owned or fully managed travel brands.” says Greg Dejak, DH SVP Finance & Operations.

“We very much value our relationship with USTOA and one of our priorities is to rejoin USTOA as an independent active member as soon as possible” says Marc Kavanagh, CEO of Journeys Connect. “We are also very grateful for the tremendous partnership we’ve had with DH, who has managed our custom group operations since our company was founded in 2013. Our company has grown up now and it is time for us to take all operations in-house and manage as a stand-alone entity.”
